WASILLA - The Obama campaign has pulled out “the big guns” to get the dirt on Sarah Palin: legendary Communist spies and Obama supporters Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who reportedly hate America, are in Wasilla, Alaska “learning as much as possible” about Palin.

Mr. and Mrs. Rosenberg are best known for the espionage charges filed against them alleging that they passed secrets about the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union.

Late yesterday, Obama was confronted with questions about the Rosenbergs’ allegiance to America and immediately distanced himself from them and described them as “like a crazy old aunt and uncle.” 

Obama did not instruct the Rosenbergs to return home from Wasilla.  ”Since they’re up there, we might as well see what they come up with,” he said.
