…I could set that up for a bad joke, but instead I’ll just go right into the meat of the matter.
Barack Obama has informed the Republicans through the media that they had better lay off his wife Michelle when the Primaries end and the race for the White House begins, or else… umm… something. Yeah.
Well, I hate to say it, but to quote one of my favorite comic book characters of all time “Sorry Bub”. Welcome to the public arena. Everything you, and those associated with you, do or say in view of the world- will be witnessed and commented upon by everyone, and I mean everyone (hell, probably even me and Ms. Missive).
Besides, it’s not like your campaign hasn’t had a few things to say about another Prez hopeful’s significant other, I mean, granted Bill Clinton is a slightly more public figure having been the President already, and still being a public social and political figure, whos past job makes his public appearances an endorcement from a big wig in the Dem party, as well as from a husband in the case of Hillary, but still, fair is fair.
Cindy McCain hasn’t been completely left out either, as her refusal to disclose tax information as the other candidate’s families have done has stirred a few pots, but isn’t as heavily commented upon as, well, Michelle Obama saying she didn’t used to be proud of her country. But she said it in public, and as any celeb (and let’s be honest, in America politicians are far less scrutinized than the pop diva of the moment) will tell you- what you say and do in public is fair game for the media, and those who can gain from your missteps.
So you have two options, lighten up, toughen up, and learn to take the heat- or lock her up from the public eye until the whole campaign is over.
Your choice.

"…lighten up, toughen up… lock her up from the public eye until the whole campaign is over." I completely agree. You would think a seasoned politician would be used to having his private life made public.
People have been running presidential campaigns for years and years. Its a well known truth that every move you make is somehow going to be bent back on you and that when it comes to loading the electorial mud cannon nothing is off limits.
I think this gives us a glimpse of his interior and raises the question of weather or not hes going to start whining every time the mass media pokes at a sore spot. Wake up Obama! This is what they live for.
In my oppinion the best thing to do in today's tell-all society is to own up and show people the mud on your hands. Hold nothing back. The media wont be so interested in whipping things into a frenzy if it's already public knowledge.
