Quote o' the day: Respect and Unity

Senator Barack Obama on the U.S. Military (via Astute Bloggers):

That requires... us to... have... enough troops that we're not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there.

Michelle Obama is our runner-up for her optically frightening descriptions (New Yorker, 10 March 2008):

I asked [Michelle Obama] if she was offended by Bill Clinton’s use of the phrase “fairy tale” to describe her husband’s characterization of his position on the Iraq War. At first, Obama responded with a curt “No.” But, after a few seconds, she affected a funny voice. “I want to rip his eyes out!” she said, clawing at the air with her fingernails. One of her advisers gave her a nervous look. “Kidding!” Obama said. “See, this is what gets me into trouble.”

Party Unity: It's fantastic!
