So…according to Barry Obama:

• We’re not allowed to call him Hussein — even though it’s his Allah-given name.
• We’re not allowed to talk about his father.
• We’re not allowed to talk about his mother, or his grandmother either.
• We’re not allowed to talk about his Kenyan cousin.
• We’re not allowed to talk about his terrorist friends.
• We’re not allowed to talk about his shady real-estate dealings.
• We’re not allowed to talk about his ties to the Nation of Islam.
• We’re not allowed to talk about his (lack of) patriotism.
• We’re not allowed to talk about his prior drug use.
• We’re not allowed to talk about his Muslim upbringing in Indonesia.
• We’re not allowed to talk about the radical Islamic terrorists who support his candidacy.
• We’re not allowed to talk about his white-folk and America hatin’ reverend.

And now we’re not allowed to talk about his white-folk and America hatin’ wife, Michelle:

“Sen. Barack Obama ripped into a Republican ad today that targets comments made by his wife, Michelle, and called the GOP tactic “low class” and “detestable.”

The Illinois senator told “Good Morning America” that he expects hardball tactics from the Republicans if he becomes the Democratic presidential nominee.

“But I also think these folks should lay off my wife,” he told “GMA” as his wife chuckled beside him.

If Barry wants us to “lay off” his loud and not-so proud wife — maybe he should tell her to shut the fuck up already. This woman has been a vocal and exceptionally visible part of his campaign. She has put herself front and center in this campaign.

Which makes criticism and scrutiny of her fair game. Especially since Barry has himself been quite vocal in his criticism of President Bill Clinton stumping for his wife. Much like Michelle is doing for her husband.

Honestly — in my life I don’t ever remember a politician, much less one running for President, who was more thin-skinned and more prone to whining than Barry Obama.

Wake Up America: “If she is going to be out there, speaking on Obama’s behalf, then her words are not only fair game, they are prime ammunition, especially when she says stupid things like “for the first time in my life I am really proud of my country.”

Ed Morrissey at Hot Air: “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.”

Michelle Malkin: “If the Missus cannot take the heat, keep her away from the microphone.”

Jules Crittenden: “OK. Tell her to stop saying wackadoo stuff then, if either of you are able to figure out which stuff that is. Also, you might want to tell Howard Dean to leave off Cindy McCain.”
