Obama: Cheney is 'a crazy uncle in the attic'

SPARTANBURG, South Carolina (CNN) – At a campaign event Saturday, Sen. Barack Obama called his distant cousin, Vice President Dick Cheney, "a crazy uncle in the attic."

Obama was referencing the recent revelation by the Vice President's wife, Lynne Cheney, that he and the Vice President are distantly related.

"For the first time in a long time, the name George Bush will not appear on the ballot," he told the crowd of about 500 people at Converse College in Spartanburg.

"The name Dick Cheney, my cousin, will not appear on the ballot," Obama said. "We had been trying to hide that cousin thing for a long time. Everybody's got a black sheep in the family. A crazy uncle in the attic."

If you wonder about Cheney, watch Frontline's " Cheney's Law". It is very informative about who exactly is running this country. He needs to go.

Obama seriously reveals his childish punk side when he chooses to denigrate the vice president this way. It's uncalled for. I don't agree with 10% of anything Cheney stands for, but there should still be respect for the office.

So, personal name calling is going to be Obama's MOI? Sorry, not the level of maturity we need in a president.
