Obama To Tenn. GOP: "Lay Off My Wife"

Democratic Candidate Fires Back At Online Video By State Party Targeting Remarks Made By Michelle Obama

(AP)  Democrat Barack Obamahas a message for Tennessee's Republican Party: "Lay off my wife."

Obama, his party's presidential front-runner, and his wife, Michelle, were asked in an interview aired Monday on ABC's "Good Morning America" about an online video last week by the state's GOP taking her to task for a comment some considered unpatriotic.

"The GOP, should I be the nominee, can say whatever they want to say about me, my track record," Obama said. "If they think that they're going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful because that I find unacceptable, the notion that you start attacking my wife or my family."

He called the strategy "low class."

The video, posted on YouTube, centered on remarks Michelle Obama made while campaigning in Wisconsin last February, when she said: "For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country."

The four-minute video replayed the remark six times, interspersing it with commentary by Tennesseans on why they are proud of America. In a news release that included a link to the video, Tennessee's GOP said "the Tennessee Republican Party has always been proud of America." It urged radio stations to play "patriotic music" during Michelle Obama's visit to Nashville last Thursday.

Michelle Obama later clarified the remark, saying she meant she was proud of how Americans were engaging in the political process and that she had always been proud of her country.

"Whoever is in charge of the Tennessee GOP needs to think long and hard about the kind of campaign they want to run, and I think that's true for everybody, Democrat or Republican," Obama said in the ABC interview, adding: "These folks should lay off my wife."

Obama said his wife "loves this country. For them to try to distort or to play snippets of her remarks in ways that are unflattering to her is, I think, just low class. I think that most of the American people would think that as well."

Tennessee's Republican Party was roundly criticized in March, including by likely presidential nominee John McCain, for a news release that used Barack Obama's middle name — Hussein — and showed a photo of him wearing what it said was "Muslim attire."

The release ultimately was removed from the party's Web site at the urging of the state's two Republican senators and Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan, who said he "rejects these kinds of campaign tactics."

SHE ACTIVELY CAMPAIGNS FOR HIM AND EVEN CUTS HIM OFF IN INTERVIEWS. ITS OBVIOUS SHE WILL HAVE TREMENDOUS CLOUT IN THE WHITE HOUSE. HER OWN WORDS ARE FAIR GAME.

[tcart2]

Can you believe that as proud americans we have let this happen to our country? We are sitting back and letting a black man tied to terrorists, true hatred of white man (racism) to run our country! Oh yeah and then there is his wife who we are supposed to leave alone..... she calls the american public idiots but by all means leave her alone!! This should be interesting if he does become president, How will he be sworn in? He wont salute the flag, he turns his back to it. Come on people, This is America lets take it back!!

[eroosevelt08]

I love the word ''snippet'' and I hope Obama just uses it over and over and over and over. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[eroosevelt08]

Why does Mrs. Obama look angry so much?

[eroosevelt08]

Obama thinks we are all little children that he can pat on the head and we will all agree on things like a herd of sheep. The world does not work that way.

[eroosevelt08]

I am SO TIRED of hearing Obama whine. Where are the solutions? Hillary Clinton offers solutions. Her speeches are interesting and have content. Have you noticed how the people behind Obama on TV when he speaks space out or use their cell phones? Some of them look bored out of their skulls.

[eroosevelt08]

I think what really made Obama mad is that Michelle is a loose cannon that he cannot control. Mrs. Obama is fair game just as Hillary''s spouse is fair game.

No...we hear McBush calling his wife a ****. Classy fellow. Obviously Barack feels his wife is worth coming to her defense and is gentleman enough to do so.

Cindy McCain, how does it feel to be an adulterous whooore! How many other married men did you spread them for?

[briannorwood]

Cindy McCain is an adulterous ***. She was spreading her boney legs for John McCain while he was still married to his wife of 21 years, Carol.

Then, Mr. "family values" McCain went on to bone that lobbyist gal pal lobbyist in the backseat of his "straight lay" express.

Fair Game!

[truthyness]

CBS/AP) Barack Obama was poised to reach a major milestone Tuesday in the Kentucky and Oregon primaries - a majority of the pledged delegates offered in the Democratic presidential contest". YOU MEAN THIS IS "MAYBE", "ONLY THE FIRST TIME" HE HAS HAD a majority of the pledged delegates offered in the Democratic presidential contest???

