” Yes. McCain made a mistake by responding to the lipstick slap. This can get extraordinary exposure while he stays above the fray. This is a fat, hanging curveball that Obama just left over the plate.”
Don’t know if this is true but picked up on another site that you could hear some in the crowd chant Sarah in the background during the lipstick incident.
If true I could see why McCain responded. Otherwise I think Barry is provinding lots of self inflicted pain, and the very focused ads are making their mark.
That would be very important to spread widely if true. Was there any link or citation where you saw this?
Most of the liberals I’ve run into are insisting that he wasn’t talking about Sarah, and that he used the line “just like McCain” (who was referring to a piece of legislation proposed by Hillary, not Hillary herself. Legislation the likes of which is sometimes known affectionately as pork barrel spending projects).
I don’t believe that any thinking adult honestly believes Obama when he says he was referring to a policy instead of Sarah. The very next joke he told was believed by many to have been aimed at McCain - likening him to a stinky fish. In all honesty, I happen to think he was still attacking Sarah at that point - due to her Barracuda/Sarah-cuda nickname. It would make perfect sense, and is right up Obama’s alley when it comes to his pattern of thinking as further evidenced by his recent campaign ad, “1982”.
Regardless, the average American is starting to see what Obama is really made of, and they are not liking it.
