They're actually protecting him! But for someone with no class, its always about him. What the Messiah wants, he gets!

Palin's lipstick comment is still fresh in the news cycle. BO should have known a comment like this would be tracked back to Palin, and he should have steered clear of mentioning lipstick. It proves he does not have the political experience to know that his political enemies, in the least, would latch onto those words and use them against him.

The press, and everyone else, look at speeches and extemporaneous comments made by everyone in public office to help them determine what they "really mean" - look at how the press analyzes what is said and not said during foreign negotitations, especially concerning the Russians or the Chicoms (yes, Chicoms).
If BO makes gaffes like this during a political campaign, what are we risking if he slips up as President? Are we willing to take that chance, just to "be progressive" and put a minority into the White House? Why not pick one of the many more seasoned and politically savvy minorities over BO (of which there are many)?

BO is not ready. His handlers are not "handling" him as well as they should - they are not "packaging" him correctly, or the bows and wrapping paper are coming off too soon.
