"I don't think anybody believes that in the last six years, all of a sudden Bill Clinton has become a different person," Geffen said in an oblique reference to questions surrounding the former president's private life.
After seeing the comments yesterday morning, the Clinton campaign immediately issued a call for Obama to disavow Geffen's remarks and return his $2,300 donation, arguing that they were contrary to Obama's pledge to run a positive campaign.
Obama weighed in later. "It's not clear to me why I would be apologizing for someone else's remarks," he said in Iowa, where he had gone instead of the candidates forum because of a prior commitment. "My sense is that Mr. Geffen may have differences with the Clintons, but that doesn't really have anything to do with our campaign."

It was cut & paste from an article. He ALSO questioned BOTH of their integrity - some comments about their lying is what I heard on the radio this morning.

RLP - I am no fan of Obama's but I do not feel he should apologzie for the remarks of others. He will self destruct in time.

Hillary? make an apology? this is unpossible! she will make each and all of the veiled threats she needs. the absolutely everyone seems to be going to take a huge gamble on attempting to choose somebody clever and with a bit of luck trouble-free to occupy the optimal place of work in the land. That guy or woman being Obama. She's extra performed than an overcooked T-Bone steak. Her & bill might desire to entice close it up and examine out to entice close onto that N.Y. Senate seat. i wish the recent Yorkers kick her out of there after this pathetic marketing campaign of hers. John Lucas

Hold on RLP, Geffen said it not Obama. Bearing in mind Obama owes his national status to Bill, I doubt he would have sanctioned that kind of comment in the first instance.

Of course he should - right after you apologize for comments made by Michael Savage, Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity, as well as for the Fox-fueled smear campaign that claimed Obama was brainwashed in a madrassa in his youth.
A sincere, heart-felt apology is the only thing that will be sufficient.
Oh yeah, and apologize for posing such an idiotic question while you are at it.

You listen to Rush to much. I heard him ramble on and on about this too.
Obama made a good point when he said: "It's not clear to me why I would be apologizing for someone else's remarks,"
Rush is just doing his best to bring down everyone that isn't a Republican.
