The shorter Russert/Obama:

Russert: Senator Obama, you’re black. Louis Farrakhan is black. Please repeat after me: All the blacks hate all the Jews.

Obama: No, Tim.

Russert: Please?

Obama: No, Tim.

Russert: Don’t you agree that this will be much better television if I put the words “Judaism” and “gutter religion” in the same sentence?

Obama: Hard to say, Tim.

Russert: Louis Farrakhan, Moammar Qaddafi and your pastor walk into a bar. Doesn’t that prove that you hate all the Jews?

Obama: Actually Tim, I like Jewish people.

Clinton: I just think it’s very important to add that I like them more.
