Obama staff harassing Cookie Mom?

Christine Frydenborg is a member of PrioritiesNH, an organization that seeks to shift priorities in the federal budget from military spending to education, health care, energy independence, job training and deficit reduction. She is known as "Cookie Mom" as she brings cookies to campaign events with the message "take a bite out of the budget."

A letter to the Nashua Telegraph claims that certain members of Obama's New Hampshire staff may be putting the lid on Cookie Mom:

"Sen. Obama himself has at all times been friendly, welcoming and gracious, and has even held up our cookies when talking about the federal budget. Certain members of his New Hampshire staff have been hostile, and Cookie Mom has been barred from handing out cookies inside his events (the only campaign of either party to do so)."

I spoke last night with Sen. Obama's State Director, Matt Rodriguez, who invited Cookie Mom to hand out cookies and Priorities pens inside their New Hampshire events and said the staffer with whom Cookie Mom had problems is no longer with the campaign. We're pleased; both Sen. Obama and the people attending his events have been very receptive to our message of sensible federal budget priorities.

She's a moron and doesn't even bake cookies OR have children hence, the Cookie Mom is just a farce.
