Obama Praises Clinton Aide Smeared By Michele Bachmann

Huma Abedin, the Hillary Clinton aide and wife of former Congressman Anthony Weiner who was accused by Michele Bachmann and other Republicans of having ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, was praised by the president at a Ramadan dinner.

They are entrepreneurs and lawyers, community leaders, members of our military, and Muslim American women serving with distinction in government. And that includes a good friend, Huma Abedin, who has worked tirelessly — (applause) — worked tirelessly in the White House, in the U.S. Senate, and most exhaustingly, at the State Department, where she has been nothing less than extraordinary in representing our country and the democratic values that we hold dear. Senator Clinton has relied on her expertise, and so have I.

The American people owe her a debt of gratitude — because Huma is an American patriot, and an example of what we need in this country — more public servants with her sense of decency, her grace and her generosity of spirit. So, on behalf of all Americans, we thank you so much.
