In all seriousness, I'm inclined to give Obama the benefit of the doubt and assume that this was not an intentional attack on Palin, but simply another example of how he tends to flub his remarks when they aren't carefully scripted.

However, I must admit to enjoying the irony of watching the Democrat Party, after years of race baiting and faking sexism charges to the point where we all have to watch what we see most of the time, getting hoisted on a petard of their own creation.


What does that say of the right that they have quickly siezed on the comment when it's politically advantagous?

I am surprised that this is really has some traction but people seem to be really pissed at his comment. I could understand if Palin was unattractive or overweight but she's not.

I'll also have to admit to seeing some irony at having Obama who said he was troubled at the Clintons when it was politically advantagous to do so. What goes comes around.

And points have to go to McCain. He very early on hit people on his side who emphasized Obama's middle name so he has some credability in going after Obama on this.
How would you feel if McCain said " You can take the monkey out of the jungle but you can't take the jungle out of the monkey."?


It's an old expression and figure of speech. But when your opponent is black it doesn't make sense to use it. I think he knew what he was doing when he said the "pig" comment and he was prepared to try and fight the next day they way he is today. I think that whoever is running his campaign is going to lose it for him if they keep this up. Whether he meant it or not it was a really stupid comment. They talk about what they are going to say at these stump speeches before they do it and I'm sure that the saying was brought up. You're telling me not one adviser including Barack thought that it was a bad idea to say that? They fucked up. Palin has them reeling and they don't know how to fight this momentum.
