Craven Political Crudités
By FRANK BRUNI
NYT
BARACK OBAMA hates Thanksgiving and all that it represents.
Don’t believe me? Then consider his own words. On Wednesday, previewing our annual overconsumption of fowl, the president said, “Tomorrow is one of the worst days of the year to be American.”
O.K., fine, he didn’t say it exactly like that. I attached the bulk of a sentence near the start of his remarks to the last word of a later sentence, and if you want to be a stickler, his “worst” sentiment in its original form referred to the predicament of oven-bound turkeys, not the experience of people gorging on them.
Even so. He did utter each of those syllables, in that precise order. I smell a Mitt Romney ad in the making.
