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."

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.

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? "

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.
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 !!
