Oh, I almost fell off my chair laughing when I read this quote from Barack Obama.
“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.”
Sounds exactly like what Barack Obama and the Democratic Party have done with John McCain… of course, they’ve gone further, deliberately twisting McCain’s words, evening splicing sentences together to alter the meaning.
Obama praised his wife’s patriotism and said that for Republicans “to try to distort or to play snippets of her remarks in ways that are unflattering to her I think is just low class … and especially for people who purport to be promoters of family values, who claim that they are protectors of the values and ideals and the decency of the American people to start attacking my wife in a political campaign I think is detestable.”
I guess Obama finds himself and his own party detestable.
UPDATE, by Mark Noonan: Advice to Mrs. Obama – if you don’t want to catch any political flack, then don’t make any political statements outside of generalised support for your husband. You want to be in the political kitchen? Then get used to the heat…
