" 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."

Say what will about Obama, but he’s neither mean-spirited nor (more importantly) stupid enough to outright call a woman a pig.
Right, people who support infantacide are filled with love. And of course he didn't outright call a woman a pig...He implied it.

Nice try though.

“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 a commonly used expression that was used in a certain context - and said in a certain way, that gave his audience no doubt what he meant.
That is why they started to chant “no pit bull!”

The lipstick thing was also being used as a talking point by other dems.

Everyone remembers Palin’s lipstick comment at the convention.

I’ll tell you what - I’ve heard this expression many times, but when I heard that from Obama - considering the context?
And then I heard “pig”? I immediately recoiled.
And so did many women across america.

BTW - Obama IS mean spirited - and he is also stupid.

Some have said a lot of people use that phrase, which is true. In fact, on TV the other night, they showed several clips of different politicians using the term.

The interesting thing was that, with the exception of Obama, they all phrased it, “If you put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig”.

Obama phrased it “If you put lipstick on a pig....................... (wait for crowd reaction) it’s still a pig”.

Because of her pit bull/hockey mom statement, Sarah is identified with “lipstick”, just as Hillary is identified with “pants suit” and Obama with “big ears”.

I believe Obama was playing to his audience. He knew they would pick up on his DOUBLE ENTENDRE .

The “old fish” comment could have been taken as a slam on McCainor a double slam on Palin or both in the fertile minds of Obamamaniacs.

Why would Obama need to refer to both a pig and a fish?

" 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! "

And to heap more insult to injury, Obama had the audacity to tell those who are outraged that it was " Phony Outrage " .... that should get women even more PO'ed.

Come on, it is a commonly used expression.

Yes it is. Usually with some context.

Did you notice that just before Obama used this phrase that Palin made a joke about lipstick and hockey moms?

Obama made his comment because of Palins joke, and it was pointed right at her.

Say what will about Obama, but he’s neither mean-spirited...

Are you kidding? He is a liberal democrat aligned with one of the most crooked vicious evil political machines in this country, Chicago politics.

nor (more importantly) stupid

I think we are seeing the falsity of that statement moment by moment.

...enough to outright call a woman a pig.

No one is saying he "outright" called a woman a pig. It was semi-subtle and his lipstick/pig statement was directed at Palin.

The story has no legs.

For no legs it sure is kicking Obama in the gaff pretty hard.

As the song goes " it's to late to apologiseeeeee ... it's to lateeeeeeee "

It's to late, this story already has legs and have won the 400 meter race at the Olympics..... and Obama will realize the agony of defeat.

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).

I have heard plenty of sarcasm and subtle innuendo in my life. I know the
difference between someone with their foot in their mouth and a remark intended
to be malicious. I don't need to prove it with a structured point by point argument.
I know it when I hear it.

0bama is a real chauvinist pig. With purple lipstick.

Yes, well, as they say, never wrestle with a pig...uh better not use that expression.

OK, Obama will lose when pigs fly...DAMN!

As McCain's economic plan will show, pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. OH CRAP!

Jeez, going with Biden has become a pig in a poke. GEEZ, help me here, guys. Isn't there anything a good Muslim misogynist can say these days?

I love the no legs comments . It's got legs a plenty. Explanations are useless . He said it , he doubled down , no mater what he says , he owns it. Something else to throw on the pile.

He meant it on purpose...I’ve heard that phrase all my life, but when I heard him say it, the way he put emphasis on certain words (like lipstick) and then paused in between (as noted for audience reaction), he meant it against Palin.

I’m a woman. We notice these things, because women have had people being snarky to them all our lives. We pick up on tone and meaning, because we learn it on the playground in elementary school. “Oh, I really LIKE your hair!” “Those pants are SO cute. Where DID you get them?” It’s in the surviving Mean Girls 101 book. Obama is one of the mean girls.

What proof do you have that he isn't mean spirited nor stupid enough...? Where's the evidence?

What’s the deal with Obama and his nose in the air Mussolini poses? Seems like every pic of him he’s looking down his snout at the people.

"he attempted the subliminal comparison of McCain to an "old” fish. "

You are being entirely too nice to Obama. I disagree that the fish reference was to McCain- It also was directed at Palin. When you understand that, it becomes even more demeaning......

Watching Obama’s body language at the World Trade Center, you could see he was trying to upstage McCain. The hand on McCain’s shoulder, as if already in charge. No deference to McCain’s military service and the meaning of why they were there. The arrogance, narcissim, overweening pride. Obama is a worse sociopath than Clinton.
