Don't know why he felt the need to apologize. He said what about 60+% of Americans feel.
depressing in that comments made by O's supporters are emotional and not of sound reasoning. I don't care about the birth cert issue as it's never going to change the fact O is in office. What concerns me is the bashing by dems / liberals all come down to saying anyone who does not support O is a racist.
I don't know why he thought he had to apologize either. That is a the problem with politicians, they never stand their ground. If you're going to apologize just keep your yap shut in the first place. Tells me he wasn't thinking about what he was saying.Quote:

+1, there is nothing to apologize for in my opinion. It is sad to see that this kind of messaging is trying to be silenced. I wish he would stand by his statement!
If you can't stand behind what you say, then you shouldn't stand at all.
Ball less.
Ya I was fricken disgusted with him when he apologized and tried to change his statement! Say it then stand your ground.
Just another Pollytickian worried more about their re-election than doing the RIGHT thing......
