Member of Obama National Finance Committee Attacks Palin Family -- Not Fired as Sen. Obama promised

On Friday's Laura Ingraham radio show (audio here), a member of the Obama campaign's National Finance Committee, Howard Gutman, directly and forcefully questioned the parenting of Gov. Sarah Palin:

"This has nothing to do with gender, whether Todd Palin was the nominee or Sarah Palin was the nominee," [Howard] Gutman said. "If my daughter had just come home at 17 years old and said, 'Mom, Dad, I'm pregnant, we have a family problem,' I wouldn't say, 'You know what we're going to do? We're going to take this private family problem...and you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to go on the international stage and broadcast this to the world.'"

Obama should have fired Howard Gutman immediately for his insubordination, instead he has a spokesman issue a typically flaccid warning...Gutman directly challenged the leadership of Obama and gets away scot free with an emailed apology to a reporter... [...] When I say Gutman is a "member" of Obama's National Finance Committee, I mean it. He's a "BSD" --- one of only 35 bundlers to raise over $500,000 for Obama on par with David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg.

No wonder he thinks he can ignore Obama's orders; Howard Gutman owns Obama.

Oh, and there's this gem:

'Other notable bundlers include former registered lobbyist and defense attorney Howard Gutman, who in 2001 represented Susan Rosenberg a member of Bill Ayers’s domestic terror group the Weather Underground, someone who was “Lobbyist of the Year” in 2006'

Once again, Barack "Community Organizer" Obama fails a test of leadership.

I don’t think that he’s returning all those donations to his corrupt and foreign donors either. That’s just something they say to pacify the buffoons in the “media.”

Webster.

"If my daughter had just come home at 17 years old and said, 'Mom, Dad, I'm pregnant'...I wouldn't say"

We know darn well what the left's politically aspired Death Cult does to the unborn.

[fantom]

We are seeing the complete meltdown from the left . The obama stink bomb is on the way.

[supremedoctrine]

Wow....that little jewel in the resume of defending Ayer’s pal Susan Rosenberg, is almost as good as his working for/with/over/under Barack Obama. THIS connection of BHO’s deserves a commercial of its own.

[Southack]

Guttman the Lobbyist of the Year and Obama promising to not take any money from lobbyists deserves a commercial all its own, too...

Rumor has it there was a vote on whether to fire Gutman. Unfortunately, Obama voted “Present”.

[VeniVidiVici]

I think we need to hammer this lawyer angle. The Democrat Party, party of the little guy is owned lock, stock and barrel by lawyers. Two lawyers with no military experience are the Democrat Party nominees for president and vice-president.

And everyone hates lawyers.

Once again, Barack "Community Organizer" Obama fails a test of leadership.

Luckily, some community organizers have no real responsibility.

The fact that there exists a LITIGATION MAGAZINE just about makes my head explode. I can just imagine all the parasite trial lawyers rushing home to see if this month’s copy has arrived, featuring:

- 10 New Ways to Please Your Jury!
- 1 Client, 0 Case, 7-Figures? An 8 Minute Payday!
- The Fun Side of More Regulation: You’re Already In, Now Keep Others Out!

Seriously guys. Not to hijack, but: Litigation. Magazine. Seriously.

Is this bundler a Muslim too?

[BurbankKarl]

That decision was above his paygrade.

Rumor has it there was a vote on whether to fire Gutman. Unfortunately, Obama voted “Present”.

ROTFLMAO!

[river rat]

EVERYTHING of significance is above Obama’s pay grade and intellect.

The clown is truly a ZERO -— nothing going for him but skin tone, glib tongue, lots of money and a whole lot of unsavory friends...

And everyone hates lawyers

Liberal Lawyers want to be President and VP. No experience - but they were present their whole career.

Interesting that he is with Williams & Connolly. They are the firm to hire when you have to win. They are lawyers to the Clintons (David Kendall).

They are very very expensive, but they are pretty much the best for criminal defense.

[nw_arizona_granny]

Ping.

[Centurion2000]

hypocracy of the left bump.

Reckon he's any kin to Kaspar Gutman?
