Has President Obama been listening to a lot of Jimi Hendrix lately? With just under two months to go before Election Day, Obama kicked off the fall campaign season Monday with an aggressive speech targeting Republicans. But it was an off-script moment in the speech that's attracted the most attention, as Obama accused his GOP critics of talking about him "like a dog."

"Some powerful interests who had been dominating the agenda in Washington for a very long time -- and they're not always happy with me -- they talk about me like a dog. That's not in my prepared remarks, but it's true," Obama said during a speech at Wisconsin's Laborfest on Monday.

Watch Obama's remarks (the Hendrix quote is a little more than a minute in, at 1:13):

“Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas” comes to mind.

Lots of black people use dog analogies. So it’s not too surprising. My friends will say “he’s got a bit of the dog to him”, and their wives will say, “doggishness”, when describing a skirt-chaser. Being treated like a dog is common to hear.

More like the security guard at Wally World when SWAT arrives...

Tell me, what is going on?

Everything’s under control, sir.
They are terrorists!

Where?

Them?

He treated me like a dog!

He humiliated me!

What did he do with your dog?

He kidnapped me, Mr. Wally,
but I gotta tell you...

...I had a great time on your rides.

It was the most fantastic
experience I’ve ever had!

Poor, Barky. A canine without cajones. A neutered mongrel. I wish Sarah would chime in but she'll probably let this one pass...too easy.

If the Crosstown Traffic is okay, I plan on going to the range that runs All Along the Watchtower.

I can’t imagine Barry as a Hendrix fan. Seems like something contrived by Axelrod or one of the geek speechwriters to fool people into thinking that Barry is something other than the teleprompter reading automaton that he is. I remember during the Kerry/Edwards campaign there was no creepier sight than watching the duo working the crowd at the end of rallies with Hendrix’s “Fire” blaring in the background. No one wants to “stand next to” Kerry, Edwards or Obama’s fire.

Come to think of it, so does "SOB."
