"The GOP, should I be the nominee, I think can say whatever they want to say about me, my track record," Obama said. "I’ve been in public life for 20 years. I expect them to pore through everything that I’ve said, every utterance, every statement. And to paint it in the most undesirable light possible. That’s what they do."
"But I do want to say this to the GOP. 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," he said.
Obama praised his wife’s patriotism and said that for Republicans "to try to distort or to play snippets of her remarks in ways that are unflattering to her I think is just low class … and especially for people who purport to be promoters of family values, who claim that they are protectors of the values and ideals and the decency of the American people to start attacking my wife in a political campaign I think is detestable."
Seriously, Senator? Do you ever stop whining? Your wife is making herself a public figure, making outrageous statements about this nation that YOU want to be the President of, and her remarks are "off-limits."
See, Senator, you’ve bought into what the media has built for you: That no one should be allowed to criticize anything about you. You want to be President, but you don’t want anyone saying anything that YOU deem "unacceptable." Well, of course, Senator: anything that casts you in a bad light is obviously going to be "unacceptable" to you.
"I think can say whatever they want to say about me, my track record" - You don’t really mean that. Anytime they say anything about you, you whine about it.
Senator, welcome to big-time politics. Yes, we understand its all new to you. After all, you came into this race with absolutely no experience. So we expect you to be a little uncomfortable. But for crying out loud, take it like a man. You degrade President Bush every single day, and I’ve yet to hear him whine about it. Take a cue from him, won’t you?

They can say whatever they want about his track record? Like the fact that he stated he would meet with terrorist leaders and dictators without any preconditions? Like that statement? When he hit the roof about it just last week? Oh yeah…we were supposed to forget that by now.
And what happened to “reaching across the aisle” and being “a unifier, not a divider”? Just curious. He paints the Republicans with a pretty broad brush in those quotes. I guess the hit dog is still howling…
You were saying things more eloquently in your blog than I was able to scream at the TV this morning. Puleeeez! Would this cry baby just grow up and get out of his liberal bubble. Oh, I forgot. He is the “anointed” one. He does not have to get out of his bubble, and live with the rest of us angry, gun-weilding, bible-toting backwoods Americans. The thought that he might be the leader of this nation scares the daylights out of me!
