Barack Obama: Hillary's latest apologist

Hillary made this below comment on Monday at a Martin Luther King event (not sure if they called it a "unity" function), but what she said was hardly unifying:

When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation and you know what I'm talking about."

File this under "the things 'they' get away with."

Yesterday, when I reported on Hillary's odious comments, I responded that "I didn't know what she was talking about."

However, Illinois Senator Barack Obama seems to know what Hillary MLK Day comments meant, according to AP:

The Illinois senator told CNN's "American Morning" he believed that Clinton was merely expressing concern that special interests play such a large role in writing legislation that "the ordinary voter and even members of Congress who aren't in the majority party don't have much input."

"There's been a consolidation of power by the Republican Congress and this White House in which, if you are the ordinary voter, you don't have access," Obama said. "That should be a source of concern for all of us."

Hey, Barack, when Hillary was talking "plantation," you know, I know, everyone knows that she was not talking about "special interests."

Please don't assume we're morons, Senator Obama.
