the John McCain-Sarah Palin policies don’t represent change, they’re “just calling the same thing something different.”
“You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig,”.
The first thing that jumps out at me is the sexism. The second thing that jumps out is that Barack must really hate Sarah Palin to call her a pig, since Muslims hate pigs.
One has to wonder about the left constantly saying Barack Obama is a great speaker. Maybe I've fallen into the trap of believing this too. He actually isn't all that good at speaking unless he's got a teleprompter and a captive audience. Any time he tries to make an "Off The Script" remark, it always starts with him saying 'UHHHHHH DUHHHHHHH" with a few "UHHHHHHHHHHHHHS" thrown inbetween, just so you know his teeny little brain is working on a response. Every so often he throws out something that is idiotic like calling Sarah Palin a pig, insulting small town folk, or praising terrorists.
So I think it's time we got rid of the 'common knowledge' assumption that Obama is a good speaker. He's good at reading a script. He's an excellent actor. He could probably earn a great deal of money with a sitcom based on his presidential campaign. I'm sure UPN is looking to add to their fall lineup.

I think it depends on your definition of a good speaker if you call Barack Obama a good speaker or not. I mean how many speeches by public figures are given today without a teleprompter?

Palin gave hers while having teleprompter trouble. McCain actually does better in Q+A than reading off a teleprompter.
I won't take away from Obama that he's a good reader.

Still why would'nt you call someone who uses the teleprompter to great effect to deliver the message a good speaker?
At the end of the day it is about how you delivered wich message.
And Obama certainly delivers on that part.
My friends!
Maybe Obama's Jewish--like Jesus! Obama's Jesus!
He'll win over the Fundies in no time.
lol that lipstick on a pig thing is just an expression. Its a bit of a stretch to connect the two.
holy crap, you're batshit insane
I think it was an excellent move by Obama to get in a subtle dig that he can still say that McCain used the same phrase so why is it sexist ect
Clever IMO

Wow, you're sure chucking some verbal spears at me there. If you really want to call a spade a spade though, you must admit that one can use expressions to imply other meanings, including discrimantory ones.
