Obama: Pork, Pigs, and Lipstick...

Was it sexism, inexperience, or just poor judgment on the part of Obama?

Was Obama referring to Sarah Palin when he said: “You can put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig.”

According to news reports, Obama's audience clearly believed his comment was directed at Sarah Palin:

" ...Many in the Obama crowd leaped to their feet in delight - apparently taking the 'pig' comment as a direct slam at Palin." (New York Post)

" ...The audience, which had a particularly strong reaction whenever Obama mentioned Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, appeared to enjoy the 'lipstick' comment the most." (Reuters)

" ...Many in the audience in Lebanon laughed uproariously when Mr Obama made his lipstick remark, clearly taking it to be a reference to the first female Republican on a presidential ticket..." (Telegraph.co.uk)

Obama said nothing to his audience to change their perceptions, obviously happy with their reaction.

Obama now wants to "change" his story, saying he didn't mean what he said, or say what he meant.

Perhaps Obama just failed to comprehend and understand the meaning of his statements.

Perhaps Obama's thoughts were clouded by the vision of "pork and earmarks" dancing through his head... while dreaming of spending your tax dollars on all his pet Liberal projects... thinking of paybacks to all his Liberal supporters... and imposing his Liberal agenda on all Americans!

Uh, uh, um, uh ahhh, uh, um, ah, er... as much as Obama would like to "change" the facts, one thing we do know is that Obama called someone a pig.


Perhaps it's just another case of Obama's POOR JUDGMENT!!!
