Barack Obama must be the dumbest politician around. The fact that he even used the “Lipstick on a Pig” comment less than a week after Sarah Palin’s convention speech (one where she said that the difference between a hockey Mom and a pit bull was lipstick) was a really stupid move. How could he not know what kind of reaction he would get? Could he be really that naïve?
Maybe not.
A better explanation of the lipstick remark is that maybe he knew exactly what he was doing. Believing that the press would back him up and give him every excuse in the book, he has slipped in an insult to Governor Palin, using the “lipstick on a pig” remark, and pretending that it was not intended as an insult. “Why, John McCain himself used that saying almost a year ago, did he not? It’s an expression that is used all the time.” The Drive-Bys have been scrambling to save the savior’s face on this one. But it’s not going to work. We know that he’s not that stupid. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Either Barack Obama is stupid, or he thinks that we are. News Flash, Barry…We’re not that stupid.
Funny thing is that this classless comment comes from Mr. Thin Skin. He spent the primaries crying wolf about everything. He cried that Hillary was picking on him. He cried that Bill was picking on him. The Clintons were ganging up on him, and it wasn't fair..boo hoo. He called our first “black president“ a racist. He would whine and complain like a little girl. Now “Mr. High Road” is caught in his own web of stupidity. He’s surprised that people are making a big deal about it. He's defending himself by saying “Who me? I didn‘t mean it like that!?!?!" As women desert him, Hillary is not returning his calls, and isn’t coming with the cavalry. Maybe it was because he sent that VP text 3 a.m.? His instinct to “rub it in” has probably rubbed Hillary the wrong way. She’s already designing bumper stickers for 2012.
Happily, McCain and Palin are not taking these attacks lying down (probably taking a lesson from the current President, who never defends himself, and gets trampled). I despised McCain during the primaries because would take every slight by Mitt Romney and cry foul, but now the shoe is on the other foot and I kind of like the way that McCain fights back on the smallest of innuendos. They have to fight back as quickly as possible. The press is not going to fight for them. They are lucky that they get any press coverage at all.
Hopefully, the egg on Barry’s face will linger, and he will continue to scramble. It doesn’t help that his veep candidate is Joe the human gaffe machine. It should be very interesting in the months ahead. As long as McCain-Palin continue to keep the heat on, they may have a good chance to win. The country could only hope for as much.
On a side note:
Feminists are really scared of the Palin appeal. I have gotten 2 email fwds from feminists friends warning the feminine sisterhood about Palin. What are they so afraid of? Do they really think that women are so blind that they only vote for women, never thinking of their beliefs? Funny thing is, that every horrible thing that they warn me about is stuff that I like about her. She’s pro-life (oh the horrors!). She’s pro-gun (Can you imagine?). I should have kept the email as an example as to why I wanted to vote for her. Unfortunately, I hit the delete button too quickly.
