In a statement made by Barack Obama today, he claims his wife Michelle is not subject to any ridicule by the press. Bill O’Reilly softens up on Obama saying that any personal attacks by the media are completely uncalled for. Afterwards, O’Reilly was careful to point out the fact, if you don’t want your wife under ridicule, quit sending her out to be on these talkshows. (In reference to her appearance on The View this week)
Bill, you need to quit being so soft on Obama’s political tactics. He completely made this statement to cover any future flubs Michelle makes when she opens up her big mouth to tell everyone how proud she finally is of her country. Please see my previous post in regard to Obama sticking his wife out on the front line, then telling everyone in the press to lay off of her. Such an ugly game, these politics….we’ve only just begun.

I knew you would write something on this…..Anyway, on The Radio Factor tonight, they were discussing this same issue. A caller brought up the time back in August of 2007 when Michelle made the statement “if you can’t run your household, you can’t run the White House”(i’m not linking to it…just google the quote). Now this was more than likely a shot at Hillary, but when confronted about it, she and Barack both denied it. Hmmmm… You know, I have no problem with the comment…none…but if it were’nt directed at Hillary, then just who was she referring to? Simple question right? I just think that if comments like these appear from her, she should be held accountable for them. Just my 2 cents….
love you babe…
Michelle Obama is fair game to the press. (Don’t faint!) I heard that radio broadcast yesterday as well, and could not believe O’Reilly saying that she isn’t. I think he just wants Barack on The Factor so badly, he will do or say anything. Like you said, we’ve only just begun. (Thanks alot for sticking that song in my head, by the way!) No one gave Cindy McCain a pass when she didn’t want to give up her tax records, and certainly when Bill Clinton was running, Hillary was villified almost on a daily basis.
However, I do like the fact that he sticks up for his wife, he loves her very much and it shows. They seem to have a great family. I think most men would want to defend their wives, because it always hurts more when someone sticks it to a loved one. In this day and age, if you run for office, you have to know that it will be very hard on your family, and that the press will be ruthless.
One more thing, regarding Byron’s comment, I agree Michelle was probably referencing Hillary during that comment she made about running your own household. It was unfair, because no matter what hoochie coochie Bill was up to, I would say she did a great job raising Chelsea, who seems to be a great kid and extremely intelligent. But she could have also been referencing the fact that John McCain is divorced. Who knows?
Great story, by the way. I’m proud that you care so much about this country, and that you are so involved in this process. (Even if we don’t agree most of the time!)
