What Sarah Palin reveals about
Obama's character.
The reason the pig idea popped into Barack Obama's mouth is that Palin had used the pitbull and lipstick joke in her speech. Can anyone doubt that?
So Obama was using it as a jibe against her. This was monumentally foolish. And this raises questions about Obama's character.
Second, the character question it raises is not that he is a sexist or that he lacks courtesy. It is that he folds under pressure.
Obama has looked amazingly uncomfortable under the pressure that Palin has put him under. He relies on his cool - it is a core part of his appeal. So he looks bad when he loses it. During the Hillary contest he rarely came under any pressure from the media. When he did he reacted badly.
So the problem caused by Palin isn't really about Palin - it's about Obama.

Obama better carry a weapon if he can’t tell the difference between a pig and a pit bull.
