Speaking at a high school in Norfolk, Obama took a few moments to address what he calls "the made-up controversy" of the day, Amie Parnes reports.
Obama said the McCain campaign moved to "seize an innocent remark and take it out of context because they knew it's catnip for the news media."
"See, it would be funny, but the news media decided that would be the lead story yesterday. This happens every election cycle. Every four years, this is what we do. This is what they want to spend two of the last 55 days talking about...Enough!" he said.
Obama called the attacks "lies, outrage and swift boat politics."
Gosh, Barry, that is what we call real scrutiny, as opposed to just bowing at your clay feet....maybe if you had the foresight and intelligence your followers say you do, you would have skipped this line on the prompter....or you wouldn't have compared McCain to an old fish....
But you are right Barry. It is not your fault. You are just a tabula rasa reflecting the spew of Axelrod. You don't run your campaign, Axelrod does. So, why should we vote for you for President?
