People are jumping all over this quote from President Obama like it matters. Let me be perfectly blunt: It doesn’t.
Who among us hasn’t been in a situation where we realize too late that a casual remark was in poor taste? Yes, the President tends to be held to a higher standard. Yes, the President should have chosen his wording more carefully. Yes, some people are going to get their panties in a twist over this. But this isn’t “news”. It doesn’t represent President Obama’s actual views. It’s just an unfortunate choice of words. Anyone who uses this quote to bash Obama is shamelessly bowing to political expediency.
Let’s all be the bigger person and let this go, shall we?
