Andrea Mitchell Asks Whether It’s ‘Presidential’ Of Obama To Discuss Cow Pies
On Friday, MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell brought on Obama campaign press secretary Ben LaBolt. to discuss recent comments President Barack Obama made while campaigning in Iowa last night. Mitchell specifically wanted LaBolt’s take on the President’s decision to reference… Well. Poop. Specifically, a “cow pie of distortion.” Egads! Is this an appropriate topic of conversation for our nation’s leader?
“The President was campaigning in Iowa, as you know, at the state fair last night,” said Mitchell. “And one of the memorable lines was talking about cow pies. I mean, he’s trying to get down with the farmers of Iowa, or is this something that crosses a line? Some might suggest it’s not really presidential.”
Before changing the subject, LaBolt insisted that the President’s “cow pie” reference had been in reference to Mitt Romney having described the President as perpetuating “a prairie fire of debt.” Mitchell did not follow up with her original question.
