Just one more reason to like the hell out of the guy. He's all class!

usually when one says "lay off" to the 7th grade mentality, it essentially like asking for trouble.

Just drink the kool aid wingnuts.

Ok.. So if Candidates wives arent off the table... lets all focus on Cindy Mccain and her stealing drugs from a charity to fuel her addiction.. or on Mccain for firing the guy who discovered it and reported it to the DEA.

I havent heard a squeak on that story from the media, but people are constantly questioning Michelles patriotism... At least she isnt a thieving drug addict.... I mean.. this could be the First Lady.. AND SHE WAS STEALING DRUGS FROM A CHARITY!

Seriously..

She said these things while campaigning for Obama, thus it's fair game.

If this is the case then people shouldn't have criticized Bill Clinton for his statements.

Bill Clinton is a former president. If you can't see the difference, the world mourns for you.

I wonder if Obama's strategy is to put candidate's spouses on the table with this tactic, because he knows Cindy McCain has much bigger negatives than does Michelle Obama.

It might have been more fun if he'd adopted the line, "John McCain, you do NOT want to go there..."

I like Obama's style. He is basically calling the GOP out. These attacks on his wife are similar to those made about Obama's meeting with that Imam or with Rev. Wright. They are indirect shots at him but thus far, there has been very little directed towards him specifically.  What is the matter with the GOP?  Can't they hit their target?  Because, if this is the best that they can come up with as far as smears I doubt that they can and I think Obama knows it.

Obama to GOP: “Lay off my wife” with “low class” attacks

Why should they? To hear some people tell it Hillary not only knew what Bill was doing with Monica, she was taping it and selling it online.

This quote is from the link above "hell no"

"But the real reason for Obama’s extraordinary freakout is that he fears the release of the videotape, reported here, of Michelle Obama in the pulpit of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s church railing against “whitey.” And we don’t mean Whitey Ford. Four Republican sources have told me that the tape exists. I’ve also been informed that Karl Rove and his allies have a copy of it and are using it to raise funds for independent expenditure groups. The tape, I’m told, will be disclosed as the GOP October Surprise. It’s a ticking time bomb.

And I’ve learned that a right-wing Republican billionaire has put a $1 million bounty on the video. He doesn’t want John McCain to win, like a number of conservatives, and thinks Obama is a pathetically weak candidate. The billionaire wants that video released now."

So it's not enough for them to chew on Michell's sentence, they have to make up a story to cause more agitation.

How do you compare this with President "I've never seen a big butt I didn't want"? Bill DID bang Monica in the White House. Now what has Michelle Obama done to equate with that?

So taking Bill Clinton's words, editing them, taking them out of context and painting him as a racist is a-ok, but GOD FORBID the "The Chosen One's" wife says something on the campaign trail and is criticized for it.

Obama Rulz #281, It's we do it, it because we have to defend ourselves from "racist" attacks, but if it's done to us,. it's "low class."

Sounds to me like Obama is giving them fair warning. The GOP has been running filthy for years. There's probably plenty of crap Obama can use to bury his enemies without ever bringing up their wives or families. He'll be able to remain above the gossipy crap, and still cause major damage.

One can hope.

I heard the Republicans put their party above the country, that they use god as a weapon and only pretend to believe he exists. I heard they put personal profit above all else and some would divorce their wives on their deathbeds if it meant they could have sex again. I also heard they are willing to send our troops into battle against a nation who were notonly once our allies against the enemy we are about to illegally invade but used them to invade them with first. I heard nothing, no crime be it murder or rape or torture is beneath them. If we can't make a straightforward commercial out of that we just ain't that smart.

If candidate's wives are going to be a campaign issue, maybe Cindy Mccain should release her long awaited tax returns.

Here's the take on this over at Jack and Jill Politics:

http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/05/thats-way-to-defend-your-woma...

Pay attention to what Obama was really saying in code speak. LOL

People really need to stop saying "And I think the American people will see...".

Example, Obama says the attacks on his wife are 'low class'... and 'that the American people will see this.'

If that's true, then why complain? Isn't the cause for concern that politicians know the American people won't see?!

