On Good Morning America today, Barack and Michelle Obama were talking with Robin Roberts. Barack lets the country know what he thinks about making his wife a campaign issue...

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

You forgot “his ears”.

[OKSooner]

"Who is THEY? Is he referring to white people? "

Yes. Typical white people, of course.

[Miss Didi]

RUSH: With Obama we started out, we couldn't talk about his big ears 'cause that made him nervous. We've gone from that to this: Not only can we not mention his ears...

We can't talk about his mother.

We can't talk about his father.

We can't talk about his grandmother unless he does, brings her up as a "typical white person."

We can't talk about his wife, can't talk about his preacher, can't talk about his terrorist friends, can't talk about his voting record, can't talk about his religion.

We can't talk about appeasement.

We can't talk about color; we can't talk about lack of color.

We can't talk about race. We can't talk about bombers and mobsters who are his friends. We can't talk about schooling. We can't talk about his name, "Hussein."

We can't talk about his lack of experience. Can't talk about his income. Can't talk about his flag pin.

This started out we can't call him a liberal.

It started out we just couldn't talk about his ears.

Now we can't say anything about him.

[Fawn]

Wish that were available.....maybe it will be released in September.....

[Diogenesis]

Hillary’s team has been shopping this around so that
someone else (other than Hillary’s team) will expose it.

[Red Badger]

Methinks he doth protest too much.............

[silverleaf]

He sends his wife out to campaign and then tells everyone she is off limits?

Two idiots for the price of one.

[caseinpoint]

And Michelle is out there to establish Barack’s black bona fides. She has the job of reining in the black vote for this guy who didn’t grow up in the ‘hood like she did. She’s being used in the campaign by her husband so she is properly the subject of investigation and comment by the other side.

[SweetCaroline]

BUMP!

[cricket]

And you know. . .this MO will not change, should Obama become President. It is a 'mind-right' of people on the 'Left'. Their arrogance of power and entitlement predisposes them to exclusivety.

Bill Clinton was the most 'naked of emperors'. But, no question, Obama plans to outdress the 'Emperor Clinton'. . .

. . .and we should well remember that Hillary, as 'WIFE', in the White House, demanded that NO one, look her in the eye. Can only imagine her demeanor, should she return.

[Red Badger]

If you talk about:

- his name....you are racist!
- his pastor....you are racist!
- his upbringing....you are racist!
- the schools he went to as a child....you are racist!
- his resume....you are racist!
- his legislative record....you are racist!
- his wife....you are racist!
- the things he has said....you are racist!

...and if you talk about talking about any of those things....you are racist!..............

[sarasota]

I’m afraid the liberal kool-aid drinkers will agree with Michelle. Another reason to hate America.

[Razmataz]

ROFL... I didn’t have the ‘stuff’ to comment about his ears...but I was sitting here wanting to.
(raised in Hobbs, NM, btw)

[EagleandLiberty]

So let me get it straight...we can’t talk about

- his name

- his pastor

- his upbringing

- the schools he went to as a child

- his resume

- his legislative record

- his wife

- the things he has said

Yup...that is certainly CHANGE! Yes, I HOPE that the USA will CHANGE -- and tell him and the DEMS that their CHANGE was not the HOPE Americans were looking for!

[socialismisinsidious]

Would it cost him the Democrat nomination? Interesting that Hillary has not given up despite it being obvious that Obama is the nominee...what is up her sleeve? A video perhaps?

[libs_kma]

I wonder if it's trueand such a video exists. It would make sense because he has to know that if sh'e on the stump talking for him, ANYTHING she says is fair game.

It may be a weak attempt at a pre-emptive strike.

Can't wait to see if its true, but I think if the Beast had it we would have seen it months ago. Even though she gets hammered for going negative on a dim, she still has plenty of toadies who could and would release it.

[RexBeach]

I reminds me a Winston Churchill story, which may be a creation of Churchill himself, but here goes.

Churchill was building a brick wall at Chartwell, his country home.

A guest or a staff member said of the wall that it might not be plumb. Churchill, reputedly, turned to him and said “anyone can see what’s wrong; but can you see what’s right!”

Mr. Obama NEVER seems to say anything good about America. His wife sure doesn’t.

And what’s the deal on this so-called video tape showing Mrs. Obama ranting a la Rev. Wright about America?

Anyone out there know if this is a legend or does the tape truly exist?

[frithguild]

Hey - Hey
You - You
Get off of my Cloud!

"On Good Morning America today, Barack and Michelle Obama were talking with Robin Roberts."

Hey Barack. Some advice. If you don't want the press to talk about your wife, quit putting her in front of the press.

[HamiltonJay]

The guy is a bush league shrub, he’s captialized on anti-hillary sentiment within the democratic party, and liberal white guilt among limosine liberals, he is completely out of his league and is going to be pasted in November if he’s the nominee.

He can keep trying to play the victim and get indignant every time he gets questions about his associations, but it won’t play to the mainstream, because they all know.. you judge a man by the company they keep, and the company this guy keeps are racists, criminals and communists.
