No, all he said was that the GOP had to force out Trent Lott (as opposed to some other party). He did not say "I want Trent Lott forced out" or even that he was calling for the GOP to force out Trent Lott. It was true that only the GOP could force Lott out, and that the GOP had to decide if he was someone they wanted to represent them. They decided and Lott went. It was pure politics --GOP decided that Lott was a political liability.

I don't think you can lay this at Obama's feet.
