BO complains to Glamour [1] magazine about the media treatment of his missus:
SENATOR OBAMA: It’s infuriating, but it’s not surprising, because let’s face it: What happened was that the conservative press—Fox News and the National Review and columnists of every ilk—went fairly deliberately at her in a pretty systematic way…and treated her as the candidate in a way that you just rarely see the Democrats try to do against Republicans. And I’ve said this before: I would never have my campaign engage in a concerted effort to make Cindy McCain an issue, and I would not expect the Democratic National Committee or people who were allied with me to do it. Because essentially, spouses are civilians.
Carol Platt Liebau, Townhall [2] tries to explain the facts of poliical liife to BO:
As long as Michelle Obama campaigns and acts as a surrogate on the trail — not to mention providing interviews to kissy-kissy outlets like Entertainment Tonight [3] and Access Hollywood [4] — she is fodder for commentary and, yes, even criticism. Properly so
Mean while, as Amanda Carpender, Townhall [5], reports, BO’s hired stooge, Jamal Simmons, is attacking Mrs. McCain. Simmons is DNC employee and the DNC is subsidiary of the Obama campaign.
Like B.J. Clinton, BO says one thing, while he does another. With the Clintons it was the politicals of personal destruction. They disavowed it while they practiced it.
Unlike B.J. Clinton, BO is not even waiting to get elected before he starts breaking his campaign promises. If BO won’t keep his promise not to attack the canidate’s family, there no reason to expect him to keep any other campaign promise he may happen to make.
Addendum:
More, Michelle [6]:
Yep, he’s whining to Glamour magazine [1]-the print equivalent of, oh, Access Hollywood, about us meanies who listen to his bitter half [7] on the campaign trail and hold her accountable for her public statements.
Curses on us!
Gee, maybe we were mistaken when we thought BO sent his missus out to campaign for him because he wanted us to listen to her and respect her as woman of substance. So sorry.