ONLY THE FIRST TIME????

MAYBE????????!

In other words, *HILLARY IS WINNING* !!!!!

[s7b3]

Barack Hussein Obama I wonder why he is ashamed of his middle name.Michalle is campaigning for Obama therefore it is open season on what she has to say. Obama thinks he can say something and people and the GOP will just be so scared of his words they will not use Michelles speaking about she is now proud of her country for the first time in her adult life. Obama will lose in the general election. He will not be elected by Blacks and elitists. He will need the blue collar and working class votes and he will not get them. The DNC thinks the party will be united in November but this will never happen To much damage has been done. Democrat that will vote for McCain.

[agog2]

This is scary. Obama is sponsoring bill S2433 in the US senate. If passed, Obama''s bill will commit America to pay 845 Billion dollars to the UN over the next thirteen years for the UN Global Poverty Act. This money can only come from more taxes being levied on American citizens. Obama''s S2433 Senate bill will consume 0.7 percent of the US gross nation product.The UN Global Poverty Act also commits signing nations to ban their citizens from possessing small firearms. Goodbye second amendment. It also put''s parental right''s under UN supervision. Barack Obama is a global Marxist who wants a one world government that will be UN ran. Are you ready to pay even more sky high taxes and give up your national sovereignty for Obama''s change? Stop Obama''s madness, call your senator and demand that Obama''s bill S2433 be killed. Look the bill up on the web...

Barack Obama Admits That He%u2019s A Muslim Apostate

Interesting%u2026

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Sunday he does not think voters have a litmus test on religion, whether evangelical Christianity or his childhood years in the Muslim faith.

%u201CIf your name is Barack Hussein Obama, you can expect it, some of that. I think the majority of voters know that I%u2019m a member of the United Church of Christ, and that I take my faith seriously,%u201D Obama said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Being an atheist, I%u2019m more concerned about what Obama%u2019s tax policies would be rather than what brand of religious mythology he buys in to, but Charles Johnson brings up a good point related to foreign policy:

Now that the Associated Press has given this fact their blessing, it does raise a rather uncomfortable question for a man who wants to be the commander in chief of the United States. The penalty under well-established shari%u2019a law for apostasy%u2014leaving Islam%u2014is death. How would the world%u2019s 249 gazillion Muslims react to having an American president who is also a Muslim apostate?

Who knows.

Is it possible for them to hate us more than they do already? "

"Obama has said, on public record, that there are 57 states. I wonder what else he doesn''''t know about this country he wants to preside over.

Posted by barbaraf4 at 10:40 PM : May 19, 2008"

Read this if you want to know what he was actually thinking in the back of his deceitful mind:

The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is an international organization with a permanent delegation to the United Nations. It groups 57 Islamic nations, from the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia, Caucasus, Balkan, Southeast Asia, South Asia and South America.


There''s the 57 states ol'' Barry is concerned about.

[sear1ngtruth]

If Barry can''t stand it when his wife gets criticized, he needs to lock her in a shed and tell her when she can and can''t talk.

Oh, my mistake, they outlawed SLAVERY decades ago.

If she is going to talk to reporters, strut for the cameras, campaign for him, and give interviews, Barry needs to shut the fvck up.

If he can''t take the heat, or if his wife can''t take the heat, he''s put in an application for the wrong job.

President? My a$$. I wouldn''t count on whiners like him to drive a taxi, let along lead this nation.

Russia and China: Hold Joint Military Exercise
The Associated Press Published: August 17, 2007


CHEBARKUL TESTING RANGE, Russia: President Vladimir Putin said Friday he had ordered strategic bombers to resume regular Long-Range Patrols as Russian & Chinese Forces held their 1ST Joint Military Exercise on Russian soil.

NOTE: A show of Armed Muscle Aimed at Sending a Pointed Message to the.... United States.

The resumption of bombing patrols, which analysts say signaled a significant change for Russian military policy, comes amid a growing chill in U.S.-Russian Relations, strained over Washington`s criticism of Russia`s democracy record, Moscow`s objections to U.S. Missile Defense Plans and Differences over Global Crises.

Both Moscow and Beijing share a Heightening Distrust of what they see as the United States` Oversized Role and Influence in Global Politics, and the two former Cold War rivals have forged a "Strategic Partnership" aimed at Counter Balancing Washington`s Policies.

There were several Other Asian Countries Involved in those Joint Excercises..also !!
