There is nothing wrong with using what his wife says on the campaign trail so long as what she said was what was really intended and not distorted by assholes to make her look bad.

I hope Obama takes notes and gets revenge when he's President. The wages of turds is flushing.

new rules, you can only use her words if they reflect positively on Obama. :roll:
Yes, the new politics of revenge to all those who speak ill of Michelle.

I thought candidate's spouses were supposed to be fair game? Why are you so thin-skinned?

Anyway, Cindy does have a history of drug addiction, including stealing drugs from her own medical charity to feed her addiction.
And she has been active in her husband's campaign.

there are differences between fair criticism, taking things out of context and twisting them to suit your needs, and just making shit up.

Anyway, Cindy does have a history of drug addiction, including stealing drugs from her own medical charity to feed her addiction.
And she has been active in her husband's campaign.

Obama is the only one in the race with a history of using cocaine, and it's about as relevant as Cindy McCain's pain killer addiction 20 years ago (which is to say, not at all).

And you're basing this off... what? A hunch?

Sorry, but this board of late has been full of Obama bashing, and yet none of it seems to have any substance. Your post here is a mild example that ironically represents it in a big way.

As it appears you haven't been paying attention to national politics lately, I think you should know that the GOP just lost a special election in the "reddest" Congressional district in Mississippi. And that after the party dumped $3 million of its cash on hand in the election Text

Corny's half-hearted bet tells you how much he actually believes what he posts.

1.i think this country is more racist/prejudice than people would like to admit.
2. he's Liberal or percieved as such.
3. Significant support for Hillary very late in the game, if he's the Dems all star then why are the Dems so split? That trepidation doesnt translate well in the big game.

Sure you can. Just let me know when you come up with something more intelligent (and less Orwellian) than repeating "empty suit," "demagogue," and "ideologue" over and over again.

It's kind of like how the OP is calling Obama "thin-skinned" for speaking out against attacks on his wife. Next thing you know, you guys will be attacking Obama for being a white female.

Michelle Obama is fair game, as is Barack's lack of substance.

You fail to understand that in order to know if somebody has substance you have to have some yourself.

I'll take that bet.

I'll give him 2-to-1, but he'll have to keep track of it, as I probably won't even bother to collect.
