I am offended that the WH is offended at Carville's statement.
Of all the things to get "offended" about the WH chooses this topic?

They didn't get "offended" when the FBI fessed up that thousands of people had been illegally wire-tapped.

They didn't get "offended" when bush admitted that he personally gave the order to commit war crimes.

They didn't get "offended" when the gop time and again called him a commie or a socialist, or a Kenyan.

They didn't get "offended" when the gop sut down the extension of unemployment benefits.

They didn't get "offended" whenever (insert right-wing loudmouth here) called him (insert baseless accusation/insult here).

No.

They choose to get "offended" because of something someone said about his balls.

If there is a clearer example of this WH and this President being damned near clueless, this is it.

(and for what it's worth, I'm surprised he only credits Mrs. Clinton with three..)

11. Carville is brilliant at getting on anybody's last nerve.
He and Rahm should have a contest. Who is the biggest a-- hole?

A quote? Anything? Jumping at something that doesn't exist sounds more clueless to me.

8. Remember: The WH will ONLY Fight Back when it is From the Democrats NEVER, EVER from the Repubs.
We've seen this game played for the last 2 years..and you've just pointed out the obvious ones...
Obama may have tendencies to do a few Left things (with massive compromises) but for the most part he prefers that the Right just like him...even though they never will. In other words, he is a New Democrat (aka Corporate Democrat, aka DINO)

26. James Carville is barely a Democrat. If Obama is a DINO to you, what is Carville?

9. Who is this WH you mention?
Looks like, according to you, 'they' didn't get offended about a lot of things, and then 'they' did?

12. As a woman, I am offended by Carville's statement that you need to be a man to be tough.
Edited on Fri Nov-19-10 01:43 PM by Mass
I find it very sexist.

As for the substance (Hillary is tougher than Obama), it remains to be seen.

18. I'm sure the WH is offended at all of those
The WH likely expects insults from Republicans, and support from Democrats.

And it does not have all day to be offended at political issues.

Further, it would be easy to find statement in opposition to all of those.

WHy would Hillary be so much more "courageous?" She'd be the same.

35. I disagree. That's a pretty disrespectful way to speak of the President of the country,
regardless who the President is. There was a more delicate way to phrase that. Plenty of people have said that w/o being so crude.

And the fact that it's one of his own party is why it's so disrespectful. Such crudeness is expected from the party that has protest signs of Obama dressed as a witchdoctor. But not from one's own "supporter."

Though I understand that Carville and others, incl. myself, are getting fed up with all this wimpiness. But I think it's ALL the Democratic leaders, not just Obama. I can't think of more than a couple who have exhibited any forceness of spirit, taken consistent tough positions, and told it like it is.
