Burt Prelutsky: “Barack sends Michelle out to make speeches and give interviews, but when her words suggest a certain note of bitterness, racism and disaffection for America, Mr. Obama tells us we’re not supposed to take her to task. Well, Senator, if I recall correctly, you also think your spiritual advisor and your good friends, a corrupt lobbyist and an unrepentant terrorist, should be left out of the equation. So, on exactly what basis would you have us consider your qualifications to be our president?”
Why Obama Must Go to Iraq (Pete Hegseth in the WSJ): Obama says these trips are just “stage-managed productions designed to obfuscate, not illuminate. … That Mr. Obama apparently doubts his ability to distinguish spin from reality, and to draw bad news out of subordinates, does not bode well for his possible future as our nation’s chief executive.” And I might add that this is also the person who says he would talk with the leaders of Iran and other thug states, right away, without preconditions. But to meet with Americans in Iraq, he wants preconditions.
