Obama in the Sarah Patch
Ace of Spades HQ —
Obama in the Sarah Patch I've been watching clips of Obama taking on Sarah Palin all day long today. (He says, for example, it seems she wants to be treated like a guy -- huh? was that ever in doubt? -- so now they'll be looking into her record -- wha? you weren't doing that already?). I don't have clips of that but I have this from a couple of days ago, where Obama insists that running his campaign is harder than running a state: Actually, I guess, he doesn't insist that running a campaign is harder than running a state, because he ignores the fact that she's governor; he chooses instead to talk about her mayorship of Wasilla (or, as he calls it, "Wa silly ," and don't ...
