Obama's remark doesn't help anyone's kids The Chicago Way, June 14 2008 Barack Obama channels his inner Sean Connery as he describes his approach to the upcoming campaign: Barack Obama is warning supporters that the general election fight between him and John McCain may get ugly, but the Illinois senator is vowing not to back down. "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun," Obama said at a fundraiser in Philadelphia Friday, according to pool reports. Uh huh. I hope he also brings a gun permit, a trigger lock, and a good lawyer. And a health care plan. In his next fantasy I suppose Obama will want to channel his inner Clint Eastwood, who once explained that "I've got a firm policy on gun control. If there's a gun around, I want to be the one controlling it." Meanwhile, let me applaud any of the attendees who managed to keep a straight face while listening to Gunslinger Obama bragging on his quickness with a nine. Here's a guy who never heard a gun control proposal he didn't like promising to brandish a handgun as if he were Annie Oakley hunting ducks. As if. But he certainly is a bold orator! And since Obama said it we may not hear the typical Dem denunciations, but let me get a start on filling in the blanks: 1. I deplore this exhortation to random gunplay - what sort of a message does this send to America's youth, too many of whom have grown up in a culture glorifying violence? Is Obama a serious Presidential candidate or yet another rapper with yet another beef? 2. I deplore the imagery of a black man waving a gun to settle a dispute - surely if Team Hillary's mention of Obama's teenage drug use was a despicable play on regrettable ethnic stereotypes, this is too. That's a start - over to you. BEING A ROLE MODEL - A SOMETIME THING WITH BARACK. Looks like the "We need to transcend partisanship" sentence accidently got dropped from the teleprompter. Sorensen forgot to put it in or was it a malfunction? I weep for Michelle's children. justoneminute.typepad.com
