The Tennessee GOP hasn't yet had their fill of Obama dirty tricks. A few months ago, they circulated a photo of Barack Obama in traditional Somali garb. Now, they are going after his wife.
Today they have circulated a video of Michelle's now-infamous 'proud' comments, which have been combined with shots of Tennessee voters describing why they are proud of their country:
The Obama camp fired back defending Michelle Obama:
This is a shameful attempt to attack a woman who has repeatedly said she wouldn't be here without the opportunities and blessings of this nation. The Republican Party's pathetic attempts to use the same smear tactics to win elections have failed in Mississippi, failed in Louisiana, and will fail in November because the American people are looking for a positive vision of real change. And if the Tennessee Republican Party has a problem with Senator Obama, maybe next time they'll have the courage to address him directly instead of attacking his family.

I saw the Matthews show and the faux pas by Kevin James. He was totally humbled by Matthews, a guy who has his own problems with credulity, but I laughed at the piece.

Kevin has what they call a radio face [not to be seen on TV]. His facial expressions I haven't seen since my last vampire movie.

My next blog features radio host Kevin James, who accused Barack as being an appeaser. Chris Mathews asked him what Neville Chamberlain had done in 1938. James went into an evasive rant, but finally admitted ignorance. Kevin thought that merely negotiating with an enemy was appeasement.
So, voting Republican guarantees perpetual war. Homeless and jobless, the voter has the comfort of a losing war in Asia.
