Obama Response to Lipstick on a Pig

Let me just say that Obama nailed my thoughts on this made up issue by the McCain campaign.

Well it is pretty clear to me that one of the candidates is talking about the issues while the other is hiding behind the skirt of his Vice President and her love of lipstick. Can we talk about the issues or is the McCain plan for America to tell us more reasons to hate, hide, coddle, and be very much afraid. That is not the future my World War II father fought for, it isn't the future that any veteran fought for. When John McCain is talking about WMD's from this point forward in time, it is defined as Weapons of Mass Distraction from the reall issues we need to confront in America. If you want change in America then you have to listen to the only guy actually talking about the issues and that is Barack Obama.

McCain Lipstick on a Pig Ad

Be forewarned that if you use the term Lipstick on a Pig in any conversation or speech the Republican Party is going to call you on it because it is a direct reference to Sarah Palin whom apparently invented Lipstick. In the latest Republican smoke and mirrors smear campaign, Barrack Obama called a pig with lipstick still a pig when comparing the positions of George Bush that John McCain still supports 90% of the time. Warning to Revlon and Maybeline, McCain is watching you and you better watch your lipstick commercial comments closely.

Typical Rovian bait and switch election tactics to keep the media from talking about the real issues which is something McCain can not offer much in comparison to Obama.

As for the Lipstick on a Pig comment, it's okay for Republicans to use the phrase over and over again when bashing Democrat programs but if you happen to be a Democrat that uses it, it is a sexist comment against Sarah Palin? John McCain has used this phrase over and over again himself and if he approved the advertisement then he himself is a hypocrite and a sexist. If it was okay for John McCain to use the phrase, have a senior campaign official that authored a book titled "Lipstick on a Pig" then it is okay to use the advice from that book in political debate if you are a Democrat! This is getting close to the debate of an Irishman can call another Irishman a Mick, but don't you dare use the phrase "Mick" if you are an Englishman? What really comes off in this issue when you honestly think about it is the fact that John McCain is racist against Obama if he approved any advertisement using this as an issue.

Over at MSNBC they have this from Chris Matthews...

Can we be grown ups and get to the issues rather than the Bush style nanny tattle tale politics of McCain? Kudos go to Chris Matthews for telling the truth and calling the Republican's on the carpet for playing games instead of facing the issues America needs to face.
