Michelle Obama is Fair Game
Los Angeles Times ^ | May 27, 2008 | Jonah Goldberg

'Lay off my wife."

So says Barack Obama about his controversial spouse, Michelle.

The Democratic candidate for the presidential nomination has a grating tendency to dismiss any inconvenient fact as a "distraction" and to label every stinging criticism as "divisive." So even if he didn't have a husband's natural desire to defend his wife, he'd still probably denounce criticism of Michelle as beyond the pale.

Obama's comments came in the wake of a Tennessee GOP ad this month calling new attention to Michelle Obama's remark in February that she'd never in her adult life been "really proud" of America until the nation embraced her husband's hope-and-change campaign.

"If they think that they're going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful," Obama said on ABC's "Good Morning America" last week, "because that I find unacceptable, the notion that you start attacking my wife or my family."

Obama's Auchi Problem

Stuart Levine's testimony on Monday didn't answer that question, but no matter. Levine testified that both Barack and Michelle Obama attended a reception Rezko held at his Wilmette home for Auchi. "News reports from the courtroom said Mr. Rezko wanted to impress Mr. Auchi, who ultimately poured nearly $170 million into the real estate venture," the New York Times reports.

PC liberals don’t want to compete in the real world.

They want their own rules giving them the freedom to do whatever with no judgement while we are entangled with their freedom hating PC rules for us.
