Mayhill Fowler: Obama campaign is "classy"

[Coexist]

She hardly seems fearful for her life in this interview, and shows much class herself:

The woman who broke the Obama "small town" story for The Huffington Post may have come under relentless fire from some Obama supporters after the news broke, but she has one word to describe the response she's since received from the Obama campaign itself: "Classy."

I just spoke briefly with the woman, Mayhill Fowler, and she said that though she created the worst and most sustained controversy for Obama since Jeremiah Wright's sermons surfaced, Obama campaign aides haven't directed any anger or punitive action in her direction.

"They haven't denied me any kind of access," Fowler said. "From the time I started following them around last June, they have been a classy operation, and I still think they are. They haven't treated me any differently than before."

One final tidbit: Fowler rejected the idea that the people Obama made his guns and religion remarks to were rich.

"I'm not sure that it's completely come out, but these were not really wealthy people."

Have no fear, McCarthyism's not here.

1. There's one reason Barack will make a better president than I would

I'm not sure I could be so big about it. But good on him.

I wonder how the Clinton campaign would have reacted to bad press from a reporter. Oh wait.
