“It’s on. Jimmy McMillan of the Rent Is Too Damn High fame says he’s running for president in 2012, reports Ben Smith at Politico (who says he normally avoids fringe candidates but couldn’t resist this one). “Tell Obama I’m coming after his black ass,” the former New York gubernatorial candidate told Revolution Radio. McMillan also pointed out a key difference between him and the president: “He plays basketball, I teach karate,” notes Mediaite, which provides audio from the interview.” [Newser]
2012 Elections
Obama caves in – press conference happening now.
If he can’t win this fight, if he can’t explain why rich people don’t need tax cuts and won’t create jobs if they get them, he can’t explain why we should re-elect him.
Don’t know where to get Jezebel’s version of this video, but you can watch it here. Pallin’s crew basically turns the music back on to avoid questions from a CNN reporter. I also think I heard: “get them out of here.”
