Hillary Clinton yet again put her self-awareness on the back burner by being “appalled” at Donald Trump’s failure to correct a questioner who claimed that President Obama is not American and is a Muslim.
We’ll see if Hillary finds Trump’s explanation about what happened (or didn’t happen as it were) satisfactory:
Am I morally obligated to defend the president every time somebody says something bad or controversial about him? I don't think so!

This is the first time in my life that I have caused controversy by NOT saying something.

If someone made a nasty or controversial statement about me to the president, do you really think he would come to my rescue? No chance!

If I would have challenged the man, the media would have accused me of interfering with that man's right of free speech. A no win situation!
