Obama: "Lay Off My Wife" (Has Barack Obama Told His Wife To Lay Off Attacking Bush 43, America?
NewsChannel 5 - Nashville, Tennessee ^ | 5/20/2008 | Staff

Posted on 05/20/2008 7:45:03 AM PDT by Laissez-faire capitalist

On Monday, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama blasted the Tennessee Republican Party for the swipe it took at his wife.

A new ad contrasts Obama's wife, Michelle Obama's admission earler this year that "for the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country" with statements from people declaring their pride for the United States...

Later on, Michelle Obama tried to spin her way out of her admission.

Michelle Obama though, has also said that the United States is a mean country.

Now, if Barack Obama wants people to "lay off his wife," then why hasn't he said to his wife to lay off attacking Bush 43 for the past 11 months, or lay off attacking America?

If Michelle Obama has the right to say what she will about America, then people (including the GOP) have the right to say what they will about Michelle Obama's comments about America.

Isn't Barack Obama for free-speech in America? If so, he would welcome comments from all sides.

It seems that Barack Obama is pretty thin-skinned.

Barack Obama attacks the Republican Party, John McCain and his wife attacks America; Yet when people respond, he calls them divisive and tells them to back off.

“Michelle Obama though, has also said that the United States is a mean country.”

Yeah, real mean.

Where else but in this miraculous country can a bitter, perpetual chip-on-shoulder, throughly unaccomplished racist land a job paying several hundred thousand dollars per year for doing essentially nothing (”community affairs” for a Chicago hospital)?

Dear Mr. OsamaBAma,

You are now a public figure. Expect criticism of your wife, especially when she can’t keep her mouth shut.

No one can believe Michelle Obama is the delicate wilting flower her husband tells us she is.

This woman is one of the Queen Bees at Rev. Wright's church in fact, and she didn't get there by being "nice".

Before looking at the specifics, let us regard the premise. Is it up to him to give us a list of things that we may or may not talk about? No, it is not. We have been too kind tolerating him so far. You may not talk about my ears, my pastor, my associates, my wife, my policies, my Marxism, my vacuity, my inability to field a question on the fly, ..... he says. We say, “You may NOT tell us what to talk about. Govern yourself judiciously.”

Sorry, but with the advent of the power-hungry Clintons - ALL BETS ARE OFF! The “albatross” Clintons and the Democrat Party are forever locked in an embrace. Hillary Clinton has used her husband to grab an immense amount of power and sense of entitlement. We are forewarned forever now to expect this sort of power grabs from President’s feminist “accomplished and brilliant” wives in future - and from now on, Democrat candidates’ feminist or racist wives are fair game.

It’s an admission that his wife is a wild-card and a real issue. He is laying the ground work now for his supporters and the MSM to declare for the general election that attacks on his wife are “mean-spirited” and out-of-bounds. It is just pre-emption on his part.

WRKO’s Reese Hopkins is talking about a video tape of Michelle Obama in the pulpit at Trinity Church laying it into “Whitey”. He said he got an e-mail from DFU’s partner in Hillary Uncensored about it and said Hillary is supposed to use this as a smoking gun October Surprise, but I also found a link that says the GOP has a copy as well. Anybody know more than I do?

News flash, Barry...Your wife is giving speeches for you. She’s entered the political arena. If she makes inflammatory statements expect them and her to be scrutinized. That’s how it works here. If you don’t like it, tell her to shut up or step down and let Hillary take the nomination.

Barack Obama telling people to “Lay off his wife” is like when Hamas sets up a rocket launching site next to an elementary school, and then demands that the IDF not shoot back, lest there be civilian casualties.

The guilty party is Michelle Obama, because she is launching the unfair attacks in the first place.

Anyone think there is a direct connection bewteen Michelle’s high dollar “job” and her husband pushing for a grant for that same hospital.
Also- How does Michelle get to hold such a “job” and still be all over the country with her hubby?

I never had an employer that would allow me that kind of latitude. As far as I know she is an employee—not a consultant.

Exactly.

There is much more behind the scenes with both of these America hating persons of color, and I only hope it all comes out before voters do their job in November.

Both of them make the hair on my neck crawl, and I cannot shake the feelings of deception they both show me.

Obama says Michelle loves this country...she loves this country but has never been proud of it in her adult life?

If she is not supposed to be an issue, Hussein, you should never have sent her out on the campaign trail campaigning for you, making speeches about you. Now, you have made her fair game...as well she should be given her views. Her views confirm what many of us have already figured out.

Maybe with her an issue more people will figure out just what the two Obama's really represent.

It's change alright...but not change the vast majority of us ever want to see inflicted on this nation or its people.


AUDACITY OF TRUTH-BARACK NEVILLE HUSSEIN CHAMBERLAIN OBAMA


Barack Hussein Obama is the very apex of the anti-American, internal enemy in this country. IMHO, his election as President would be the greatest coup an enemy has ever scored against our nation, and could well turn into the greatest disaster this nation has ever faced.

Barack Husein Obama has demonstrated that he has no balls. Barry is a racist, and so is his wife. Barry is unfit and lacks the experience to even preside over a kennel. Any two bit despot would have Barry's ass in a sling.

Even left leaning McCain would have been kicked to the curb months ago if he was so tainted. If McSane can't beat this wimp, he should be sent home...and fired.

“...(”community affairs” for a Chicago hospital)?”

Right, AND covering salaries for do-nothing jobs like that are exactly the kind of gratutious expenses that perpetually increase the cost of health care in this country!!! Figure it out for yourself... that is a lot of money for a person who does NOTHING to make people well!

As you probably know, she received a 2-3x increase in salary once Obama gained membership on some committee that could essentially either funnel cash this hospital’s way or make things easier for them.

An illustrative example of the mechanism whereby wholly non-productive and talentless, unaccomplished bureaucrats and politicians get rich in this country.

Time for a reality check, Hussein ObamaMessiaHamas:

1. When you run for the highest office in America, you don’t get to set the tone of the discussions and set the limits about what is said about you, and you have an open field with your opponents to say any lies you want to say.

2. When you send your millionaire, loud mouthed, Black racist, spoiled America Hating B$tch of a wife out to knock America, the other candidates and to campaign for you. She becomes a legitimate target of how America feels about her and her bitter comments about America.

3. Last but not least, when you say this bs about leaving your Bitter wife out of the campaign, there must be something really bad that she has done. So are you trying to preempt the disclosure of what else she has done, said or worse?

Put some ice on it and stop your whining, you thin skinned elitist bastard!

Or should we say: “ Stop your Whining, you thin skinned Elitist Liberal Sweetie Bastard?
