From her column this week:
To prove his bona fides to the environmentalist nuts, Obama said: “We’ve also been working to install lightbulbs that last longer and save energy. And that’s something that I’m trying to teach my daughters, 8-year-old Malia and 5-year-old Sasha.”So we finally have an answer to the question: What do Democrats teach their daughters? Is it:(a) integrity(b) character(c) the importance of always telling the truthNo! The answer is: (d) They teach their daughters to use low-energy lightbulbs. This is so important that it apparently bears mentioning during a debate under high-intensity TV studio lights.(How many kids does it take to screw in a lightbulb? In the Barack household, evidently, it takes two.)
The problem is, the moderator specifically asked the candidate what he was doing in his personal life for the environment. Williams even interrupted when Obama talked about the bigger issue, suggesting the candidate talk about light bulbs:
MR. WILLIAMS: …what in your personal life, Senator Obama, have you done recently to make for a better environment? Personal life.
SEN. OBAMA: Well, you know, we just had Earth Day, and we actually organized 3,000 volunteers to plant trees, which –
MR. WILLIAMS: I mean like light bulbs. (Laughter.)
SEN. OBAMA: Well, we — (laughs) — I thought the tree thing was pretty good. (Laughter.) But –
MR. WILLIAMS: Well, yeah, but you had a lot of help.
SEN. OBAMA: — we’ve also — we’ve also been working to install light bulbs that last longer and save energy, and that’s something that I’m trying to teach my daughters, 8-year-old Melia? and 5-year- old Sasha (sp).
