Do you think Obama would have let something like this slide by if Palin or McCain would have used a phrase that included ‘monkey’ or ‘chimp’ or anything else that could have remotely referred to a black person? You know they wouldn’t, and the media would be calling for their heads on a plate. Obama knew what he was saying, and now he’s paying a price for it. To me, it’s not so much the phrase as it is showing him to be a childish, petty, easily angered man. The McCain camp is being run brilliantly, and as soon as they believe enough damage has been done to Obama, they’ll move on.

Or, “It’s time to tell Washington to keep their cottin’-pickin’ hands off my wallet...”
Or, “But seriously folks, let’s call a spade a spade...”
The list is endless. And don’t think that their aren’t Obama operatives vetting every word and phrase that comes out of the Democrat camp.
