Moments after Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa Jr. declared the labor movement the "army" in a war against the tea party and rallying a Labor Day crowd to "take these sons of bitches out", President Obama thanked Hoffa and declared how proud he was of him.This is the same Obama that called for that 'new tone/new civility' in political discourse after the Giffords shooting in January. When called on the hypocrisy by the White House Press Corps, spin mode ensued:
Another , longer vid here:Obama White House says it has no comment about Hoffa's comments at taxpayer funded Labor Day event that the President attended and spoke at. Obama White House says Obama wasn't on stage, wasn't there when the comments were made. When pressed with comparisons to previous events which the Obama team was very responsive about, the White House decided to spin.
UPDATE: Dan Pfeiffer: "The President Won't Serve as the Speech Police for the Democratic Party". Funny how these ame people held McCain to a far different standard when anyone misspoke at one of his campaign appearances.
