Lipstick on a Pig?

I’m a fan of Barack Obama…I’ll admit that. I think the guy is trying to run a campaign about the issues and he has to deal with this crap from the McCain campaign. If I didn’t know better…I’d think that the McCain campaign was creating diversions so they don’t have to deal with the tough questions that need to be discussed and answered? And the sad part is, when something like this shows up in the media, far too many people look at what the McCain camp has said and thinks, “oh my gosh…it must be true…it’s all over the news!” Watch below…

i find it sad. with issues like universal health care, affordable tuition, the two wars, the economy, and other really serious dilemmas on the table, it’s unfortunate that it’s distractions like this which get traction in the mainstream media, and quite probably in people’s minds.
I agree. You just know that lipstick on a pig is going to stay with him no. Come on Barack!
Might be a good thing if McCain won; then he’d have to deal with the coming depression and the Iraq mess.
We’ll that’s an interesting phrase because in every way McCain resembles a pig more than Barak. Lets see…. Politically incorrect but he did live in a concentration camp for 7 years which had a lot of dirt and mud, he is closer in size to a pig, closer in skin tone, and he can’t lift his arms above his shoulders which is also a quality of a pig.
It was unfortunate slip of the mouth. I am pretty sure that was not his intention to insult Sarah Palin.
I think the republicans are way over reacting. Extrapolating intentions is the essence of swiftboating.
Thanks
I like your way of writing. Really smart.I like your topic as well as your post.I agree with your all opinions given by you in your post.Thanks for sharing this in your post with us.
I don’t know alot about Americas politics as for one i live in the UK. But this guy seems to make a few rather funny but good points.
I live in Ireland and I think it’s hard to figure out if it was intentional or not. It’s a pity that this comment would detract from the main issues though. If he did mean it though, mudslinging is popular and effective but mud sticks Barrack!!
there is something that no matter which candidate wins will be able to change… and that is the fact that the US together with the world is going the fast track to long years of economical stress.
So I think for this time being it is much better for the opposition of your favorite candidate to win and let him BURN…

It might have been a slip up. But, Obama seems to slip up every day. Just yesterday when comparing campaign ads with McCain and who had more negative ones, he said he did hands down. Now, of course I think he meant to say McCain did.
Thanks. Really nice post.
Oh goodness — I’m so tired of hearing about all of this! It’s really getting ridiculous!
LipStick on A Pig…
And that too involving Obama…
LOLz.. love the Title. And i also enjoyed the vedio. great post; enjoyed reading evey part of it
This is a funny post. Lipstick on Pig
Chris, good to see a new post from you.
To be honest, I’m not a fan of either candidate. I truly feel as if I’ll be making the choice for the lesser of two evils. What a sad commentary on politics in our nation.
Please vote for the hope
And this is exactly why Obama should win. He calls it like it is, points out the BS in the ‘political system’, and then continues on to the pressing facts.
This kind of media attention is negative all round and unfortunately distracts from the real issues, but maybe thats how it was intended by the media?
It may be a slip up but when you are in the spotlight so heavily these slip ups cause big problems. I hope it isn’t too damaging for him.
This is really funny post! I love reading your site.
I’m all for whoever can tell us the truth and give us an outright answer that doesn’t change. There is so much going on in the economy that we can’t just dawdle around waiting for an answer. I’m with Jennifer on this one. Lesser of two evils. In my opinion, no one is ever right about everything anyway.
It’s funny because McCain used the same expression before! They’ll do anything to avoid real issues.
I’m not buying Obama’s tax cuts for the middle class, especially with this 780 billion dollar bailout going down. You can bet he’s going to raise taxes on everyone and that’s certainly not going to help my situation. My vote’s going to McCain.
I agree, McCain really needs to take a break from attacking Obama, because it gives Obama less of a chance to speak his mind about issues that are important to us.
Thanks that is a hilarious post.lipstik on a pig invoving obama in it. i too support Obama.
I’m just wondering when the ‘media’ will actually return to covering ‘news’?
I’m English and I’ve never heard that expression, obviously it’s very popular over there. At least you lot get an election…
This is very intriguing post and i love it!
hmm very interesting post , nice way to support obama “go obama go “
What are you opinions on the recent debates?
Watched the second Presidential Debate. Am getting quick sick of McCain going “My friends” and “I can do this. I’ve done it before”. He’s treating people like a bunch of gullible 13 year olds.
Obama 08… Get out and vote
So, Obama is currently leading. But who wins is just anybody’s guess.
I agree with your all opinions given by you in your post. You just know that lipstick on a pig is going to stay with him. Anyway i have no knowledge over politic so it’s tough to say. By the way thanks for the video.. i love to enjoy it…
I think Obama has done a great job talking about the issues.
Mccain has been attempting to distract and with the recent economy problems, he desperately needs a distraction.
That was terrible slip of the mouth
I find the comments just as interesting as the post itself. It’s funny how people can see the same thing and come out with different conclusions. Great post!
I like your way of writing. Really smart.I like your topic as well as your post.I agree with your all opinions given by you in your post.Thanks for sharing this in your post with us.
my grandma told me obama was the antichrist…i thought about laughing at her but i didnt want to get hit…. right now its just voting for the lesser of 2 evils….i dont like mccain or obama
The real question is: do you like to be screwed over by the color red or the color blue?
Wow.. interesting. Both the post and comments. Haha.
Nice expression, never heard it before
Here´s hoping for Obama!
Cheers from Sweden
I am pretty sure that was not his intention to insult Sarah Palin.
I found his comments hilarious!
Some Americans should just lighten up a bit
I am not a fan of either one actually - I wish there were an independant
really nice post..
I am a fan of Obama too..
i like also obama and hope he will win
There are more worthwhile things to talk about that bringing up the phrase “lipstick on a pig.” This election is the most serious one. America is facing a critical moment in history.
Does it really matter who gets in? They always look after themselves and the average Joe like us gets dumped on.

It JUST occured to me how much Barack Obama is like David Palmer from 24. Do you think it’s possible that the likeable, fictional character has paved the way for an apparent real life version?
I like your way of writing. Really smart.I like your topic as well as your post.This election is the most serious one. America is facing a critical moment in history.
obama was the antichrist. he did live in a concentration camp for 7 years which had a lot of dirt and mud, he is closer in size to a pig, closer in skin tone
in the end though, i still believe that people will make the right choice come election day…
The title of this post just cracked me up.
I think Obama has done a great job talking about the issues.
Mccain has been attempting to distract and with the recent economy problems, he desperately needs a distraction.
I like the topic and post I also agree with your opinions .Thank you for sharing this in post with all of us.
Sadly I can’t watch the video at work, but I agree with what you are saying. McCain has avoided answering too many questions, and it is hard to want to vote for someone who doesn’t make his stance clear.
One of the weirdest lines I have ever heard from anyone on camera!
