Michelle Obama goes Bubba hunting

by Glenn Thrush

ANDERSON, S.C. -- In a new fundraising e-mail, Michelle Obama slams Bill Clinton, decrying Bubba's "win-at-all-costs tactics" against her husband.

She writes:

In the last week or two, another candidate's spouse has been getting an awful lot of attention.

We knew getting into this race that Barack would be competing with Senator Clinton and President Clinton at the same time.

We expected that Bill Clinton would tout his record from the nineties and talk about Hillary's role in his past success. That's a fair approach and a challenge we are prepared to face.

What we didn't expect, at least not from our fellow Democrats, are the win-at-all-costs tactics we've seen recently. We didn't expect misleading accusations that willfully distort Barack's record.

Barack isn't relying on a former President of the United States to campaign for him.

Please stand up in the face of these new attacks. Make your first online donation of $50 today and own a piece of this campaign.

8. It's Okay....
When Mom says it’s okay for her guy to play second fiddle at the DNC, when Oprah tells her she’s given enough money and TV face time, then they will be an unbeatable team. Until then - the mud will continue to be thrown. This is history in the making. And the Republicans will be blown into the weeds.

7. When is this crap going to end Michelle jabs at Bill, Bill jabs at Obama.

9. Whines about Bill, begs for money, and repeats the Fairy Tale.
With Rezko heading for jail, they'll need all unmarked $50 bills their besotted worshipers can send.
