That right wing publication, The New Yorker, has got to be at the top of the list.

ABC News' Jennifer Parker reports: Presumptive Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., said conservative criticism of his wife, Michelle, infuriates him.
"I don't have a thick skin when it comes to criticism of my wife," Obama told the women's magazine Glamour in an interview to run in the magazine's October issue. "And you know, the problem is that rarely do these folks have the guts to say it to your face."
Obama, who is vying for the support of women voters who flocked to Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign during the primaries, argued his wife and Clinton have been the target of similar conservative attacks.
"Hillary Clinton was subject to this, others have been subject to this in the past," Obama told Glamour editor -in-chief Cindi Leive Wednesday, "It is part of our political environment that I'd like to change."
Asked whether he blamed Sen. John McCain's campaign for the attacks, Obama said, "I wouldn't say the McCain campaign itself, but I would say that the apparatus of conservative columnists, blogs and the like.

Your wife is a kook.
Have a nice day.
Hey, buddy. You put that bigot up there in front of the microphone.
Great, we found something that infuriates Barry.
Maybe if we can get the Iranians to insult Michelle, Barry will get mad at them too.
Hey, Barry...let me tell you to your face....well, both of them.
This is from the guy who won't participate in any town halls with McCain. Unbelievable.
She sticks her nose into the debate - folks want to punch back. Sounds like a natural law of physics to me.
That right wing publication, The New Yorker, has got to be at the top of the list.
He also refuses to campaign at a single military base. His campaign has refused repeated attempts from organizers at Ft. Hood.
Hussein and his wife are both cowards.
Me bets no do.
Sorry Barry, she gets to say her piece - I get to say mine.
When she opens her yap, she’s free game. America doesn’t want another two for the price of one presidency. Deal with it, Barry!
Boo fricken Hoo. Put a muzzle on the ugly wench and she will be left alone obummer.
> “And you know, the problem is that rarely do these folks have the guts to say it to your face.” <
Yet you cower when faced with a single question of campaigning together in Iraq with McCain and even the townhall meetings...
IF you can;t even simply agree to that...WHO;S THE COWARD?
Whaaaaa! we are being victimized! Whaaa!
The man is a complete puss
Hey Barry, if you don’t want you wife to be a target, then make her stay home in the kitchen. If she’s going to be out campaigning for you, she’s going to be a target, period, end of discussion.
It's a refinement of Hillary's VRWC gambit.
Well Obamayomama; your wife, the fruitcake, climbed into the ring of her own free will. Now she’d better take the punches like the man you aren’t.
BTW Obamayomama; who are your parents, and where & when were you born? If you’re too scared to answer, maybe you should send your wife to the microphone.
I don’t give a Rat’s Ass about his hate filled wife.
It is his Marxist excuse for an elected official that I care about.
Wonder when da beast is going to whoop out the whitey video on el magic negroid......yuck yuck yuck!
and has a do-nothing job for $320K a year thanks to your pork for the U of Chicago.
Bite it Obumble.
Dear Barack,
You don’t want your wife “attacked”? Then tell her to stop her “I Am A Victim” tour. Have you heard the things she says?

Can you read this? I'm talking to you - I will tell you any time, any place. You are a shill and a FOOL!
You wife is worse than YOU are. She is downright unpatriotic and should be ashamed to even appear in public!
Is there any part of this that you don't understand?
You and your wife are evil.

Why bother with the monkey when you can challenge his organ grinder (ow bad image!)
If you mean that, then drop out or divorce Angela...er, Michelle. Now, there's some change we can live with.
So in this New Yorker cover is the artist saying that Michelle has a weak bladder?
That Depends.
Just try me, Hussein.
{Shrug} I'll do it.
In fact, he's coming to my neck of the woods here soon. I'll be happy to tell him to his face what I think of him and his anti-American wife.
And what is it with Democrats saying "you know" all the time?
In buttressing his wife repeatedly he’s engraciating himself to the last of the Hillary’s spurned female supporters.
Then tell your wife to stop insulting us if you don’t want a response. She has attacked and demeaned our country just as you have - if she wants to say those things then we shall respond, dear Senator. Deal with it. There’s an old saying - if you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen.
Well well, Obambi, YOU don’t have the guts to hold the series of “town hall” meetings with McCain you said you were so eager to do..... YOU don’t have the guts to hold any unscripted spontaneous debates anywhere, because you know that what made you is having a speech and a teleprompter to follow.
As for your obnoxious wife, she’s out there saying that you will “make [us] work” and telling us everything that’s wrong with the America that she was never proud of before this year.... so, yeah, that witch is “fair game” as the saying goes.
Okay Obama — just as soon as you muzzle the bitch and keep her on a shorter leash.
As long as the woman stands up in public and campaigns for her husband, she is fair game for commentary. She makes one controversial statement after another...... but we are not ‘allowed’ to respond? Baloney!
As far as I can see, the ‘attacks’ (so-called by Obama) on fair Michelle have been in direct response to the garbage coming out of her mouth. Again, fair game.
If Mr. Obama wants to protect his spouse, he should direct her to stay OFF the campaign trail. I wonder if he could do this, even if he wanted to. She doesn’t seem to be a meek and ‘obedient’ type of woman.
In the meantime this woman’s statements need to be challenged. When we hear her speak, we are getting a glimpse in to the mind and thinking of Obama as well. And it ain’t a comforting sight.
I don’t expect ‘our’ candidate, or his surrogates, to really come after her with any kind of conviction. Wouldn’t be ‘civil’ enough for him. But someone HAS to. Thank God for the internet and places like Free Republic!

Hey, idiot, we're criticizing your wife's words, not your wife per se. If that bothers you, then maybe you should think twice about using her as a campaign spokesman.
"And you know, the problem is that rarely do these folks have the guts to say it to your face."
You seem to suffer from the same problem jackass. If you had anywhere near the integrity that you imply here, you'd be making these statements directly to those people. The bottom line is, if that bitch you call a wife criticizes my country, then she's fair game for criticism herself. If that doesn't sit well with you, then too bad.
What does he mean they don’t have guts to say it to their faces... What does he think these “blogs” are doing? My bet is that if a person did approach her and accuse her of the truth that indeed she is racist, you’d never get close enough to say it before our great men in the Secret Service did their job and put you out on your butt for trying to approach her in the first place. Does Obarfma ever think these things through?
Simple solution: Tell her to sit down and shut up.
You know, they're like ... you know, those single digit IQ Valley girl types ... who need a nanny goobermint to tell them which pot to piss in.
I’ll say it to your face, Barry. What are you going to do about it? Nothing. Because you’re the biggest pussycat, minus the cat, running for president since Franklin Pierce.
Isn’t Barry scared of debating McCain because he knows that McCain will school him big time!
Tell your wife to stand on the sidelines, and smile or wave occasionally to the camera and we won’t say one word about her.
Put her in front of a cheering crowd, have her give interviews and make policy statements - and accept whatever criticism comes with that.
Foreign policy based on Michelle’s bad manners.
Tell your wife Michelle to shut up so you can debate.
McCain is waiting at Fort Hood.
Anytime or Anyplace...right?
