Obama: "You Better Not Make Fun of My Big Ears"

Barack Obama was in New Hampshire and coasting to the beat. Everybody was loving what he was saying, and he was quickly being annointed as the savior. At one point he was finished speaking, and he sought out columnist Maureen Dowd of the NY Times.

"Hey you," he said, wading into the crowd. "I'm putting you on notice. Your column made fun of my ears, and when I was in gradeschool I was tortured by teasing about my ears.

"I was just trying to toughen you up," replied Maureen, captured on tape. But it struck Rush Limbaugh as a great big sign that Obama is just too soft to run for president. And he has a point. I mean...as Rush said "I'm putting you on notice," is pretty hard talk. Like what, what will Obama do if Maureen, or a cartoonist, draws huge elephant ears to characterize Barack?

I can't wait to see what happens...now you know why I sometimes listen to WHYN's conservative talk. You learn important things.
