John Ridley: Obama Gets Tough. Too Little, Too Late?Since the day he tossed his hat into the ring Obama has been hit up with vicious innuendo and outright lies regarding his heritage, his patriotism, and his religion. And in almost every circumstance his denials have been tepid when not simply nonexistent. Contrast that with the entire Republican machine (aided and abetted by the media) getting "outraged" by the "lipstick on a pig" line. With pushback like he's given recently, Obama oughta be looking to play cribbage this November with the guys at the assisted living home for Democrats. Maybe. Except that Obama had himself a siddown with Bill Clinton.read more
