Obama: GOP trying to make me and Michelle 'scary'
From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney


Sen. Barack Obama has told critics to 'lay off my wife,' Michelle Obama.
(CNN) – Barack Obama said Thursday he fully expects Republican's to play the fear card in the general election, and will attempt to portray both him and his wife Michelle as "scary."

Speaking at a high-dollar fundraiser in Chicago's Hyde Park on Thursday evening, the Illinois senator said he thinks he knows what the GOP strategy will be this fall.

"They’re going to try to make me into a scary guy. They’re even trying to make Michelle into a scary person. Right?" Obama said. "And so that drumbeat – 'we’re not sure if he’s patriotic or not; we’re not sure if he is too black.'

WATCH: How Michelle Obama may be a target

"I don’t know, before I wasn’t black enough," Obama said. " 'Now he might be too black. We don’t know whether he’s going to socialize – well, who knows what.' "

1. ITA with Obama's approach. If he "stopsthesmear" as soon as it starts....
and NAMES the propaganda approach for what it is, then that is how voters will see it. Also, he will be predicting what the GOP/MSM is going to do and why they are doing it, so when the MSM/GOP does it, they are just proving that Obama is correct.

2. It is so obvious,too.
It is key that Obama calls it out, consistently. They sill throw it all, elitist, socialist, Marxist, terrorist, Islamist, radical, anti-american and on and on.

They will keep trying and nothing will stick if Obama is vigilant.
