Michelle Obama: Don’t Let the Clintons “Bamboozle” You

Published by Adam under Barack Obama, Humor, Michelle Obama, Quotes

Gotta love the comments made by Michelle Obama today about the Bill and Hill Hill and Bill Show (even I can’t tell which of them is running sometimes). Here’s the scoop (via National Post):

But the war of words between the two leading Democratic presidential candidates exploded Thursday into a full-blown family feud as Obama’s wife, Michelle, accused Bill and Hillary Clinton of waging a “win-at-all-costs” smear campaign against her husband ahead of South Carolina’s presidential primary Saturday.

“We knew getting into this race that Barack would be competing with Senator Clinton and President Clinton at the same time,” Michelle Obama said in a fundraising e-mail to supporters.

“What we didn’t expect, at least not from our fellow Democrats, are the win-at-all-costs tactics we’ve seen recently. We didn’t expect misleading accusations that willfully distort Barack’s record.”

The broadside from Michelle Obama came as her husband warned African-Americans not to be “hoodwinked” by thousands of anonymous e-mails sent recently to South Carolina voters that allege he is a Muslim who refuses to pledge allegiance to the American flag.

“Don’t let them bamboozle you with these dirty tricks,” the Illinois senator told a mostly black audience of 1,000 people at a campaign rally here. “Don’t let people make you afraid. Don’t let people feed your doubts.”

Bill the Bamboozler and Hillary the Hoodwinker — classic!
