Niccolo Obama II

By The Daily Dish

Jun 20 2008, 12:56 PM ET

Obama shows he's not going to allow the GOP and Fox News to define him as an alien, commie, Muslim, wimpy extremist. Not without a fight anyway. Here he is in an aggressive national buy - all that campaign money will be spent - touting his white roots, working class support, and Kansan patriotism. Matt giggles: "My Mom's White! And I'm From America!" But it's effective precisely because it's so crude, though not as crude as Hannity. Isn't this the candidate the Democrats have been longing for since Clinton?
