OBAMA IS SUCH A LYING PHONY!!!
Everyone in the crowd knew EXACTLY what he was talking about when he implied Sarah was a PIG!
I haven’t seen the video yet but it would be interesting to see the expression on his face as he said these snide remarks.
GO SARAH!!!
We owe them one for Macaca.
“Everyone in the crowd knew EXACTLY what he was talking about when he implied Sarah was a PIG!”
You have said something that bears further explanation.
It is not that Obama called her a pig, because he didn’t.
He very carefully made sure the remark was made in reference to the McCain/Palin campaign strategy.
The ‘trick’ was to find a phrase, that could be used, and had the word ‘lipstick’ in it. Then to use it carefully so he had plausible deniability.
And he did that. The important part, and the one that you hit on, is that it made the ‘link’ in the minds of the audience. The conception that the remark ‘really’ applied to Sarah Palin, was all in the mind of the listener.
It is a simple mental trick, and advertisers use the same trick all the time.
“I haven’t seen the video yet but it would be interesting to see the expression on his face as he said these snide remarks.”
Again. Without any foreknowledge, you hit upon another trick.
You could not see the expression on Obama’s face, as he said the remarks, because he put his hand up to cover his face, while he said those words.
It’s a ‘tell’, actually. Like when you are about to say something to another person, that is considered really risque. You turn your head away from them, and lower your voice some while saying it. You don’t look them in the eyes. Kind of pretending you didn’t really just say that.
