And not in a good way for the on speaking them.

watching Obama speak in this kind of format makes me uncomfortable, how he is going to handle a debate or what the hard left sees in him is still beyond me.

Have been sharting themselves on a Daily basis since McCain picked SarahCUDA !!!! LOL!!

Obama has made a huge disgusting error in his attack on Palin and all woman

The McCain camp had better be hitting out on this

& Steve Schmidt will be on this Mistake like white on rice

Shep on Fox News just reported that last year when referring to Hillary Clintons Health Care Plan he said this “you can put lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig”

It’s not really the same, but that’s what they will run with.

above post should have said that Shep said McCain said that about Hillary’s Health Care Plan. DUH!

You all know pig costumes will be following Obama now lol

Wow! Mr. Obama (I’m trying to be respectful) has offended me once again. I really don’t see how any woman can not be offended by this. Governor Palin’s lipstick comment was in NO WAY offensive to anyone. All Obama is doing is showing what kind of sexist biggot he is. This is a glaring insult to all women. Democrat, Republican, or otherwise. How can his obviously strong-minded wife condone this type of comment? Anyone?

This is huge. Does he really think people are dumb?

Obama is a smart guy. He chooses his words carefully. He knew this would have a connotation.

The McCain/Palin camp needs to put out an ad with this, ASAP.

The whole “lipstick on a pig” word picture has been with us a long time, and Obama has used it before. Now, I would say it probably wasn’t the best one to use, given Palin’s joke in her convention speech, but still I really don’t think it was a personal attack. Perceptions being what they are, he should probably come up with another one.

But hey, Democrats, how does it feel to be on the receiving end of a sexism charge you believe to be invalid? Hopefully, the result of this election season is a sobering of the hysteria, that not every disagreement is a result of sexism, racism or homophobia.

It’s like using the term Kool-Aid drinker. No one but people trying to invoke race(black people drink kool-aid! you racist!) take that as an out-of-whack phrase and that’s sort of how I feel about this.

Personally I think they’re stretching this one a bit.

I don’t really see this is an issue, but many do apparently. It was obviously taken as a reference to Palin, you can tell by the crowd reaction.

I don’t know. Obama is not smart sometimes.

I fail to see how his comment that, “You can put lipstick on a pig and it’s still a big” is sexist or insulting to women. Or a reference to Governor Palin. The idea (by the Right) that Obama’s comments are sexist makes absolutely no more sense than the idea (by the Left) that McCain’s “celebrity ad” with Briney Spears and Paris Hilton in it was racist.

Sarah Palin has become our Barack Obama and this election has become surreal.

I think the “old fish” reference that followed this lipstick comment was referencing John McCain. OLD fish. Most of the media is not catching this. That reference is what leads me to believe the lipstick and fish reference IS referring to Palin and McCain… despite the denials of the Obama Implosion machine.

…uh, uh, uh, the wheels are coming off my campaign!

All I can say is “keep it up BO…”

I love that the Dems have done absolutely nothing but focus on leveling cheap shots, and cheap shots with no factual basis, on our VP candidate since last Wednesday night. The campaign has trolled down to “Issues, I got no stinking issues! But what about this expense report where she claimed stuff that was allowed by law!”

Keep it up. Mrs908 noted that Palin’s hairstyle was a tad out of date. I think they should descend on her hairdresser and get the scoop on that one. It should be good for a couple of days and some front page NYT/WaPo headlines.

And he’s still an idiot.

We need a picture of Obama with lipstick next to his quote. He is nothing but a chauvinist pig.

My first reaction was, WOW, I can’t believe he just said that. Apparently, the first reaction of the audience was also to find quick comparison with Gov Palin’s pitbull comment. You know, I just bet he lost some would be die-hard Obama supporters with this unbelievably un-savvy remark. I also read that Biden basically said that if conservatives really cared about disabled children, they’d support embryonic stem cell research. Did he really imply that conservatives who value unborn human life don’t care about disabled children? Add to that an attack on McCain’s honor and you have an end of an inning in just one day for the Dems.

“As we say in Wyoming, you can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig,” quipped Vice President Dick Cheney in a stump speech yesterday, with reference to John Kerry’s claims he would be a credible war president.

The last gasp of a dying campaign.

It’s not surprising that it would be a liberal Democrat male making sexist and disgusting comments about a woman.

The lib dems need to figure it out that you don’t nominate candidates who are appealing to 25 year old males who are blogging amidst a pile of fast food wrappers from their parents’ basement.

