The lipstick defense

I just watched Obama in Norfolk explain away the complaints about his “lipstick on a pig” remark yesterday as “swiftboating” and “phony outrage”. I couldn’t help but chuckle.

The same guy who complained about jokes about his jug ears, the same guy who sees racism in every word spoken against him, the same guy who uses John McCain’s “100 years” crack and his joke about a $5 million-a-year income making an American middle class. The same guy who trots out the supposed McCain coded quote “…and did I mention he has a funny name?”

The same guy who doesn’t want us to question his patriotism. The same guy whose middle name we can’t  mention.The same guy who complains when we ask questions about his relationships with criminals, terrorists and racists.

The same guy who complains about all of these things has the unmitigated gall to defend his own words against a candidate by blaming someone else for phony outrage – and claims this turns people off from politics and distracts voters from real issues. He must’ve practiced the speech in a mirror.

This year’s King of Phony Outrage is outraged again.

Frankly Opinionated

Gee…..and I thought that it was only the followers of the pedophillic, drug addicted Mohammed that were perpetually outraged. H’mmmmmmmmmmmm, but B. Hussein Obamessiah isn’t one of them, is he?
I thought the “Lipstick on a Pig” description fit his likeness very well. Is not a suit in a closet just like one on him- full of emptiness?
Give the libs their way, and any statement made by a conservative will be offensive. Stinkin’ nasty Hippies, anyway.

Better watch out, because pretty soon he’s going to stamp his foot, makes his hands into little fists and hold his breath until you’re just nice to him!! You’ll be sorry for picking on him!

Geez, get him an Elmo doll or something.

Swiftboat–To tell the 100% truth about a democrat. They just can’t get used to the truth since they have lied/conned their way through life.

I watched the original “Lipstick on a pig” comment. He was obviously referring to Palin’s joke and he waited an extra beat until the crowd got it. Then he went on and talked about the fish in the newspaper. Now he’s standing there saying “Who me??? You’re just too sensitive.” Please… it wasn’t just the Republicans that caught it, check the reaction of his audience. He’s tap dancing around this like Fred Astaire on steroids.
