... made a remark about protesters outside the Beverly Hills Hilton:
"There were some protesters out here. I could hear them-vaguely. I don't know what they were protesting. I think there was a group of them. But one of them started to chant "Obama, keep your promise" and I thought, that's fair. I don't know which promise that he was talking about. But I thought to myself, you know, I like that."

--Daily Kos


From the selections below, choose the answer that best describes how you feel about his remark.

(EDITED TO ADD BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE) There is more to the quote, but no transcript of his full remarks have been found.

Here is a http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/05/27/obama-rings-up-cash-among-the-stars/?scp=2&sq=beverly%20hilton&st=cse">link to the New York Times coverage of his remarks.

Perhaps the DNC will one day post a full quote on their website?

(EDITED AGAIN) Full quote posted, with source for transcript.
