Okay, but as long as they promise to cut away to a Palin stump speech if he gets too long winded.

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.”

I hope that Obama goes on and on. This is a wasted day for the Dems.

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?

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!)

I want to know where he suddenly got the black accent? Did he steal it from somewhere like he did the cartoon comments?

I asked the Mrs., who is a very successful professional woman, what she thought of the comment when she first heard it.

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.

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.

Some people interpreted the pic that way.

I have my doubts.

It’s a subject of controversy, not settled fact.

My 2 cents.
