I hate to belabor the “lipstick on a pig” issue, but I think the BO got a taste of what he and his race have been dealing us for too many years now. I saw his speech the day he said the infamous words. I want to believe that he said them only as a humorous way to make a point. If that is not correct, then I have to believe that his speach writer had the genius to sneak this old saying into his speach as a deliberate attack on Gov. Palin with one of two outcomes: 1.) It goes unnoticed and he has sneakily attacked Governor Palin, 2.) if it gets noticed, as we know it did, he can cry foul and blame the McCain campaign for mis-interpreting his remark. My guess is that his speech writers don’t have the brains to be that devious.
Now to my point. If I were giving a speech and wanted to stress a fact, I could use a very old saying such as “let’s call a spade a spade.” I would deliver the speech with great naivete thinking I had used a tried and true saying to stress my point. It is my belief that I would be attacked immediately by the likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farakan, Clarence Page, and other notable blacks for being “racist.” I’m sure they would demand an apology, and reparation back to the first slave brought to the shores of North America.
I think what the BO got was a dose of his own medicine, and he didn’t like the taste.
