How low can they go? Obama agrees with Biden’s ‘they’re going to put you back in chains’ comment

Unbelievable. According to spokesperson and deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter, President Obama agrees with Joe Biden’s reprehensible “they’re going to put you back in chains” remarks given at a rally in Danville, Va., today. Meet the “new tone.” Civility for thee, but not for me, as always. Now with more slavery metaphors and American citizen demonizing!

Hey, give Obama a break. He can no more disown Joe Biden than he can disown Jeremiah Wright.—
