He gave the finger the same way twice in the same day, giving the same speech in two different places.
Yet nobody except Freepers called him on it.

While I'm surely no shining example of expository light,
I don't believe I've seen you post anything worth a damn in at least a week.

If the liberal MSM (which is most of the MSM) treated Democrats evenhandedly, the headline would scream:
OBAMA CALLS PALIN A PIG!!!

The insult is especially stinging because calling someone a pig is the worst insult a Muslim can think of.
Ohhhh, yeoowww, ouchhh, what can I say, Obama/Biden has had a terrible Sept. and I really think they are both in a spiralling/decaying free-fall.......They will Loose this NOVEMBER, no doubt.......It's even worse, when HILLARY won't be the attack Dawg (against Palin for O'Drama)....YEEEoooWW!!!! Double OUcCH!!!!!!

Isn’t the “pig” he’s referring to Washington DC?

If Osama Hussein Obama wants to start name calling, then let’s start with what you call someone whose parents aren’t married - if anyone qualifies for that name, he certainly does!

This is AWSOME! What a blunder. Thank you BO.
I don't know or care if BO meant it the way it was interpreted or if he is just that whimsically challenged.
Either way. Good for us. Get every single inch out of this. Spell out the fish inference, shame the sexist lipstick carnage and feast on him about calling Palin a pig.
LET HIM HAVE IT! This has long been a democrat tactic to blow up a bad choice of words. Now the media may be paying attention.
BO is either going to have to apologize and admit he is not omnipotent. Or he is going to have to defend this as some shallow attempt by the right wing conspiracy to misconstrue his words. Either way, this should be good for another 2 or 3 points.

Challenged about how she could be sure that Obama was referring to Palin, Swift replied, "She's the only one of the four presidential or vice presidential candidates who wears lipstick." B U R N ! ! ! !
Good burn.

And props to the GOP for responding to this quickly. Great point. Lately the GOP has been all over every word and responded to the media before they even get the Dems comments, position or attack out.
Where have these people been?

You can put a designer suit on a muslim and hes still a muslim! You can shape, polish and paint a turd to make it look like anything you want it too. It is still just a turd.

Obama knew exactly who he was referring to... Palin.
He thought he was being sly and witty.
Remember he and Biden think that are so smart.
Lets push this to the media.
Betcha we get an apology from Obama before the night is over.

He won't recover from this. I was thinking the same thing of the "My Muslim Faith" comment. Where are the legs on that one?
Is this going to be an campaign season where HE will make dozens of gaffes, which will lead to one Biggy that does him in? "My Muslim Faith" was pretty revealing, and should be that BIG one.

To: Chet 99
This was a tested and planned happening.
Yesterday morning on FoxNews, two different Dem commentators* mixed up the phrase by using “lipstick” and “pig” rather than “pit-bull”.
Both tried to make it appear as a slip-of-the-tongue. With Obama using it today, it seems that yesterday's use was a trial balloon to see how it would be received.
--
* Bob Becktel was one who mixed up the phrase. I don't recall who the other one was.
