I just heard the President's statement to the press. He didn't name names, but he said that while the nation has so many important things to deal with, unemployment, rising gas prices, the budget, etc., he was discouraged to see that this "silliness" had dominated the recent news cycle. He wanted to do this to quiet the "side shows and carnival barkers". Ouch.

He said that we all had better things to do, and then left the podium without taking any questions. I see that Trump doesn't even have the class to admit he was wrong. Jerk.
