I, I think that, ahh, you know, I -- a lot of the stuff that has made me angry hasn't directly come from the McCain campaign. I mean, I, I do think that there is a -- there is a Republican or rightwing -- media outlet-- set of media outlets that went after my wife for a while in a way that I thought was just completely out of bounds. And -- and I, you know, frankly I-- you know, I would have never considered or expected my allies to do something comparable to the spouse of an opponent. ... I just feel like family is -- are civilians. And they don't sign up for this stuff. They support their -- their spouse. But generally, you know, they're really -- should be bystanders in this process, even if they're campaigning for you. You know, they're saying nice things about -- about their -- their, in this case, their husbands. I mean, that's what you expect. And-- and that doesn't make them suddenly targets.

At least he had the modicum of decency to acknowledge -- in passing -- that it wasn't the McCain campaign that made a controversy of her outrageous remarks.

where was obama when they attacked cindy mccain? the only reason he did not out right blame the mccain team is because that would leave him open to be blamed for the times’ hit piece on cindy. there is a reason he dont want michelle involved. her associations probably stink more than his. she should have been vetted too.
