I think this is a comparison to Joe the Plumber asking a simple question to which he gave an answer that included sucking his own toes. He really put his foot in his mouth with this one. First news conference and he is insulting an 87 widow of a former president. Really fitting considering his family was “off limits”

The sophistication and polish are a very, very thin veneer over his basic immaturity and narcissism.

It’s just unbelieavable that he would say anything so undiplomatic.

Oh, well, that’s the other people’s problem.......I didn’t vote for him.

But he’s a scoundrel for talking about a presidential spouse in that way. Very unpresidential.

Hey, do we have an Obama watch thread with all the mistakes he makes on it?

I don’t think he meant to be malicious.

You don't have to mean to be malicious when you are naturally malicious. It just comes out. And there will be many more examples in the coming, most corruption administration in the history of America. It is the Chicago way.

Lynn Sweet = reporter (oh, 'scuse me, "journalist") who asked the question that got the Zero into trouble. (RTNA)

Wrigley = world's largest manufacturer of chewing gum, founded in the 1890s in, surprise, Chicago.

Wrigley Building = city landmark, anchor of Michigan Avenue's "Magnificent Mile" (cf. http://www.wrigley.com/about_us/the_wrigley_building.do).
