That history, along with the country’s affirmative action and political correctness trends, makes me wonder if Obama has ever truly faced criticism or questions about his character and choices before now. He seems to have been treated from way back as some sort of “golden boy”. He is awfully thin-skinned compared to most people who become senators. This may be the first time in his life that the gloves have been taken off (though, truthfully, the pummelling has been pretty mild to this point).

His whining makes me appreciate George Bush’s silence in the face of blistering criticism. I wish he would have spent more of his political capital fighting for conservative issues but thank goodness we were spared the “No fair” whining in which the Clintons and now Obamas indulge. Must be a liberal thing.

Good. Except he looks more manly than Barack. Where’s that emo guy crying about Brittney Spears?

The strangest thing about that story, which I’ve read about before, is that apparently bricklaying was a HOBBY for Sir Winston Churchill, and that he wasn’t the only englishman that did it for pleasure.

Strange people, the English.

bannie to BHO: "No."

Hey, Barack Hussein Obama, we know you you are; but just who do you think you are?

Your "preference cards" have been deflated by your "reverend." Now your wife is sharing in the cutting of your throat.

Handle it like an adult, and quit demanding--in your arrogant "clean&articulate" manner--preferential treatment.

Hey B.O. Hussein! Wakeup, Your wife says awful, disgusting things! and she is NOT TO BE QUESTIONED OR CONFRONTED??
Sounds awful close to a DICTATORSHIP! By the way B.O., just a statement of fact: “ YOU ARE A MUSLIM because Your Father was a Muslim, own up to that fact!”

The more he talks, the bigger fool he becomes. OK, let’s talk about Obama’s connections to Rezko, big oil which contributed to his campaign (Shell, BP, Xexon) and his shabby election to the Chicago Senate a/k/a Rev. Wright and Rev. Jesse Jackson and the “Outfit” a/k/a Chicago Mob. Let’s talk about THAT Obama.

The MSM and Obamas will still blame it on the Republicans.

Obama needs to realize that complaining about the topics discussed in a campaign is a very good way to lose a campaign.

The guy wasn't vetted by the party beforehand.

Supposedly, he was vetted, but he wasn't entirely forthcoming when asked about potential problems related to the divorce. The problem he faced was that, in the heat of a divorce proceeding, his ex's accusations may have been exaggerated or untruthful. It was a classic "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation.

Then she should have kept her big fat complaining mouth shut.
It’s not our fault that he chose a wife who is a campaign liability.

Time for a reality cehck, Hussein ObamaHamas:

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 have an open field with your opponents.

2. When you send your 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 thin skinned Elitist Sweetie?

Boy I can see now that McCain is going to be doing a lot of repudiating.
