Then tell her to shut her mouth.

[boxerblues]

If he going to issue a fatwa against the GOP if they dont layoff?

[Tzimisce]

If she says something stupid, I’m going to comment.

But rest assured - McCain probably won’t say anything.

[svcw]

Lay off my wife...how much can it hurt to be bitched slapped with a limp wrist.

"But I do want to say this to the GOP. If they think that they're going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful. Because that I find unacceptable," he said.

Whatever his wife says in public is ripe for public discourse. If he doesn't like it, he needs to tell his wife to shut-up (that will never happen).

I think can say whatever they want to say about me, my track record,

---

Well that is anything except my middle name, my religion, my pastor, my friends, my flag lapel, my pledge of allegiance, and my ears.

[jennyjenny]

And I find you and your America bashing wife unacceptable. I intend to talk about it as much as I damn well please.

[TUX]

Reason....she’s a flaming socialist, and a race baiting liberal, that cant bring herself to love America.

Wonder where she get that?

[babble-on]

Exactly. She makes constant speeches and campaign appearances. She is part of the campaign, explictly, so she’s open to people judging the merits of what she says in these public fora, and how she says it. I do think my state’s GOP publicity department is doing more harm than good in HOW they make these comments though.

Doing a little pre-emptive defense, eh Bambi?
You are well aware that Michelle is a veritable lightning rod for most voters. Wonder how long her muzzle will remain on her big fat mouth??

[ishabibble]

>>”These folks should lay off my wife,” Obama said in an interview with ABC's “Good Morning America.”<<

Preemptive strike. Methinks the Michelle “whitey” tapes rumour might just be true...

[Edgar3]

Is he going to issue a fatwa against the GOP if they don't layoff?

Now THAT is funny!

[smalltownslick]

“Then tell her to shut her mouth.”

It really is that simple. As long as she is campaigning, making speeches on his behalf, anything she says is fair game.

It’s ironic that early in the campaign, Michelle suggested that if Hillary couldn’t control her husband, how could she be President? Same can be said about Obama.

[Hildy]

The day she stops campaigning for him will be the day the GOP lays off. WE MUST FIGHT BACK. WE MUST FIGHT BACK. I was watching McCain on SNL yesterday, and I’ve gotta tell you, Barack will squash him in debates. Please tell me I’m wrong. God, he look SO OLD.

[elpadre]

“Then tell her to shut her mouth”

Impossible - besides she is and has been an integral part of his campaign. That means everything she says and does is calculated and liable. She has a team of handlers just like he does.

[Big Horn]

Who is he? Just another wimp liberal.

[Obadiah]

Can't mention his middle name, can't talk about his wife, can't suggest he is a Middle East appeaser...Is there anything else off limits to you, Cupcake? Or should I saw, Sweetie?

Obama assumes that because the MSM treats him like a creampuff that everybody else should as well. Get off your high horse, Hussein.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

Unacceptable.
*snort*
He sounds like the boytoy of the Widder Heinz. It’s the majors, Hussein! You don’t get to make the rules, and a First Lady is a member of the team whether you accept it or not. Deal with it.
