Obama tells Tenn.'s GOP: 'Lay off my wife'

WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama has a message for Tennessee's Republican Party: "Lay off my wife."
Obama, his party's presidential front-runner, and his wife, Michelle, were asked in an interview aired Monday on ABC's "Good Morning America" about an online video last week by the state's GOP taking her to task for a comment some considered unpatriotic.

"The GOP, should I be the nominee, can say whatever they want to say about me, my track record," Obama said. "If they think that they're going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful because that I find unacceptable, the notion that you start attacking my wife or my family."

He called the strategy "low class."

The video, posted on YouTube, centered on remarks Michelle Obama made while campaigning in Wisconsin last February, when she said: "For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country."

The four-minute video replayed the remark six times, interspersing it with commentary by Tennesseans on why they are proud of America. In a news release that included a link to the video, Tennessee's GOP said "the Tennessee Republican Party has always been proud of America." It urged radio stations to play "patriotic music" during Michelle Obama's visit to Nashville last Thursday.

Michelle Obama later clarified the remark, saying she meant she was proud of how Americans were engaging in the political process and that she had always been proud of her country.

"Whoever is in charge of the Tennessee GOP needs to think long and hard about the kind of campaign they want to run, and I think that's true for everybody, Democrat or Republican," Obama said in the ABC interview, adding: "These folks should lay off my wife."

Well for starters, ain't none of us gonna lay on your wife.   :whatever:

Second, you idiot, if you're going to use your wife in your campaigns, you can expect this in return.  If you can't control what she says, then keep her out of it.

Third, where's your criticism of the DNC attacks on the Bush daughters???

1. What track record?

2. If she inserts herself into the campaign, she's fair game!

3. How long before the Tenn. GOP is called racist, and then pulls the ad?

Note to Barakstar!

Your wife has made HERSELF an issue in this campaign.

If that is unacceptable to you...tell her to STFU and go take care of the kids.

She opens her mouth...she goes out and stumps for you...ANYTHING she says on your behalf is fair game.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

when you hit the campaign trail, you are fair game.  and when you say some of the insane crap that has come out of your
mouth, you make yourself a lightning rod.

When Michelle decides to STFU and park her behind in a chair behind you while you speak, then people will stop taking her to task for the bullshit she spews.

I'm counting down the moments until the Oooobama campaign brings out the KKK, Forrest or some other racist nonsense given that this is Tenn. Oy vey....

did you catch SNL over the weekend? McCain had two spots on it - one where he implored the Democratic Party not to hurry too much to get their nominee.. it was hilarious.

his best line: "Imagine how exciting it will be to NOT know who the nominee is AFTER Denver!" :-)

a LOT of the people that vote in dem primaries agree with the treasonous crap that comes out of her mouth.  let's see how it all plays in the general.  either she does a 180, or the slap a muzzle on her.  or they send her to africa for two months, like they did with the good rev. wright.
