Ok.. may I ask you ?
How did you and your friends take Obama’s crude and rude comment towards Sarah Palin “ Stinky Fish “ Did most women know exactly know what he was referring to in a instant ?
and ? as Obama attacked Sarah with it ? did they take it as a insult to you, your friends and most women ?
What were the thoughts and words that came to your mind once Obama spoke it ?

Great article

Actually, I instantly thought he was referring to McCain when he uttered the ‘stinky fish’ remark.

Didn’t even put ‘women’ and that remark together, in my mind....

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Yup.. I saw it.. and he didn't say a word, but, the audience knew what he did and responded to it.
Hillary's flipping the bird to Obama can be " Heck no, I am not joining your losing campaign after how you treated me and my women supporters " that is ? if Hillary had any self respect left in her.

NEWS UPDATE ... NEWS UPDATE FOLKS FROM NEWS MAX.COM .... OPRAH has refused to have Sarah Palin on her show.... let's have your responses please

I wonder if this was written by a speechwriter or his own words.

The fact that Biden also used the lipstick reference makes it a certainty it was not an off the cuff comment. No doubt in my mind that this was planned and written for him. It strikes me as something from Michelle or Axelrod. It had to be a big dog behind it; stuff like that survives the axe only when the poobahs think it up themselves and the sycophants rush to curry favor by agreeing what a great idea it is. Had a regular speechwriter written it, it would never have survived the first draft.

With Keith Olberman’s comments about the RNC’s showing of the 9/11 tribute to the victims, and Obama’s comments that they would not have done that at the DNC.
In other words... what Obama is saying is let's forget about 9/11 and that it was Muslim Islamic terrorist who hit the twin towers in New York or the Pentagon in Washington DC... or that plane in Pennsylvania.

Thanks for posting that. Until trading that I was giving Obama the benefit of the doubt that he was just repeating a common line. But now, maybe the McCain camp is right. And even if it was just a poorly chosen line, his audience took it as a slam against Sarah, as well as the old fish comment that followed.

[Between the Lines]

Every since Sarah Palin used the word lipstick, she has owned the word in this campaign and Obama knows it. Any reference to lipstick in the campaign automatically conjures up an image of Palin.

How about a bumper McCain/Palin bumper sticker with Palin's name written in lipstick?

[libstripper]

Totally agree with you. I’m disappointed with some of our conservative friends giving Obama a pass and the “benefit of the doubt.” </i>

You’re right. I was disgusted last night watching Fox News when the entire panel gave Bozo the bnefit of the doubt.

/. . .Fox is trying to be diplomatic or 'fair and balanced' as they like to say. They think we are idiots!. . .If zero did not intend to use the lipstick comment as a dig at the McCain/Palin ticket then he could just as easly used the age old adage "You can't change the stripes on a tiger"! Or even better "You can take the boy out of the hood but you can't take the hood out of the boy"!/

Indeed. . .and for sure on the last option here.

As for Fox News; send them e-mails often to remind them - that reporting spin'-as-truth is not fair and does not contribute to balance. Albeit, in this case, one can get away more easily, admitting to having seen a pig - just not one wearing lipstick.

Only Way To Remove Lipstick From A Pig

[FreeAtlanta]

BHO and his media water totters are doing back flips to try to wipe-off the lipstick marks. They protest too much.

They are a parody of themselves.

[FreeAtlanta]

A crushing defeat could also prevent the inevitable riots that would come from a close Obama loss or an Obama victory.

Prevent Urban fires.... Defeat Obama big time.

Well, us Republicans and I mean ALL OF US need to Unite.
We need to pray for John McCain and Sarah Palin and their families.
I have and will keep praying that ?
Obama/Biden/Clinton campaign fails BIG TIME now matter how many band aids they try to fix it with.
I pray that they : Obama/Biden/Clinton/MSM/LIBS/DEMS make mistake after mistake after mistake, gaffes after gaffes ( looks like some of our prayers are working ) ... that they keep putting their foot in the mouth BIG TIME over and over and over.
I pray, and hope, that Obama, on live TV in front of the whole nation loses it BIG time.. that he goes berserk, flips out in stage and they will have to get the guards to restrain him and take him off the stage..
The gays got upset that Sarah's church is praying that homos go straight, and I hope Liberals/MSM/Obama campaign get so mad that they go berserk when they hear about us praying for their totally DEFEAT .

What are you going to say Democrats ? MSM ? OBAMA ? that we can't pray ?
Last time I saw, in the US Constitution , it is our constitutional RIGHT to exercise our faith.
