Yes, Barack Hussein Obama is whining AGAIN - from one of his largest propogandists:
Senator Barack Obama blamed the right-wing media for attacks on his wife, Michelle, that have driven up her negative ratings.
In an interview (http://www.glamour.com/news/blogs/glamocracy/2008/07/barack-obama-ta.html) with Glamour magazine , Mr. Obama pointed to “the conservative press — Fox News and the National Review and columnists of every ilk,” and said they “went fairly deliberately at her in a pretty systematic way” and that they “treated her as the candidate in a way that you just rarely see the Democrats try to do against Republicans.”
He suggested that spouses be off limits, calling them “civilians” and saying “they didn’t sign up for this.”]
A survey in late May by the Pew Research Center for People and the Press (http://people-press.org/) found that 22 percent of the public had negative views of Mrs. Obama, while 16 percent had negative views of Cindy McCain, the wife of Senator John McCain, the likely Republican nominee. Both had about the same level of favorable ratings, with 44 percent for Mrs. Obama and 42 percent for Mrs. McCain.
In the interview, to be published in the magazine this fall, Mr. Obama also told Cindi Leive, the editor of the magazine, that his wife is “ironically the most quintessentially American woman I know. She grew up in a ‘Leave it to Beaver’ family.”
News coverage of Mrs. Obama far outweighed that of Mrs. McCain in the first half of the year. The Project for Excellence in Journalism’s Campaign Coverage Index found that in that period, Mrs. Obama appeared as a significant newsmaker in 102 stories while Mrs. McCain appeared in 28 stories.
Another Pew survey last month found that among Republicans, 39 percent had a negative view of Mrs. Obama, while 26 percent of Democrats had a negative view of Mrs. McCain.
“If you start being subjected to rants by Sean Hannity and the like, day in day out, that’ll drive up your negatives,” Mr. Obama told Glamour. He said it was not the McCain campaign itself that was responsible for the attacks but the “apparatus of conservative columnists, blogs and the like.”

Glamour magazine? Now THAT'S a hard news source. Appropriate for him, though.

HAHAHA Gotta love "Democrat English" and "Democrat Logic":
Mr. Obama pointed to “the conservative press — Fox News and the National Review and columnists of every ilk,” and said they “went fairly deliberately at her in a pretty systematic way” and that they “treated her as the candidate in a way that you just rarely see the Democrats try to do against Republicans.
Translation:
Obama: "They ganged up on my wife like we do to every other candidate! But now it's time to scream FOUL! Because they should NOT be allowed to employ the tactics that WE employ!"
He suggested that spouses be off limits, calling them “civilians” and saying “they didn’t sign up for this.”
Oooooo Judges are gonna have to call "shenanigans" on this play Obama... Clue time... you don't want the bitch involved, tell the bitch to get her ass OFF the campaign trail, to STOP making speeches promoting you, and get her ass BACK in the kitchen and make you some more chitlins and pickled pig's feet!
In the interview, to be published in the magazine this fall, Mr. Obama also told Cindi Leive, the editor of the magazine, that his wife is “ironically the most quintessentially American woman I know. She grew up in a ‘Leave it to Beaver’ family.”
Question: Can someone please contact the interviewer and find out if Obama was able to make this statement with a straight face?
a "Leave It To Beaver" family? Yeah, Starring the Reverend Wright as Ward Cleaver, Cindy Sheehan as June Cleaver, also starring Kim Jong Ill as "Wally" and introducing little Michell Robinson as Shelly "Fuzzy Beaver" Cleaver!
News coverage of Mrs. Obama far outweighed that of Mrs. McCain in the first half of the year.
Of course it did! It's called "Affirmative Action", You know, where the black man or woman gets twice as much of everything that a white man or woman gets? What, now you DON'T want "Affirmative Action"? Damnit! Someone get Sharpton on the phone and tell him to gather his Royal Subjects and make up their damn minds!
“If you start being subjected to rants by Sean Hannity and the like, day in day out, that’ll drive up your negatives,” Mr. Obama told Glamour.
For God's sake, why is ANYONE taking Obama seriously? He's doing interviews for GLAMOR MAGAZINE! yeah, now THERE'S a bastion of political genius! I never make a political decision without FIRST consulting GLAMOR MAGAZINE!

I didn't read it with a straight face.

Now here's a picture you might not want to imagine.....June(Cindy) saying to Ward(The Rev Wright) "Don't you think you were a little hard on the Beaver last night?":thumb:.......:smirky:.......:evilgrin:

Glamor Magazine's new add campaign:
"Glamor Magazine - Our mission is to bring political discussion to people who are too stupid to follow politics and should NOT be voting! Namely, our subscribers!
Hmmm... "massive right wing conspiracy," anyone?

We are going to have a pair of professional victims in the White House.
A thin-skinned, humorless, skinny wimp with a wife prone to venting her nasty, angry attitude about being a victim.
He's too chicken to meet McCain in a Townhall meeting, yet pretends that he is willing to fly to Tehran to make nice with Ahmandinijad ...
Yeah, right.

The right was doing everything it could to get Hillary out of the picture. What on earth could have possessed it to attack Michelle?
Answer: She gave it the fuel herself.

Hey, HUSSEIN. If you don't people to "attack" your wife, tell the Black Mamba to STFU and stop proselitizing.
Trust me. She will vanish into obscurity. Where she belongs.

Well, Senator Osama, if you don't want your wife attacked by the press, tell her to be quiet. It was SHE who said "for the first time, I am proud to be an American." A true American is always proud.
Practice what you preach. If she didn't sign on to your campaign, tell her to stay home or deal with the media.

If you're going to use your wife to make campaign speeches, if she's going to make statements like how ashamed she has been of America all her life until now that her husband/political investment is now the presumed nominee, you can't put her under a glass dome with velvet ropes around her so no one can criticize her...
We are treating her EQUALLY like we would any political activist who opens her big mouth and vomits the contents of her empty brain in public... I thought you were all about EQUALITY, Obama... Or do you want us to treat her like some kind of Donna Reed housewife?
Obama is acting like some spoiled kid who is incapable of socially interacting with other kids - When he starts to lose at the game, he wants to change the rules so he wins all the time...
This punk is pathetic - He's a small-time operator who won his Senate seat because of the low intelligence of his constituents... Up until now he thought politics was shmoozing with all the proper radical Leftists, making pretty speeches, and being involved in community socialist activism... He has overeached his capacity and is now reaching for the Whitehouse in the REAL WORLD where they fight real wars and real people really die... If he doesn't have a prepared statement or a teleprompter, he's a mental and verbal cripple...
God I would have loved to have seen Fred Thompson opposing him for this election... It would be a bloodbath... It would be a replay of the Reagan/Carter debates...

Well, one good thing, he's "transparent". I have him AND his publicist figured out. Look for his next big "political" interview to come to you through "Tiger Beat" or "16 Magazine" where he'll cover all the important issues. Like which one of the Back Street Boys he thought was "dreamy" and what his favorite text message comment is! OMG! R U CREUS?

... his wife is “ironically the most quintessentially American woman I know.Absolutely! Only quintessentially American women say, "... For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.” (Feb 27, 2008)
Fugg you and your ho, Obammunist!
