1. K&R

[sasquatch]

2. Never ever drag another man's wife into a conflict

Unless she gets involved.

[yellerpup]

3. Absolutely focus on issues.

And lay off the wife. The Obamas are great together! K&R :kick:

[MethuenProgressive]

4. He's joking, right?

You send a candidate's spouse out to campaign, and you expect "polite" from the opposition?
The way the Obama camp has attacked Bill and Chelsea makes me think this "Lay off my wife" line is a joke.

[The Doctor.]

5. When did the Obama camp "attack Chelsea"?

Why make things up?

[raystorm7]

8. Making things up is what the leftover hardcore HRC supporter does now... thats all they've got =/

[Heather MC]

7. The Clinton's bring that Hell on themselves, The GOP edited Michelle's words that's bull.

Michelle said, "REALLY PROUD" not "for the first time in my life I am proud of my country"

When Hillary lies it's her words, When Bill gets that finger waggling in your face it's his LIES

and I will leave Chelsea out of this.

What the GOP did was false, ignorant and completely unfair. Why didn't they leave the quote unedited?

I will tell you way, taking out the word "Really" changes the meaning and causes people who are too stupid to research the truth to get inflamed.

9. Seconded.

Who attacked Chelsea? It's projection I tell you, projection.

[Chisox08]

13. Obama has never attacked Chelsea

Show me one time when Obama has attacked Chelsea. Now Bill Clinton is another topic because Hillary is using Bill's time in the White House as one of the reasons she should get the nomination and also the feeling that they would be Co-Presidents at one point was also in play.
I have one question for you Methuenprogressive why are you defending a RW smear job against a fellow Democrat?

[cyndensco]

16. Judging from how masterfully Obama's campaign has been run,

with the amazing foresight he and his staff have had, I am sure they were prepared for Michelle's words becoming potential fodder for their opponents. But when has anyone created an ad in response to what a candidate's spouse said?

Thank God, that is the best they have on him...

Oh, and just how did Obama attack Chelsea?

[MethuenProgressive]

19. "masterfully"?

Pay attention.

[cyndensco]

20. I have so paid attention.

His campaign has been masterful. Masterful. His opponent hits, he hits back twice as hard. The Edward's endorsement was masterfully played. Less than 24 hrs. after she won in WV by 41%, we were asking "hillary who?" There are dozens of more examples. His campaign has been MASTERFUL.

[bow-tie]

6. I think the "blonde lizard"

should be attacked for her failing to admit stealing drugs in her past while on Leno.

[butterfly77]

10. Let's talk about the issues..

sorry ass GOP! They don't have anything to talk about because they know they have f------ up this country. They are trying to throw it all on the Dems because they won in 2006. We have plenty of info we have been watching you enablers for years... OK Trolls.

[eagertolearn]

11. What class. Both are such strong real people! n/t

[ryanmuegge]

12. Somebody from our side needs to stand up and VERY forcefully say

"let's talk about some fucking substance for once, ya fucking douche bags." I know we're talking about Democrats here, so expecting somebody to have some balls or courage is unrealistic, but Obama should have just said, "tabloid reporter, I'm not going to talk about these diversions by the corporate elite. We will either talk about substantive policy issues the entire time, or this fucking interview is over. Period."

[midnight]

14. Hillary's spouse,Bill Clinton, was

accused of being racist and Bill explains that Obama's accusation should not be with him, because the facts do not warrant such a claim. Here is a video of Bill talking about how unfounded those claims of racism were.

15. It's the right thing to say and I hope McCain says it too

These aren't commands that anyone must follow, they are simply requests by decent men seeking to protect their wives. Both of these wives have stood up protectively for their husbands in past and I think that's what spouses should do one for the other.

[greiner3]

17. This will open up the attacks from Democratic 527s;

Against cindy. Obama won't have to get his feet wet and besides, the gop has been warned. Or not!

[FrenchieCat]

18. My thinking as well.......

[many a good man]

21. Clip cut off the very end

He reiterated: "In case you're watching: lay off my wife."

I like this guy more and more every day.
