Update: Zee at Road Sassy homed in on the judgment issue, just like I did:
What the hell kind of judgement does he employ?
Sometimes brilliant minds think alike. Hey, Zee! How’s it been?
Original Post: Yes, indeed. Senator Barack “Exceedingly Good Judgment” Obama has reached new heights in his exceedingly good judge-iness! And once again he has blindly stepped on a giant, steamy, squishy dog turd.
So The Anointed One was hanging out with his homies in Lebanon, Virginia yesterday when he made this observation:
You can put lipstick on a pig. It’s still a pig.
You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It’s still gonna stink.
We’ve had enough of the same old thing.
Here’s the YouTube video:
It’s quite obvious that the adoring throng heard just exactly what they wanted to hear–they heard their beloved Senator Barack Obama of Illinois call Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska a pig. And they laughed and cheered and jeered and applauded and put on a classic display of the mean-spiritedness that is so deeply rooted in the liberal left.
Judgment, Barry. Judgment. We need a man in the Oval Office who possesses at least a modicum of that quality.
And that ain’t you.
Meanwhile, on Daily Kos, the kidz are urging Obama to refuse to apologize. But one commenter sums the situation up thusly:
I don’t think he should apologize, but I’m willing to bet that Obama never ever uses that phrase again during this campaign. Of course it’s a common expression, but in this highly charged race, with Palin being a potential game changer- every little thing can be misconstrued.
Obama was expecting to deal with a Romney or Pawlenty, and I think he’s probably finding it hard to attack a woman like Palin in a way that won’t offend those blue collar, low information white women he wants. [Emphasis added.]
Here’s a screen capture of the comment:
Eh? Those blue collar, low information white women?
Class. That’s real class.

Barack Hussein Obama is an egotistical, self centered LIAR, fake, poser and all around uncouth lout that wouldn’t understand politics if it jumped up and slapped him upside his very dense head. Obama made a deliberate reference directed at Sarah Palin. I don’t care HOW he tries to spin it now.
To the JUNIOR Senator from Illinois I say this, no one has lied, the outrage is not phony, it is very real, and even your base of Democratic women are seeing it for what it was, and they are beginning to see YOU for what you are, an empty suit, someone that is NOT the wonderful speaker they thought you were when you read from a teleprompter.
You are NOT being ‘Swift Boated’ Senator, you are having your own words used against you. Your own words, your own incompetence, your own choices in life, the friends you clung to until they became a threat to your run at the Oval Office.
Barack Hussein Obama is NOT the man for the job, Obama makes verbal gaffes that make George W. Bush look like a genius. I do not say that lightly. I am not convinced that McCain will be a great President, but I am convinced that he won’t be a disaster. I am also firmly convinced that Obama WILL be a total, unmitigated disaster.
Barack Hussein Obama, the radical Islamic terrorists best friend! Yeah, no lies here, just Obama’s own words, that *slip of the tongue* last Sunday, the one where Obama outed himself as the Muslim we all suspect him of being! We don’t have to tell lies Senator, all we have to do is listen to YOU lie, and then point those lies out!
