No one is required to answer for any wrongdoing that some speculate they may have committed if there is no evidence of any wrongdoing having taken place. I'm not defending Obama, but generally speaking no one is required to respond to wild speculation unless their position becomes untenable without an account of their actions. The President's position is, for now, quite tenable.
