He seemed to feel good about it, but I don't think the undecided care about this stuff. They might care about the fact somebody has phoney outrage etc., but I doubt that, too. Now, if they bring out dates with white women, then that may work.

Definitely not a leader like Bob Barr. Maybe he can campaign against Roe V wade and then pay for his wife to have an abortion.

how did the good ole boys get Obama to use a dumb punchline that referenced a pig with lipstick and and old rotting fish when talking about what he claims are the stale policies of his opponents Palin and McCain? why would a presidential candidate use a line like that? even if you buy into the fact that it was an innocent oversight and no double entendre was to be inferred (which I don't buy for a minute because they are certainly not that stupid), isn't there a better way to make your point and not have that point totally lost in the clamor over the remark?

secondly, do you think for one minute that the first time Palin makes a mistake or gaffe, innocent or not, that it won't be pounced on within minutes by team Obama, in an effort to score points? if you don't then I have a bridge to nowhere to sell you.

This was not a mistake, or "innocent oversight." He actually was communicating perfectly here. That's what he thinks about McCain's Economic plan. He thinks it's a slightly enhanced version of the last 8 years(Pig with Lipstick.)

You can put lipstick on a dog's a$$hole - but it's still an ArlJim political post.

You can wrap a dead buzzard in paper - but it still stinks like an ArlJim political post that was submitted by Balletto's taint.

yeah I get that, but if he was smart he wouldn't have used the line in the current context because Palin has been using the lipstick on a pitbull line on a daily basis for over a week and it invited an immediate comparison. you don't win elections by making so many unforced errors.

actually he is now using cartoon writers for his material. he stole the previous line, the one before his lipstick on a pig line, from a cartoon.

Hey I'm with you on the conservative side... but what Obama said was not a big deal.. he took it from McCain actually, who has used the phrase twice while relating it to Liberal Policies.

Also.. the whole "my muslim faith" comment was taken greatly out of context if you read the transcript.. I could see how he said it accidently. The dude is a Christian.. and his wacky church and Palins wacky church should cross each other out!

But hey.. if it helps McCain win the election then Take it out of Context!!

it wasn't a big deal, it will only cost Obama about 48 hours in the news cycle. if thats no big deal to him fine. what people don't seem to understand is that it doesn't matter how it was intended, it was simply poor judgement to have said it and shows that he and his team are incompetent.

hey I would like for Obama to stick his foot in his mouth every week if it helps McCain... I was just saying that what he said wasnt a big deal and sounds different if you just hear those few words, compared to his whole speech.

i posted it previously.

Incompetent nothing. They ran a great primary campaign, and are doing the right thing by calling the Republicans out on their fabricate controversy by any means to distract from the issues tactics. Al Gore and John Kerry's respective campaigns tried to take the high road by not responding to the Republicans filthy tactics.. Didn't work, now the Obama camp is saying 'Stop this bullshit right now'.. Will it stop? I doubt it, since McCain/Palin have absolutely no platform to run on, but it's good to point out **** so people don't step in it.
