Obama: Palin supporters are ‘fiercely loyal’

The president, something of an expert on American politics, had a chance to weigh in on the resignation of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, but passed up an opportunity to predict what’s next for John McCain’s running mate on last year’s GOP presidential ticket.

“She has a fiercely loyal constituency within the Republican Party and in the conservative movement,” Obama told NBC. “But, you know, she says that this is something that is best for her family, and I respect that.”
