The administration made a stupid, stupid statement, and now they're walking it back, just like the DNC walked back its intentional omission of God and Jerusalem in the Party platform. Regardless of what you think about the subjects, this sort of amateurish handling of everything is endemic in the Obama administration.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
