The likely Democratic presidential candidate, Barack Obama, yesterday
warned Republicans to "lay off" his wife, demonstrating a more
forceful style of politics ahead of today's primaries in Oregon and
Kentucky. In his second heated response to Republican attacks in days,
Obama said he would not tolerate attempts to attack him through his
wife, Michelle, calling such efforts "low class".
