What Did Obama REALLY Say? (Updated)

I don't have a recording of exactly what Obama said, and ...

I am not going to review everything Obama said last week...

But I am going to ask the title question and try to answer it.

To my best recollection, Barack Obama said he was NOT going to QUESTION THE PATRIOTISM of Republicans... and he was not going to stand idly by while folks QUESTIONED HIS PATRIOTISM.

I just don't recall Barack Obama discussing anything beyond the endless, tiresome, back-and-forth accusations about the PATRIOTISM of political opponents on either side.  

To me this leaves open for discussion, the examinination of the WISDOM of Republican policies and the JUDGEMENT of Republican candidates. And it makes this examination a front-and-center campaign issue.

Maybe Obama is really doing yet another JUDO redirection of faux Republican outrage?
