That's what he said. Funny, I didn't even know they were back together. (rimshot!)
(Yeah. Like you didn't think it when you heard Obama's comment! -Ed.)
What a lightweight.
UPDATE: Will Collier at Vodkapundit had a similar thought, and earlier than I did. Great minds.... get followed by mediocre ones.

It appears Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), a front-runner for the Democrat Party presidential nomination, has stolen a page from the campaign playbook of Segolene Royal, the French Socialist Party candidate who lost the French presidential election to Nicolas Sarkozy early last month.
In a Bob McCarty Writes™ post May 4, I reported that operatives of Senator Obama and his chief rival, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), would be paying close attention to the results of the presidential election in France. A day later, I wrote and published a post about Royal’s warning to her countrymen — or, as she would say, “country-persons” — only 48 hours before election day that violence would erupt in the streets of France if she lost. And it did.
Now, according to an Associated Press report, Obama tossed out words like “Katrina” and “Rodney King” before accusing President George W. Bush of doing nothing to defuse a “quiet riot” among blacks that threatens to erupt just as riots in Los Angeles did 15 years ago.
Sounds like a threat to me. Moreover, it sounds like he’s targeting the same segment of the Democrat Party base at which people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton tend to direct their oft-divisive, race-bating efforts, such as “No Justice, No Peace!” Worst of all, it sounds as if he’s hoping those targeted will actually resort to violence so that he — Obama — can try to lay the blame for the social unrest at the feet of Bush and, more importantly, his Republican opponent in the 2008 general election.
If I was Senator Clinton, I would be eating this up, satisfied that the junior senator from Illinois had blown his chance and, in so doing, improved hers.
Bob:
This appears to be just a repost from your blog, 'Bob McCardy Writes'. I make a lame joke about an '80's headbanger band, and you (re)post what you "reported" about your take on French Socialists and Obama?? Were you trying to add to the conversation, or "seeding" one of your posts here to get page-views at your site?
BTW - I think Glenn Reynolds gets 2100 page-views about 1.5 seconds, Bob. And because such things matter to you, I get about 50 page views on a good day (or if my mom is checking...). I'm quite content with that. I'm blessed if I get just one.
