General Sun Tzu wrote 2500 years ago that if an opponent is oversensitive (e.g. to personal insults) you can goad and enrage him into doing something stupid. The Art of War cites a case in which a general sent his opponent a full chamber pot instead of the customary gift. The opponent let his temper get the better of him, and allowed his rage instead of his judgment to guide his decisions. The results were predictable. It seems like the way to stop Obama is to focus more attacks on Michelle Obama, as shown by the following.
If they [Republicans] think that they’re going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful, because I find unacceptable the notion that you start attacking my wife or my family.–Barack Obama
Michelle Obama is an issue in this campaign just as Hillary Clinton’s spouse is an issue. Some Democrats are attacking Cindy McCain just for being a multimillionaire, while Elizabeth Edwards (whose personal character makes her more suitable for public office than her husband) was a positive asset for John Edwards’ campaign. Anyone who participates materially in a political campaign is a legitimate target for campaign-related criticism so, if they can’t take the heat, they should stay out of the kitchen. Michelle Obama can’t express contempt for our country–a contempt that Barack Obama shares as shown by his refusal to respect our National Anthem–by saying she has never been proud of the United States until her husband ran for President, and then expect nothing to be said about it. She can’t write a senior thesis that reinforces a very comprehensive picture of Barack Hussein Obama as a Black Nationalist and very possibly a racist, and then expect it not to become an issue.

Michelle Obama is a classless black racist. Period.
Make no mistake, any Jewish or African American president will be a front for their wives.
I don't mean to trivialize the overbearing intensity of Italian women, but they're minor league compared to the above.
Hard to think of Mrs. Obama as First Lady of the United States, but the Dims are energized, the Pubs are demoralized, and all the momentum points toward victory for the Magic Negro.
Outspoken, strong-willed, opinionated spouses make themselves an issue, be they male or female.
In his attempt at appealing to women in "protective husband" mode, is he suggesting Michelle can't take care of herself? Michelle, the Harvard grad??? I don't buy it.
Man,that is some of the most stereotypcal comments I have ever read regarding the styles of black and Jewish women!
Its also some of the most ACCURATE comments I have ever read as well!
If the most damaging thing we can do is say that his wife is a liability, then we don’t have much to say. Anyone who would vote against him because of what his wife says would vote against him anyway.
It’s an issue. We saw what co-President Hillary was like, do we really want another one in office?
She should be above reproach. There should be no controversy, not because he says “hands off”, but because there is nothing controversial.
Examples: Laura Bush (absolute class act), Nancy Regan (only “issue” was a little astrology on the side)
And the Clinton’s multi-millions locked away in “foundations”. Probably tax-exempt at that.
So, this sounds like some sort of threat - does anyone here have any idea what he has in mind for all of us if we continue to make Michelle an issue in this campaign? In other words, if we are not careful, what's going to happen to us?
As an aside - a cartoon this week relating to Bush's terrorist appeasers remarks has Bush talking to reports, stating......
Whao!.......Barack up a minute.....Hussein I'm talking about Obama?
Re: “If the most damaging thing we can do is say that his wife is a liability, then we don’t have much to say. Anyone who would vote against him because of what his wife says would vote against him anyway.”
Read the article. A single piece of a jigsaw puzzle doesn’t mean much by itself but, when you put it together with the others, you get a complete picture. Michelle Obama’s thesis is CONSISTENT with her husband’s Black Nationalism and racist associations.
God made em in the same batch of brew.
That's because Michelle HAS a mouth, and a Big One.
As for Barack--he'll do the rest! Make sure he get lots of coverage too!
Huessien is 50% black, Michelle is 200% black.
I would bet that, behind closed doors, the Democrats are in full panic mode over these two over-educated fools.
Michellllllllle! Dum-bellll!
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blahBLAH!
Blahblahblahblah!
I’ve seen it several time; Michele quoted as not being proud of America until Barack ran for president.
Why is that? Any natural citizen over 35 (?) years old can run for President. Will she be proud of America if he runs and loses? Wonder why she wasn’t proud of American when Condi Rice was named S.O.S? Colin Powell? Clarence Thomas?
I think she is more than just racist.
I see an Ivy League version of Cynthia McKinney. Crazy like the outhouse rat to boot.
At least Marge Simpson is obedient. When I tell my wife to “beer me”, she says “go beer yourself”!
The only reason he said it is because she got on his ass about how a REAL brother would stand up for his woman.
