"obviously his audience thought was referring to Palin"
mind reading today, are we?
It's not the color of his skin I have a problem with; it's the thickness of it.Obama set those fools up
"Shocked" is he?
really?
THAT choice of words, that obviously his audience thought was referring to Palin; and HE doesn't understand why anyone would question him?
How en led to not be questioned does this junior senator think he is? Are we allowed to ask questions about him AFTER he is elected? To question his judgment or motives? Dude does think his don't stink, doesn't he? Condescending, arrogant, you name, he IS it.
Would have been better off to simply say, "The McCain camp has responded over the top, but I am sorry if anyone took offense".
Too big for that, I guess. Calling the media out for being Republican lackies might help; but it could backfire, as well.

You've watched the video, right?
The laughs and applause begin with the mention of "lipstick"; not when the actual kicker is delivered.
This is really pathetic on republicans part.
You're saying that unfortunate choice of words was a COMPLETE accident? The line from her speech that got almost the MOST applause and laughter, and there is NO relevance there? None? Really?
O.K.
Obama set those fools up
Now you're going to blame this on Obama? lol. The McCain campaign got set up. They didn't have to respond the way they did. Obama threw out an old adage with the keyword "lipstick"...that's it. It doesn't matter how the crowd reacted. McCain's people could have let it go but instead they foolishly jumped all over that hook and Obama reeled them in
You are right, I've never heard that expression used before ever....Oh, well McCain can use it but he's above negative campaigning. Anything to take away attention from the real issues. Non issue for me.
Anyone who changes their vote based on this, or anything like this, is a complete tool.
Nobody is changing there vote because of this; but, IMO, if Obama continues to melt-down, have verbal hiccups (My Muslim Faith), etc...it will cost him with independents.
I mean, what are those people waiting to choose a side if not for stuff like this?
People who are deciding based on crap like this is EXACTLY why we get crap like this.
as a female, i could not agree more with you.Women cry and about being treated equally as men and then cry and when they are.
well said.
Anyone who actually believes he was talking about Palin is a ing moron. There's no other way to put it.
Almost.
While it's pretty clear to me that he wasn't calling Palin a pig, it was clear to me that his use of the figure of speech "lipstick on a pig" was a direct corrolation to Palin's lipstick mention during her RNC speech. The crowd reaction confirms that, IMO.
Either way, it's getting way to much run, and makes me hate politics even more.
Except he's used the term many times during the campaign trail and the phrase has been around LONG before Palin opened her yap at the convention.
I realize that much of the political world thinks Palin is the center of the universe, but she's not.
I agree. It's almost as though McCain has become an afterthought...even for the Obama campaign.
It just shows how desperate republicans are.
Polls don't mean and you know it.
you're in denial Manny. Palin is the center of democrat attacks, and you know it. btw, it's fair ball game to attack her. However, it's no coincidence that the dems have used lipstick analogies such as, you can't cover her record with lipstick, to attack her.
The crowd interpreted what he said as an attack on Palin and to say otherwise is dishonest. McCain's attacks were over the top, but I can understand their oversenitivity based on all the over-the-top attacks on Palin.
We will see how it plays out, but Obama is now playing the victim which is a political strategy used by both parties.
McSlime has an sleazy, slimey, typical ad out today accusing HUSSEIN of calling the pitbull a pig.
anybody got the link?
She called herself a vicious dog. "Where's The Beef?"
McCain is right now riding on the coattails of Palin. She is the one who should really be running for office, not him. He has no personality or charisma and certainly could never carry a ticket on his own like Obama can.
And polls at this point are meaningless. Obama STILL HAS THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE LEAD, which is all that matters.
I feel stupider when things like this muffle out any talk of real issues.
Sad and pathetic.
How do you know he has the lead? Polls?
Well you shouldn't because this is the game of politics. It's not like the winner doesn't have to continue to play this game if he wants to actually accomplish anything.
Some words of wisdom from I guy I can't stand but have to admit he is a skilled politician...
"Suppose for example you're a voter. And you've got candidate X and candidate Y. Candidate X agrees with you on everything, but you don't think that person can deliver on anything. Candidate Y disagrees with you on half the issues, but you believe that on the other half, the candidate will be able to deliver. For whom would you vote?" - Bill Clinton
Damn, you're right; Kerry's a sexist pig!
I see nothing wrong with McCain's statement.
