Obama Warns GOP "Lay Off My Wife"

Sen. Barack Obama ripped into a Republican ad today that targets comments made by his wife, Michelle, and called the GOP tactic "low class" and "detestable."

The senator and his wife discuss the race for the White House. The Illinois senator told "Good Morning America" that he expects hardball tactics from the Republicans if he becomes the Democratic presidential nominee.

"But I also think these folks should lay off my wife," he told "GMA" as his wife chuckled beside him.

Obama told "GMA" that he believes he will win a majority of the Democratic delegates once the votes are counted after Tuesday's primaries in Kentucky and Oregon. Obama is favored in Oregon while rival Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York is expected to win Kentucky.

The Republicans seem to have come to the same conclusion and a GOP Internet campaign in Tennessee has an ad featuring Michelle Obama's comments during the long Democratic campaign that "for the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country."

Michelle Obama was asked about the ad on "GMA," but her husband said, "Let me just interject on this."

"The GOP, should I be the nominee, I think can say whatever they want to say about me, my track record," Obama said. "I've been in public life for 20 years. I expect them to pore through everything that I've said, every utterance, every statement. And to paint it in the most undesirable light possible. That's what they do."

"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.

Michelle Obama's anger at America and white people in general makes her a target especially with her husband running for POTUS....she has not been his best weapon. Her anger and her sense of entitlement that she does not hide causes people to distance themselves from her. She has put her country down and her husband shows his lack of knowledge about “the land I love” by not knowing the geography of the nation or how many states it is made up of. Neither Obamas are worthy of the White House – both are racist, they can’t help it and Barry is not especially bright….he is full of utopian ideas for Utopia and that folks is a far cry from the real world. The Black Messiah was a myth, not even a Magic Negro; the man is an activist with Marxist overtones that even he is unaware of due to his “Ivy League” education…that never was. Michelle threw her hat into the ring along side her husband making them another twofer for the White House.

America, the greatest country in history does not need this couple, estranged from the American culture by their learned hate of and for their country.

"Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed." ~~Michelle Obama, 2008

She sounds just like Mao's wife Jiang Qing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiang_Qing

Jiang Qing was the harpy b!tch from hell, the leader of the "Gang of Four."

WIki: Around the time of Chairman Mao's death, Jiang Qing and her proteges effectively controlled nearly all of China's institutions, including the media and most of the government's central organs. As a result, she is often put in the same rank as Empress Wu Zetian, Empress Dowager Cixi, and other women, as a female ruler of China. However, Jiang Qing's political success was limited, and she was arrested in October 1976 by Hua Guofeng and his allies, and was subsequently accused of being counter-revolutionary. Since then, Jiang Qing and Lin Biao had been branded by official historical documents in China as the "Lin Biao and Jiang Qing Counter-revolutionary Group," to which most of the blame for the damage and devastation caused by the Cultural Revolution was assigned.

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

My feelings exactly. While we're at it, did she also denounce Jeremiah Wright?

Hey, Obamessiah, first, you aren’t Jesus, and second, you don’t get to dictate the rules to anybody. So tell your (racist) wife to keep her big yap shut and keep her away from the microphone if you don’t like it.

so far it appears that McCain in his quest to be a Scoop Jackson Democrat will only reach out to massage Barack and Michelle and offer them chocolates and assure them he has watched Roots over and over with fascination and appropriate worship.

And that if he is sweet and politically correct enough that maybe Barakc will choose him as VP and we can simply forgo the election.

I’m sure when McCain is finished speaking Obama will tell him to lay off the Iranian nutjob.

Time for a reality check, 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?

I disagree with those who say that Mrs. Osama is fugly. She is, to the contrary, a very attractive woman though not a raving beauty.

Does anyone think that Hussein, the ultimate social clymer and politikal opportunist would have chosen an Eleanor Roosevelt to be his helpmate?
