Good idea. Will someone in the media ask him that?

"If somebody has evidence that myself or Michelle or anybody has said something inappropriate, let them do it.:
"For the first time in my adult life I am really proud of my country."
"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them.And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
That was "inappropriate" enough to disqualify someone from the highest office of this nation.

Frankly, my hope is people dont play this game, Obama said.
All across the playgrounds of my youth, this guy's whining would have been met with, "Tough titty!" a-rock who seine a-bomba didn't have the benefit of a childhood like mine.
I'm so tired of hearing this putz's name.

RUSH: I'm watching the news also at the top of the hour break, and no matter channel I turn to: "Hillary Clinton exiting race on Saturday. Hillary Clinton is going to praise Obama on Saturday. Hillary Clinton getting out," blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's not what's happening here. It is not what's happening. What you've gotta read between the lines... You gotta understand how to understand what a Clinton is saying. She did say that at some event so Saturday that she would "extend..." Let me give you the quote: "extend my congratulations to Senator Obama and my support for his candidacy." Congratulations for what? She doesn't say there, "I would extend my congratulations to Senator Obama on winning the Democrat nomination and I will support his candidacy." She's not saying that. Then she said, "I have said throughout the campaign that I would strongly support Senator Obama if he were the Democrat Party nominee, and I intend to deliver on that promise."
Well, she's admitting he's not the nominee as far as she's concerned. If she was going to acknowledge that he was the nominee, she would say, "I have said throughout the campaign that I would strongly support Senator Obama if he got the Democrat Party's nomination. I intend to deliver on that promise since he is our party's nominee." She didn't say that. Let me go through the two sentences again. Quote, "I will extend my congratulations to Senator Obama and my support for his candidacy." Candidacy for what? And then she said, "I've said throughout the campaign I would strongly support Senator Obama if he were the Democrat Party's nominee, and I intend to deliver on that promise." Parentheses: If he is the Democrat Party nominee. But she's not acknowledging that he is. So you have to look -- as our buddies here at NewsBusters.org, as Mark Finkelstein said -- at what she didn't say. She didn't say, "I lost." She didn't say, "I'm withdrawing from the race and asking my delegates to support Obama."
In fact, she said just the opposite. She's going to ask to hold onto her delegates for now. She's going to hold -- folks, she thinks something's going to drop out there. I'm telling you, the only reason to do this -- well, she may still be angling for veep, but it's amazing how many Democrats don't want her or Bill anywhere near that. No, no, no, no. Now they're talking about Kathleen Sebelius and some other babe, I forget who. Oh, yeah. Janet Napolitano. Any woman but Hillary. So she's going to hold onto her delegates.
She thinks something's about to drop or will drop or something is going to happen. She did not say that Obama won, and she did not say, "He is the nominee." She didn't even say he's the presumptive nominee. She said she will "extend her congratulations," but she doesn't say for what. She pointedly does not say for having won the nomination. So the Drive-Bys and everybody else that's panting over this (panting) are just responding to this in a formulaic way or a template way, but she's playing this really, really close to the vest.

Any video purporting to show Michelle Obama as being a racist would be radioactive, and in the manner that possession of child pornography brands the person who is revealed to have even cursory knowledge of its existence, the possessor is hopelessly corrupted, and absolutely without any chance of redemption.
The Obamas are ABOVE criticism, and anyone who dares to challenge that principle, stands to be so deciminated, as to demolish any chance of engaging in rational discourse on the subject.

To: Michael.SF.
Actually his response reads as a mild reproach not a rip as I would have thought from the headline.Michael, if you have a headline these days it has to have "rip" or "bash" or "attack" in it, even if it isn't accurate. You can't say someone disagrees or criticizes or differs or disputes. That's no fun.

Why does Obama and Michelle remind me of a black Bill Clinton and Hillary? If he wins, it’s the Clinton years all over again - except worse.

I disagree. Obama is nothing like Slick Willy. BJ Clinton was in it for the chicks. Obama, on the other hand, is a real believer.

After hearing that non-answer, any decent newsperson would start digging for that evidence he’s asking for. But our msm are so in the tank for him, I doubt they’ll do it.
To: Free ThinkerNY
Presumably the job of the press is to not to go around and spread scurrilous rumors like this until there is actually anything, an iota, of substance or evidence that would substantiate it.well, how better can the press vet it, moron, than by asking you?
They know if they ask your wife, she might go ballistic.

Michelle Obama: Have you ever used the W-word, Yes or No?
Simple question that deserves an answer.