It’s time to toss the Obama campaign an anvil.

Angle is weak but it really isn’t that hard to make some form of connection(real or imagined). This kind of talk is very easy to misread even if not meant to insult. The opaqueness of the meaning alone makes what he said a stupid utterance by a POTUS wannabe.

And he is still getting his little fanny kicked.

all last week that Gov. Palin had such a
prole education, and Obama was Ivy?

I know the Libs are quoting McCain and Cheney making similar lipstick-on-a-pig comments, trying to make it look like the Obamessiah’s statement was as benign as theirs, but…

If Obama had made this comment the day before Palin’s speech, NO ONE would have a problem with it!

But this is so obviously referring to Gov Palin and her lipstick joke…and based on that, and the fish comment, and the flipping off of Hillary and other screw-ups, I have to say this was intentional…PROVING the guy has no judgment on how to zing a political opponent without stepping in it.

Now I don’t believe for a second that Barack Obama is dumb, he’s a very smart person (you have to be smart to graduate from Harvard and be a law professor), this leads me to question his judgment if he thinks this was a good idea.

Wow, can you get anymore deep and serious, or is this site just on a talk radio name calling basis? After all, for a hockey mom, gun toting type, does she need all your mannish protection?

n/t

not worth making more than a one-day deal out of it. Just accept it as more evidence of the Glass-Jawed Messiah losing his cool.

I am not a lefty, but educated and honest unlike you. Obama was using an old expression that had nothing to do with Palin. It’s petty twits like you that are twisting it into a smear so you can smear Obama, and you are lying. I am above such petty trash, unlike a bottom feeder like you
I will vote for McCain in spite of the fact that I might be associated with your ilk.

had it not been for the over the top coverage of Bristol’s pregancy or Todd’s DUI, his comments today would not have been that big of a deal. He was talking about the idea of the ticket being a reform one and not about Palin directly. However when you add this one to everything that the left has said about her, people assume it is another sexist comments. It was one of the good reasons why McCain was smart to add her to the ticket, because you knew the media would go berzeek attacking her that know every time somebody says anything negitive about her it is like an IV drop of sexism for Hill voters to be reminded of the issues they had Obama during the primaries. IMHO, I think what Sen. Hair plugs had to say about Gov. Palin not caring about her baby because she is anti-eymbronic stem cell research is a 100 times more offensive than Barry’s remark.

I can’t read everything, and I think I have seen it mentioned, but its worth repeating.

1) Whether Obama was directly referring to Palin with the remark or not, it was at best a majorly stupid thing to say. The press he counts on to cover him can do less covering as each day passes- thanks to Palin Power.

2) I think that, given the way it was received by his own audience- and the way they responded- it seems most likely that he wanted to maintain some plausible deniability with an ambiguous statement, but one that could be interpreted in the mean-and-nasty way by “his people only”. Which again, seems to be how they interpreted it at the event.

…and the D’0H!Bama campaign will be paying her royalties on it for the rest of the election.

And nobody thinks that “stinky fish” wasn’t a reference to her, either? Do I have to explain?

Sarah Palin won’t get mad, she’ll just yank D’OH!Bama’s chain and tease him through the bars of his cage…some more.

Sarah Palin Fun Fact: Unlike Dirty Harry, Sarah Palin knows EXACTLY how many shots she’s fired.

This little Obama read from the teleprompter,
This little Biden stayed home,
This little Obama said stupid stuff,
This little Biden said even stupider stuff,
And this little Obama went…
“Uhh Uhh Uhh” all the way home…

McCain camp is right to hold his feet to the fire.

Under pressure, Obama’s true character reveals itself. It’s very different from the carefully constructed persona crafted by david Axelrod and Obama for the credulous millions — the thoughtful, caring, brilliant Obama.

He’ll hold out for a few days and then apologize.

Meanwhile — excellent teeing up for Sarah’s boffo debut this week on ABC>

Thanks again, MSM and Obama!

The crowd definitely interpreted it as an insult on Palin and a tie in to her joke from her speech. Furthermore, the way he delivered it makes me think it was intentional and scripted…they knew in advance that McCain had described Clinton’s HEALTH CARE PLAN as such, so they had a defense all set up for a scripted comment.

On the other hand, it is an old phrase that he was stupid to use in describing PEOPLE. Since it is an old phrase though, we should let it go tomorrow.
