From The House Un-Obama Activities Committee

THE presidential candidate who believes in the constitutional right to force a pair of scissors into the head of a baby being born has called an ad "unacceptable" and "low class" for reminding voters his wife has never been proud of her country till now. The Tennessee Republican Party's YouTube critique of hustings speechifier and sudden victim, Michelle Obama, features Volunteer State patriots saying why they're proud of America. Best line by Tate, a student at Vanderbilt:


I'm proud of our country because of the freedom of religion. So that if my pastor goes on a wild political tirade I can just walk out.


That's right: you don't have to wait twenty years, make hand-wringing speeches and humiliate your grandmother to effect an exit strategy. Ed Morrissey thinks the "whininess quotient" of the Obama campaign has yet again been ratcheted up a notch: "Toughen up, buttercup, and stop whining about criticism of speeches at political events. If you can't handle that much, you have no business running for re-election to your current job, let alone for the presidency." Exactly so.
