The American Mind

Sarah Palin has now repeated one line from her acceptance speech many times since. She says the only difference between a pit bull and a hockey mom is “lipstick”. It is a signature line.

Obama says on camera over and over that he is not about to make the campaign personal, that he would not attack Sarah Palin. Of course we now know he’s lying through his teeth. He said “You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig”.

Who does he think he is fooling? Does he really think that by spewing forth this underhanded insult at the end of a string of criticisms of John McCain that we don’t know what he is up to? Obama has no class whatsoever.

You are incorrect Sean. This is not an isolated incident for the Obama’s.

Barack & Michelle think they are smarter than the rest of us. They do their dissing in a way where they can conceal it or deny it later. It might be an Ivy League thing.

Michelle said “What you learn about Barack from his choice is that he’s not afraid of smart people.” Nothing about Palin there.

Barack had his “You gotta get, that, dirt off your shoulder” moment went right over the heads of white flyover country.

Barack thought he’d throw out the pig AND THE OLD FISH comments and deny it later.

He is a jerk.

well he and his idioms, the idiots who listen to those idioms and take time to post that they are idioms…..he is weak and this shows it. He had to get out that pig statement so fast he in fact botched up the entire first part of the speech. He was unable to connect any words except for the “lipstick on a pig is still a pig”

it would be one thing if he had it in the bag, it is another when he knows he has to mangle what he thinks is weak. IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN …..he will never win. I can’t wait to celebrate…media won’t effect a thing because all the efforts will remain the norm…Democrats=lots of take=no action, no inhaling and no sexual relations….liars that do nothing and hate republicans. I love democrats ….focusing on media campaigns geared from vanity while republicans are entraperneauing, creating and making changes protecting our families and children.

This time the Headless Blogger has a better head than you, Sean.

Nothing like watching the “chosen one’s” campaign fall from its lofty heights to using idioms! I guess that you can only make pretend for so long before people notice that “hey this guy is just another liberal politician without a solid stance on anything” and start to drift away.
I love that the polls are rolling in favor of John & Sarah now, makes it a bit harder for the MSM to twist, Obama’s chickens must be coming home to roost! (ha Ha!!!)

more to the point…. google “George Obama” and see how O who tells us to be our brother’s keeper and quotes scriptures, helps his own blood. I am not impressed! Listen to him stutter when he is not reading a teleprompter!!! Mr. Charisma? I don’t think so.

Sorry Sean, I have to disagree. I think it was a deliberate double entendree, done in such a way as he could deny it. If it was an isolated incident I might buy it. But he did a similar thing to Hillary twice (Flipped her the bird). The pause for the reaction is a dead give away. When he is off the teleprompter he is a train wreck.

well, you know what? with the politics these days, they are lucky if i vote for either of them. why do candidates always have to backlash each other instead of running a clean race? they should both be ashamed of their actions, comments, and behaviors. they are supposed to be setting a good image while running for the office of PRESIDENT. i guess neither deserve office. oh well, too bad!!

Actually Obama called Palin “a moose shooter.” There aren’t too many hunters in Obama’s Hyde Park, although a Cabela’s opened up a few miles west of O’Hare, so there’s time for Obama to learn.

Deliberate or not, it is about time McCain/Palin supporters stepped back and let O! and the media do whatever perpetuating of this matter is going to happen.

Undoubtedly they will stay on it after “we” take that step back. Also undoubtedly, O! will produce another teaching moment to benefit those of us who want the electorate to see how unready he is for the presidency.

That’s what all of this is about. O! and his camp, and their supporters in the media, can’t help themselves from playing into it.

Also undoubtedly, O! will produce another teaching moment to benefit those of us who want the electorate to see how unready he is for the presidency.

So right, it’s embarrassing.

I’m afraid that I have to agree: (1) taken together with flipping off Hillary, the pig thing and the old fish thing appear to be deliberate disses of women and older people, respectively.

Also: (2) the Obama campaign has had a habit of looking for subtle–even unconscious–racism in remarks made by any of their opponents.

Live by the sword, die by the sword: either he meant to do it, or he isn’t quite the public speaker he’s been advertised to be.

Tardy as ever, but this is interesting….

From Politco.com:

“Democratic Congressman Russ Carnahan on Tuesday — introducing Joe Biden at a campaign event — ripped into Palin’s record and punctuated it with this snarky jab. “There’s no way you can dress up that record, even with a lot of lipstick,” he said. Later in the day, Obama used a variation of the lipstick line, though he was clearly talking about the McCain-Palin reform rhetoric. “You can put lipstick on a pig,” he said. “It’s still a pig.”"

Lets recap:

Obamamama just “happens” to pull the pig routine out of thin air days after Palin’s money quote. He then uses a mangled ‘idiom’ referring to an “old” fish (yet again showing his out-of-touch-ness with rural America, which knows that a fish doesn’t have to be old to stink). Yet earlier that same day OBiden is introduced with another lipstick reference. (and shall I even mention Misshell Obama’s “cute” comment a few days after that?)

All co-inkydink?

Hardly.

Obamamama’s pig thing was not some random slip up. It was a snide personal attack tactic obviously discussed and OK’d by the Obama campaign.

They thought they being cute.
