But then her husband had to open his big mouth: Obama Swipes at Fox: Pushing Narrative That Poor People Are 'Leeches'. No biggie. Add a few words here and there and --- voila! --- an All Obama!!! All The Time!!! column. However, that plan was dashed as Conservatives Quickly Try to Turn Stephanopoulos into the 'Next Brian Williams.'
