Obama Smears Himself and Ends up In The “Pits”
No matter how Obama has tried to conceal his “pig in lipstick," comment, the smear remaining is on Obama. And like all good lipsticks, it will not wipe off easily.
There are three issues to be recognized when analyzing his comments of Sept. 9.
1) The contemptuous statements made at that appearance cannot be denied as being anything other than designed and scripted to be offensive to Palin and McCain. Lest anyone foolishly consider that Obama might simply have made another gaffe, the proof of this actually being a calculated remark that Democrats intended - and had already been used to demean Palin can be found at http://michellemalkin.com/2008/09/10/oh-nooooo-they-never-meant-to-liken-palin-to-a-pig/ .
This post was captured and presented on Malkin’s website, Sept. 10. There it is revealed that “pig in lipstick” attack began on August 30 at www.democrats.org named “The Democratic Party” website. This post was enlarged and posted at the FreeRepublic so a reader can clearly see the specific references “lipstick on a pig,’ and even “lipstick on a Republican pig!” http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2079347/post.
The liberal media can’t disprove that democrat.org post which, naturally, has since been removed from their site. And there is no way it, and Obama, did not refer to Palin, since the pig in the picture is dressed -- replete with pearls -- ala Miss Piggy! It was not a genderless pig. Did they really believe active, web-surfing Republicans would miss that post and then believe Obama’s remarks were unintentional?
Obviously Obama has issues with females in authoritative positions (who are not among his worshippers). That was visibly demonstrated by his inability to respect Hillary. Now he is targeting Sarah Palin. What a useless, fear-filled exercise. Palin is not campaigning for president!
2) Additionally, and actually more important to the argument that Obama planned to demean the GOP candidates in a personal way is by emphasizing that, in that same address, he attempted the subliminal comparison of McCain to an "old” fish. That is most assuredly discriminatory, unacceptable, and actually not even legal.
Look at it this way: You have been with a company for many years. You have been a dedicated employee and desire a promotion that is available. Your opponent is several years younger. Would it be appropriate for that opponent to refer to you as “old” when vying for the position? The answer is obvious.
3) What is another worrisome, possible offshoot of those comments, (whether or not one wants to believe Obama’s intent), is that the sound bite “lipstick on a pig,” can insidiously also be utilized by terrorists to poke fun of the Republican female candidate. It is known that reactionary factions of the Islamic faith strongly feel that women are inferior. And, in that part of the world, it is a major insult to call anyone a pig. Thus, Obama’s own words can be spun for their own propaganda purposes. Surely that sound-bite has not been overlooked by those actively working for the demise of the United States.
But why, in America, did this comment send Obama to “the pits?” The answer is simple: Most women are innately equipped to be attuned to the “little things,” that a person says or does. Men don’t understand this ability, (most don’t even have it). But women utilize this skill and it is invaluable to them..
It’s “little things” that are clues and help them judge a prospective friend, associate, and partner. It is not the grand, flamboyant acts – like speaking from a platform with columns, or promising great changes. It‘s the lesser details that indicate to women the true persona of an individual. Obama has totally shown his true self and frightened women about his potential. His condescending comments regarding the two women he has faced in this election have not gone unnoticed by discerning, analytical females.
The day after his statements Obama tied to attribute the resulting negativity to being McCain’s campaign strategy against him. Yet, it was the American people who furiously retaliated – to the media, on line, and even directly to the Obama people. The McCain staffers asked for an apology, but they did not initiate the surprising responses.
Then Obama tried to cover by saying he meant his sights as a reference to McCain’s proposed economic policies. In other words, McCain’s plans were the pig? Yet, even when he first made the statement, his own audience didn’t interpret that as the intended meaning. They enthusiastically laughed and applauded it as a slam at Palin.
Obama never, however, sought to explain his use of the term “old fish” that he assuredly meant about McCain and hoped would slip unnoticed in the feeding frenzy. Unfortunately, for the most part, he has had his way about that. But senior citizens didn’t miss it!
