Obama disavowed his campaign’s first response, telling journalists that “I think that, uh, you know, campaigns start getting these, uh, hair triggers and, uh, the statement that Joe and I put out reflects our sentiments,†he said.
The latest disavowal of his staff’s comments on his behalf or in his name continues a tactic Obama employed repeatedly during his contentious battle with Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination.
When confronted about a campaign memo during the primary that criticized Clinton’s ties to India, referring to her as “D-Punjab,†Obama called it “a screw-up on the part of our research team†and said “it was stupid and caustic.â€
And when the late Tim Russert asked Obama at a Las Vegas debate about his campaign’s efforts to push the storyline that Team Clinton was stoking racial tensions, Obama said “our supporters, our staff, get overzealous. They start saying things that I would not say.â€
But, he added, “it is my responsibility to make sure that we're setting a clear tone in our campaign.â€
Obama’s penchant for publicly rebuking his staff stands in sharp contrast to his declarations about how important they are to his management strategy, as well as the all for one, one for all mentality that he encourages in them.

Obama threw his own grandmother under the bus when it suited him politically. He's a snake of the lowest kind. How anyone can find him trustworthy, I have no idea.

Top notch help you got there, Barry.
On charges that his campaign has stoked the (Palin) story via liberal blogs:
"I am offended by that statement. There is no evidence at all that any of this involved us," he said. "Our people were not involved in any way in this, and they will not be. And if I thought there was somebody in my campaign who was involved in something like that, they would be fired."

and just like LBJ Obama is a crook. You don't go to a low paying job of 'community organizer' one day to a mansion the next day. LBJ was in every scheme imaginable.

LBJ's gift was more in the nature of a very highly developed animal cunning, Obama is not a stupid man at all but he greatly overintellectualizes even simple questions.
