Obama’s wife swipes at Palin again

While talking at voters yesterday, Michelle Obama – wife of Democratic presidential hopeful Barack “Barry” Obama – warned voters not to vote for someone because “I like that guy” or, “she’s cute.”

When asked whether she was targeting Alaska governor and GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin with that comment, Michelle replied that she had meant to reference herself with that comment.

One problem there: Michelle’s not on any ticket herself, so her rationalization doesn’t hold water. It was a Palin swipe, like it or not, and you don’t need cell phone amplifiers to hear that signal clearly.

No Convention Bounce for Obama So Far

So far, there has been no “convention bounce” for the Political Messiah, Barack Obama, in the polls (which we at WonderfulPessimist.com never believe, anyway, whether polls favor the candidates we like or not). It appears Michelle Obama’s address on opening night did little to inspire anyone, and neither did the naming of party hack Joe Biden as Barack’s running mate.

No June Cleaver/Clair Huxtable makeover, complete with gold anklets, has been able to make most folks forget the “for the first time in my life, I am proud of my country,” slip-up, and her delivery of “I love my country” last night was simply not said with enough passion and conviction to convince anyone but the Obama Kool-Aid drinkers.

Anyway, the latest Gallup Poll claims John McCain is now up on Obama by four points. Ehh, whatever. Considering McCain is simply “the other Democrat” in the race, running under a GOP banner, it’s not like it matters anyway.

It’s a catfight!

The claws are out and the cats are warming up, even in the absence of Atlanta Falcon QB Michael Vick: Campaing 2008 is turning into a cat fight. In one corner, hailing from Illinois by way of Arkansas, Washington DC and New York, it’s Hillary “Maul His Balls” Rodham-Clinton.

And in the other corner, in the politically-correct-hued trunks, also from Chicago and, apparently, a kindergarten playground, it’s Michelle “He’s Black Enough for Me… Where It Counts!” Obama!

LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!

Where’s Michael Buffer when you need him.

The cat fight between Hillary and Michelle heated up over the weekend when she took a shot Sen. Rodham by suggesting that until Hill can keep husband Bill’s “slick Willie” where it belongs, she ought not be running for President.

“One of the things, the important aspects of this race is role modeling what good families should look like,” Michelle Obama said at a Women for Obama event. “And my view is that if you can’t run your own house, you certainly can’t run the White House.”

Not a bad turn of phrase, not a bad life philosophy. But Michelle, be very careful. Your hubby’s a Democrat; you just might have to live those words down someday. Especially if the Clinton Collective has anything to say about it. Since you libs apparently read more books than us conservatives, you should be able to anticipate this for yourself!

Don’t forget: Resistance is futile!
