Kasich: Trump owes Obama apology for birtherism claim

[kpete]

"You know, yeah," the Ohio governor told NBC's "Meet the Press" when asked if Trump owes the president an apology.

Kasich, who ended his own presidential bid in May and has not endorsed the Republican nominee, said he doesn't agree with questioning Obama's birthplace.

Kasich said the issue and the fact that it keeps getting raised reflects a "growing division and anger" between people in the country who are members of different parties and have different philosophies.

"That's what we ought to be alarmed by. There was tremendous hatred being directed at George W. Bush, you know, that he needed to be impeached and all these insane things," Kasich said.

"And that same anger has moved on to Barack Obama. And it's going to move on to whoever should win this election. We ought to be alarmed with the drift in this country away from what's best for our nation and not what's best for me as I, you know, vent my anger or frustration."

Trump needs to apologize to President Obama

2. False equivalency Kasich. W was opposed for WHAT he did not WHO he is

but hey, we all know you have to sprinkle in some whimpering victimization or you get frozen out of your stupid little perverse world you all have going there.

7. Like an illegal war and occupation

Typical ReTHUG

3. The sad part - Kasich is a conservative. His party

left him and flew off into coo-coo land, taking half the country with it.

4. I thought Kasich was the candidate who could have pulled some Independent

Voters and given HRC a good run. Thankfully the right picked Trump.

5. Kasich, you missed the point: It's not always an hysterical, mindless, angry mob.

Wanting Shrub out of office was what reasonable, informed, thoughtful people wanted. He lied the entire planet into a war and recession. He had it coming. Those are not the same people who spew hatred at Obama.

The people who hate Obama will most likely be the same who hate HRC, however.

6. I get so sick of folks asking for apologies...

First of all, rarely is anyone actually sorry for whatever.. But it always reminds me of gang behavior..

"Man, I just had to shoot him, he didn't respect me...Don't disrespect me man, you better apologize...."

Also, the media spends days "reporting" about apologizes. Will they? Should they? Was that an apology? He says they should, they say they won't... Blah de blah blah blah...
