From a Barak Obama email today:

“When I decided to run for president, I accepted that my opponents would dig through my record looking for something to attack.

Well - you should have! Right now I imagine the dozens of campaign interns currently rummaging through 1st grade transcripts, forged field trip permission slips, and science fair projects that may have had a little too much help from the parents…

To be fair, TPM is sharing that Mark Penn said it was just a gag (but on the other hand Penn said a recent Zogby poll that wasn’t great for Clinton to be one too if I recall correctly when according to Zogby “no other campaign has made as many requests for Zogby polling data over the years as Penn has made on behalf of Clinton.”) So who knows.
