President Obama campaigned for Harry Reid Thursday in Nevada. He resorted to painting Sharron Angle as an extremist and ridiculed her for calling the BP oil spill fund a 'slush fund.'
“She favors an approach that’s even more extreme than the Republicans we’ve got in Washington. That’s saying something.”
“I’m sure she meant slush fund in the nicest possible way,”
If having President Obama campaign for you is a political deathblow, Harry Reid is dead as the parrot in the old Monty Python sketch. He just is in denial about his political death.
AP reported:
After coming under attack for the remark Thursday Angle took it back. Obama ridiculed that, too: “I’m sure she meant slush fund in the nicest possible way,” he said.
Said Obama: “She favors an approach that’s even more extreme than the Republicans we’ve got in Washington. That’s saying something.”
Sharron Angle holds a thin polling lead average of 2.4 points.
