Hyperboles of the Day

House Minority Whip Eric Cantor says "President Obama's handling of the auto industry resembled the corrupt, oligarchic government of Vladimir Putin's Russia."

Rev. Jeremiah Wright, in an interview published yesterday, was quoted as saying "them Jews" wouldn't let him speak with Obama. Today, he clarified, saying he meant, "Zionists." No word on whether he corrected his grammar.

Talking about health care reform proposals in Green Bay today, Obama said reform was a "moral imperative." He also dismissed talk of "socialized medicine", but said "a single-payer system has some appeal."
