Obama: I don’t do cowering

Oh yeah, baby! Finally! A Democratic candidate who doesn’t roll over and tremble at the appearance of the swiftboat assholes.

From Rolling Stone, via the New York Times:

It was not all about pop culture. When Mr. Wenner asked how Mr. Obama might respond to harsh attacks from Republicans, suggesting that Democrats have “cowered” in the past, Mr. Obama replied, “Yeah, I don’t do cowering.”
