Thomas robocalls hit Obama speech

Sen. David Thomas has been in the news a lot lately, from his investigation of Gov. Mark Sanford. Now, he might be popping up again, for robocalls that went out Monday night with him talking about President Barack Obama‘s speech to America’s schoolchildren. From reports we heard, it was a little odd.

According to Upstate sources, the Fourth District congressional candidate ripped Obama, and said he would introduce legislation that would prevent this sort of thing from happening again. We don’t have the call script, so we don’t know the specifics, but trying to pass a bill to make it illegal for the President of the United States to speak to the country’s students is bizarre.

Really — the speech has the President telling kids to do well in school and become good citizens. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich endorsed it. Yes, there are a lot of crazy people in this state, but catering to them simply looks bad.

But, hey, it could cost a Democrat some money. Maybe.

And no, Nu, you can’t pay in Wyeth’s ham biscuits.
