Obama camp responds to question about Khalidi

[Phx_Dem]

Oh man, this is too funny.

Also responds to whether McCain's Khalidi attack will hurt with Jewish voters in Florida: “No, I think the McCain boomerang yesterday landed somewhere between their nose and their forehead.”
:rofl:

Listen to the audio of his remarks.

On a more serious note, he also goes pumpkin shopping.

One day before Halloween and five days before the election, Barack Obama visited a pumpkin patch in Sarasota, Fla. this afternoon after his rally there.

Actually, it was more of a pumpkin lot - a small parking lot full of healthy medium-sized pumpkins located across the street from a church. There was a small radio on a bench blasting country music, which made the sound a bit tricky.

"Let's go get some pumpkins!" Obama said to Mike, the man running the pumpkin sale, which turned out to be a fundraiser for hurricane relief. (We're working to confirm his last name, which sounded like it was Dul.)

Obama's personal pumpkin tastes were made plain: he flirts with the extremes, but then ends up going with conventional picks.

1. I think that was Robert Gibbs (comm dir), not Obama himself.

2. Right. And I didn't make that very clear by leaving out the word "camp."

Thanks for catching that. I've edited the title.

3. The pumpkin story was great -- a lot of fun for Obama, supporters and press EOM
