"Obama threw his grandmother under the bus"
He was giving a speech about race and called her a racist...she was his grandmother and he took a cheap shot at her to save himself.

Beg pardon, Jess. I didn't pick-up on that in your previous post. I'm having a slow brain day. ::)
Thanks for explaining. :D

--- Quote from: DavidinIndy on November 16, 2008, 08:44:11 pm ---I think when I say it I say "shouldn't have" but with my twangy Indiana accent it sounds like "of". Actually I guess I'm saying "shouldn't huv". (huv=have). Or something like that anyway! :)

It's also pronounced "shouldn't huv" (speed talk for "should not have") in Oz, David. :)
When written, it's "shouldn't have"; though, I've also seen "shouldn't've".

Front-Ranger:
One phrase I hate is "get a life." Another one is "Don't worry." I decide what to worry about and what not to worry about! Because of this, I have a problem with the Aussie "no worries." I wish more people would learn to say, "You're welcome" instead of "no worries" or "no problem."
