Carl Cameron says Obama will speak about his comments shortly. Fox will carry whatever he says live.
Okay, but as long as they promise to cut away to a Palin stump speech if he gets too long winded.
please delete, duplicate, thanks.
McCain needs another ad that shows Obama giving the finger to Hillary and then the pig line. It would clearly show Obama is playing Jr. High School games instead of being presidential.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I meant no offense. My remarks were not directed at Gov. Palin. For the life of me, I don’t understand why she’s whining like a little girl about the whole thing. I think the core problem here is that a bunch of racists don’t want me to be president.”
Will BO quote what the “prophet” says about piggies ?
Obama is about to crack...where is blowhard Biden?
Time for Schmidt to go for the kill.
I hope he steps in it some more.
If the fool hadn't hated Mrs. Clinton so much, we wouldn't be having this conservation.
I wonder if he will also address the time when he gave Hillary the finger?

No clarifications necessary.
The fact he has to talk about this at all shows how poorly his campaign is going. He’s spent more time reacting to things like magazine covers, expose’ books, and stupid comments than anything else. He’s a disaster.
Virginia ...home of the “macaca” and the “pig” gaffes.
EXCELLENT IDEA!! He can say what he wants, the horse is already out of the barn.
Just in time for Rush. hehe. If the guy had sense he would wait till 2:55 or not do it at all.
Rush is going to have a field day with this. I dont listen every day, but days like this are made for listening to him.
Tarpon, can you please post the picture, it is not coming up on my work computer.
PLEEEAAASSEEEEEE
“If you’re explaining, you’re losing.”
I’m loving every minute of this.
How many times have Republicans had to squirm over manufactured outrage? Think of Trent Lott at Strom Thurmond’s birthday party.
Give those dems a taste of their own medicine!
Excellent! Whenever you make your opponent “clarify” himself, you have scored big political points!
I cannot wait to see the weaseling.
It’s way too early in the morning for popcorn. Is it OK to substitute cornflakes?
I cannot wait for this, he’s so entertaining!
Time for a W.O.R.M.
What
Obama
Really
Means
“That’s not the Obama I knew...”
Pig? Grizzly bear more like it. And he’s about to get eaten!
Obama will just be lying about his remarks and the media will eat it all up. He certainly wont mention his first remark (pig) targeted Palin, and his second remark (old fish) targeted McCain.
Obama has basically fallen in the pig pin of identity politics.
He’s going to do the traditional “I apologize if anyone took my statement to mean something that it didn’t”
We’ve heard this line from every politician who’s ever said anything stupid.
Or he could go for the wildcard and say it was a botched joke.
I’m listening to Dennis Miller - 0Bama is supposed to go on Letterman tonight to ‘explain the joke’ . . .
I must have missed something. There’s footage of BO giving Hitlery the finger?
Sometimes you have to call a spade a spade.
(Holy crap - could you imagine if McCain said that when exposing Obama as a socialist? Jackson/Sharpton marches in every city!)
It’s a video, you can see it here

The Sweetness and Light site is apparently overwhelmed.
I want to know where he suddenly got the black accent? Did he steal it from somewhere like he did the cartoon comments?
“I was for pigs before I was against them”
Didn’t Obama sound like he was about to really lose his cool. It was like he wanted to start screaming about “whitey” and racists and the like.
Will he use this as an opportunity to re-plagerize that cartoon?
He and his audience knew exactly what he meant. Any explanation B. Hussein puts out now is just a CYA operation.
LOL!!!!!!
Yes! He’s on the defensive. That’s his soundbite for today—apologizing.
TOO LATE, the damage is done. If you’re explaining you’re losing.
The “plan” totally backfired on Obama and women around the country are outrged and they are sending in OLD LIPSTICK tubes to Obama...LOL
I never seen a candidate makes so many bonehead comments in such a short time. He is not ready to be CIC.
Really??
Her exact words - "How stupid of a person do you have to be to think that is a smart thing to say? I can't get to the point of being offended by it because I can't get past how stupid it was."
Exactly like the ‘finger’, exactly like the ‘bird poop brush off’. He does this knowing his thuggish, scummy audience will love him for being soooo cool. He’s high school and not ready for prime time in any way.
I’m sure he will be sorry that we were offended...
Obama, has his arms crossed. Looks very smarmy.
He has had the accent before.
Most of the time he doesn’t, but on certain occasions I’ve heard it.
Can’t hone in on an exact one, but I have.
You know he made me think of Jeremiah Wright, who puts on a show and talks one way in certain situations but doesn’t in others.
But to be fair, even Hillary put on a Black accent and so did Algore, when they thought it was needed.
LOL
Absolutely, he just lost at least 1 to 2 news cycles by this stupid stupid thing, keeping him on the defensive and off message even longer. This was just stupid.
I don’t agree with the McCain reaction to it, but that’s another story.
McCain should be playing an ad showing Fauxbama mocking the “drill baby drill” line, that show his true arrogance, mocking something 70% of the population believe in while you’re running for president... unbelievable.
The fact this Campaign is even around shows just how horrible Hillary must have been running hers during the primaries, because the Fauxbama campaign is the worst run in the history of Presidential politics as far as I can tell.
Big mistake for Obama, makes him appear defensive, another tactical blunder.
Some people interpreted the pic that way.
I have my doubts.
It’s a subject of controversy, not settled fact.
My 2 cents.
