Obama Camp Says "Like, Duh" : McClellan Book is "Not News"

[jefferson_dem]

Actually, they didn't say "like, duh" ... but how perfect is this response?

Bwahahahaha...

Obama Camp React To McClellan Book

Barack Obama spokesman Hari Sevugan weighs in on revelations in former WH press secretary Scott McClellan's tell-all book:

“It’s not news that this Administration engaged in spin and deception to lead us into a war that should’ve never been authorized and never been waged," Sevugan told On Call. "The only question now is, do we continue George Bush’s failed policy in Iraq or do we change it? John McCain is promising four more years of the exact same policy in Iraq that asks everything of our brave troops and nothing of the Iraqi government, while Barack Obama wants to begin a phased withdrawal of our troops and refocus our efforts on going after al-Qaeda in Afghanistan."

1. What I love about this: McClellan/Bush made the press their bitches....

and then bitch-slapped the press for allowing it to happen.

That is fucking priceless. I could not have wished for a better kick-to-the-curb of our MSM if I had planned it myself.

And, in case you haven't noticed, the press is just a little bit snippy about it, too.

3. Watching David Gregory on Hardball right now play apologist-in-chief is fun, too

Because you know him and his ilk are steaming mad about this behind the curtain.

Fuck 'em.

2. Man. Obama's team is good

That's exactly the response I was hoping for. It's not new news. The left has been shouting this out for years. Puts it in perspective.

4. And why did Bill & Hill help.

Biggest unanswered question of them all.

6. Can you here the crickets over at the Clinton camp....

either they have nothing to, or the press has moved on to more news worthy people

5. Their responses are like musicians with perfect pitch n/t
