Obama: "Sarah Smeared ME! Uh, I mean YOU!"

Delicious irony. After Obama surrogates gnashed and trashed Gov. Palin relentlessly for days -- and after Obama himself acted as though Gov. Palin was no more than Mayor Palin of "Wasily" -- Barack Obama sent this special love letter to my inbox:

"[benergy] --

Why would the Republicans spend a whole night of their convention attacking ordinary people?

With the nation watching, the Republicans mocked, dismissed, and actually laughed out loud at Americans who engage in community service and organizing."

Emphasis mine.

You cast the first stone, Obama. Governor Palin struck back -- and not at the American people. But at you.

You may have had a coronation in Denver, but you are not all of America.