Politicians shold start saying, "...And I'm here to remind the American people not to be conned into permitting these low class attacks to work, and to hold themselves and their policticians to a higher standard."

why do Democrats presume that the Republicans are just going to turn over the surveillance and torture state apparatus to someone who would use it against them in either prosecutions, or persecutions/vendetta?

Nothing is going away. The system protects itself.

Left&Left @ 38:

How long will we have to read you sorry ass Hillary supporters invent bullshit issues on Obama with hopes of bring him down to Hillary's DOA campaign? Unlike McWar, who let the Republican party piss all over his wife Cindy and his reputation in South Carolina, Obama will regain even more respect for doing what any man should do by protecting his wife.

Yeah, look at how much respect Bill got for helping his.

That is the name of the game and it the same game that Rove and the others love to play. I seriously doubt that any such tape exists. In fact, I am tempted to file it right next to the non-existant Iraq WMD.

Even if it did exist, why would anyone give a flying fig if she used the term "whitey" ? The reslugs have called Obama everything but that and that's all fine and good as far as they're concerned but if he so much as mispronounces someone's name they're on it like a pack of rabid dogs.

I can only wonder what they're going to 'swift boat' him with in the end if they're already this deep in the muck and the official race hasn't even started yet.

Hillary, Nancy, and Laura are all highly influential in their husband's lives just as Cindy McCain and Michelle Obama.

My problem is that instead of running from her comments Michelle should stand up strong and articulate exactly why she said what she did.

Please know, I mean you no disrespect but that is such a powerful statement. I'm not saying anything about you or your patriotism, but it really says a lot that a person would feel that way. There was a time when almost all Americans really cared about our presidents. Obviously there has always been opposition but I believe there used to be a greater sense of respect for the person who held the office than there is now, and you provided a very elegant example to that affect.
Anyway, times have certainly changed.

She opens her mouth and she's fair game. That's just the way it is. If you think that they were hard on HRC, just wait and see what the wrong wing talking heads do to her. And in the process , drag the whole nation with her. I think this woman is smart. But the question is, Is she smart enough to dodge all the BS coming her way. She's been quiet lately, that says she's learned how this game is played..

I have talked informally with Republican women who like Obama, but don't like Michelle. It's for the usual stupid, superficial, knee-jerk, self-loathing reasons that Republican women hate Hillary Clinton or feminists. However, nobody ever said that people voted for logical reasons.

I think she's fantastic and it pisses me off that they are attacking her like this, but it shouldn't surprise anybody and I think this shows part of their counter-strategy. As usual, I think it's spot on.

Don't give 'em an inch Barack.

Remember the video of he guy who said he gave Senator Obama a bj and did drugs with him in a limo? Another piece of trash. It wouldn't surprise me at all for a grainy tape to pop up with a black woman in a distance saying something derogatory about "whitey".

I am not attacking LA Confidential. Long before this election LA and i have disagreed about many things. Why let an election change that?

I didn't mean to single you out x. know what I mean?

L.A. Confidential @ 125:

So how do voters in Florida and Michigan feel about their votes not counting.

Is that ever going to be resolved?

Of course not. Here in Tampa, the DNC rented the St. Pete Times forum for an Obama rally on Wednesday, the DNC gave away tickets to Obama donors only - said by a DNC spokesperson on an AM talk radio show.

Dean and his "anti-Clinton" cabal chose their nominee, and screwed DEMOCRACY in the process. Our votes will not be heard, our delegates will not be seated, our choice is being held hostage because they do not want Clinton to be the head of the DNC.

I'm disgusted with the DNC & being the presumptious nominee, I will write her name if it's available or vote for a third/fourth party candidate.

pissed off patricia @ 143:

I want the Democratic party to show as much class as their presumptive nominee is showing now.

Me too. I think Sen Obama's position of running a higher class campaign is not only refreshing, but also very smart. People are sick and tired of the campaigns of negativity. People deserve better. But I also want to win this election. This will be a tough general election. I hope this election will end up being something we all can be proud of.

I can't believe some people here attack L.A. for being a little controversial about this election. He's been here a long time and is a Democrat.