Of course, as with other blunders Obama’s handlers want the public to believe his insults are unintentional. But, the remarks on Sept. 9 were not gaffes. They were premeditated by a man who is adept at double-talking. Obama pretends to be tripping on his words so, if necessary, he can later claim they were a slip of the tongue and he is never held accountable for them. He figures people will excuse him, or simply laugh at him. BHO wants us to think he is just an ordinary guy who goofs up now and then. Or, he hopes people will say he’s just tired.
Often he inserts his notorious a-hhhs, and u-mmms to make it seem he is speaking at a common man’s level. This tactic for delivering a point appeals to those who have problems expressing themselves in public. They feel comfortable in his presence because he appears slightly nervous, as they would in the heat of the spotlight. They are forgiving of it.
But this is a practiced speech pattern that Obama tactically employs. He uses it to emphasize what he is saying. Detractors usually feel that his difficulty with unscripted material and that his stuttering, pauses, glances away into space, reveal his insecurity or that he does not want to tell the truth. They believe he is searching for words that will not commit him to anything. That probably is partly true. What is actually happening is that by making his listeners almost hold their breaths as he hem-haws he intentionally makes what he is saying more meaningful.
He wants to make sure people are listening. He wants his words to resound. After he drops the snide comment, he pauses – long - and flashes his wily, fox-like grin.
Just as some preachers continually repeat the same phrase over and over in a sermon so no one will miss the point, Obama utilizes his pausing and ah-ing style of speaking with the additional expectation that he can subtly slide in a memorable zinger without being called on the carpet for it. (It was an accident, man. Don’t you believe me?) Obama is no dummy, more correctly he is like the crafty fox in the barnyard.
So, why are these “pig in lipstick” and “old fish” comments important and not to be dismissed as inconsequential compared to the greater issues facing the country? Consider this: Could this child-like reaction of name-calling, personal attacks in a debasing manner, and immature innuendoes be signs of Obama’s typical M.O.? Will his future behavior when facing the challenges of responding to the criticisms of international leaders who question him and his decisions, reveal a bully? Will he use insulting words against heads of state to try and degrade them? He has proclaimed that he intends to “talk” to our enemies, rather than make a show of our military strength. But, insults are fighting words, and often arouse more contempt than a mention of our military might.
If Obama cannot run a dignified campaign without sinking to name calling like a kid on the streets of Chicago, then this is not a man fit to handle diplomatic matters from the Oval Office on Pennsylvania Ave.
There is the wise adage: “Watch how a candidate runs his campaign and you will see how he will run the country.” Obama asked us to watch how he is running his campaign. We are. And we are most assuredly listening, also!
Obama is a pig.
Come on, it is a commonly used expression. Say what will about Obama, but he’s neither mean-spirited nor (more importantly) stupid enough to outright call a woman a pig. The story has no legs.
It’s the old silence gimick...drives people nuts. SOmeone starts spouting crazy ideas at you stay quiet, let them wait they will continue to blather incoherently just trying to get you to answer. Hillarious watching OBAMA struggle.
Nah, it’s a Democrat “talking point”. It was noticed when Obama used it.
‘Mayors have some of the toughest jobs in the country, because that’s where the rubber hits the road. We yak in the Senate. They actually have to fill potholes and trim trees and make sure the garbage is taken away.’
Seems like he doesnt think much of mayors.
Obama's phony outrage is like the cotton pickin' pot calling the kettle black. Did that go over your head as well or do all your stinky Barracudas get wrapped up by the New York times?
Yeah and he never gave Hillary the bird 3 times when talking about her.
Why should we expect Obama HUSSEIN to treat women with respect??
We shouldn’t expect Obama to treat women with respect nor as human, because Obama HUSSEIN is a Radical Muslim trying to steal the Presidency of he United States in partnership with William Ayers and Bernadette Dohrin *aka the Weathermen”!

Well, the people in the audience who heard him thought he was....
The story has no legs.
He-he...don't you wish!
CA....
Start going to Obama rallies with pig snouts on.
I would agree with you except he threw in the old fish comment. We all know who that was directed at. He also gave Hillary the finger. You can’t deny that. He is the too immature to be even a Senator let alone the President.
The story may not have legs but every woman I listened to today is REALLY PO’d about it! Talk about “outrage.” I just kept my mouth shut. LOL!
Thoroughlypissedoff BUMP!!!
