Obama to GOP: Lay Off My Wife

See, sexism isn’t reserved for Hillary Clinton alone. Michelle Obama gets her share of it too, and the Tennessee GOP attack ad is just the beginning. Evidently, Michelle Obama isn’t entitled to speak on her own without it being twisted into the most obscene meanings ever. Barack Obama, during an interview on Good Morning America, said this:

“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.”

Obama later added, “I think that the American people also would like to see some restoration of decency to this process. And when you start attacking family members, there’s a lack of decency there.”

Speaking of family members, it was also revealed during the same interview that the children would be getting a dog. Now.

Michelle Obama actually overruled her husband while on “GMA” when they were asked whether their two daughters had yet to get the dog they were promised.

She said they had agreed to get the dog a year from now, while her husband said they will have “a year to test whether they are sufficiently responsible…”

But Michelle Obama cut him off, sayingy, “They are responsible.”

He tried again by saying “Whether they are going to be responsible in the middle of winter to go walk that dog.”

“We’re getting a dog,” his wife said flatly.

“When it’s cold outside,” Obama persisted.

His wife looked into the camera and said to their kids, “You guys are getting a dog.”

When the presidential candidate again asked who would be walking the dog, the potential first lady replied, “You will. You will all be walking the dog.”

“OK. All right,” Obama conceded.

I wonder how long it will take for some sexist pig to make a big huge deal out of the fact that Michelle Obama overruled her husband on a domestic matter. Remember, it’s conversation like this that was used to marginalize Hillary Clinton during Bill Clinton’s 1992 run for the presidency.

I hope the kids get a dog they absolutely love and cherish for a very long time, too. The press should leave them alone, too. A little respect is in order sometimes.
