Obama says "Shame on her" in brilliant response!

Just when I start to forget.

Just when I'm becoming so tired of this endless campaign.

Just when I start to worry that maybe Obama blew it a little bit.

Just when I start to forget why he's gotten this far, and wonder how effectively he can respond to what could easily be a terrible "gaffe".

I see this video from Halperin's The Page under the headline COUNTERPUNCH:

update: Now with embedded YouTube video!

How brilliant is that?  I mean, this guy is good.  I would have loved to have been in the crowd for this one, as he was on top of his game as I haven't seen him be in a while.  Fresh, vibrant, visceral, effective.  I wish I knew what that person in the crowd said toward the end of the video.  He asks, hears the answer, chuckles, but doesn't repeat it and moves on.

Counterpunch indeed.
