I don't think this message was approved by Barack Obama, who seems to think he's the decider when it comes to Republican campaign ads:
The Tennessee Republican Party welcomes Michelle Obama, wife of Barack Obama, to Nashville today, where she’s the guest of honor at a Tennessee Democratic Party fundraiser.
To welcome Mrs. Obama to Nashville and Tennessee, we asked a few Tennesseans to take a few moments to tell her what makes them proud of their country. Viewers will find their statements stand in stark contrast to two incidents in February when Mrs. Obama announced that for “the first time in my adult life” she was proud of America.

And while Mrs. Obama has trouble being proud of the country where she earned degrees from Princeton University and Harvard Law School and then became a multi-millionaire, her husband makes statements that belittle average Americans’ response to the difficulties of life, including his recent statement that, in tough times, “it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
Tennessee talks back here. Barack Obama talks back as well. Michelle Obama is OFF LIMITS. She can make any comment she pleases but Republicans better not quote her. What's the matter Barack? Not too proud of Michelle's campaign speeches?
On a more inspiring note, here’s a wonderful tribute to America’s finest that someone set to Taylor Hicks’ “Do I Make You Proud?”
I dedicate it to Mrs. Obama:
If Michelle O. does not want to be criticized, she should just stay out of the public domain and keep her big fat mouth shut!

Check this out:
I now have it from
two threefour sources (three who are close to senior Republicans) that there is video dynamite–Michelle Obama railing against “whitey” at Jeremiah Wright’s church.http://tinyurl.com/4n2zpx
I just love watching the Democrats go after each other for a change.

Oh if only we could be so fortunate! He'll be all done if it's true.

Check out his latest post on the subject. He's now saying an ultra conservative billionaire has offered $1 million for the video. Said billionaire hates McCain and wants to release the video now because he believes McCain can beat Obama, especially if the video comes out in October.
