Lipstick, Sex Ed, And The World Wants Barry
Posted on September 10, 2008
By now, I am sure that you have heard the Barry lipstick gaffe
Obama poked fun of McCain and Palin’s new “change” mantra.
“You can put lipstick on a pig,” he said as the crowd cheered. “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.”
Was Barry calling Palin a pig? Only Barry knows for sure, everyone else is just guessing. The way I see it is (means I am guessing, too), Barry used the line, based on Palin’s joke “How can you tell the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick.” as a way of making fun of the line, insulting the McCain camps call that they are the real change in this campaign, and taking a personal shot at Palin. And then he could sit back and say “hey! I wasn’t talking about Palin, but y’alls policies! You people are nuts!” But, in politics, perception is paramount. How the heck does Barry think he got the Democrat nod? Sure wasn’t because of his stellar political record.
Regardless, Barry, most people know a veiled personal smear when they hear one. The Palinator is driving even Barry bat-sh*t crazy. Maybe we should let Palin debate Barry one on one once. See who’s got the gravitas.
Many on the Left are having their standard hissy fit over the McCain claim, and video, that Obama wants to force kindergardeners to have sex education. Sites such as TPM, Huffington Post, and Pam’s House Blend. The ad states
Obama’s one accomplishment? Legislation to teach “comprehensive sex education” to kindergartners. Learning about sex before learning to read?
The Barry Camp, and their Internet palls, are claiming that is not what the legislation was about. Really?
The criticism of Obama on sex education stems from his work in the Illinois state senate on legislation which would have taken the state’s entire sex education standards, which related to 6th through 12th grade, and applied them to all of K-12.
And, yes, parents would be able to opt out. But, why even offer sex ed to children that young? What kind of disturbed mind even considers that sex ed classes are appropriate for children that young? Well, disturbed minds on the Left. Basic sex ed shouldn’t even be taught till about the 7th grade, as kids are coming in to their sexual changes.
“But it’s the right thing to do,” Obama continued, “to provide age-appropriate sex education, science-based sex education in schools.”
What does Barry consider “age-appropriate” for 5 year olds?
And for the unhinged, spittle laced world view screed, Jonathan Freedland at the Guardian (the same paper that featured Charlie Brooker calling for Dubya’s assassination if he won in 2004) is the “man” of the hour
(Headline) The world’s verdict will be harsh if the US rejects the man it yearns for
An America that disdains Obama for his global support risks turning current anti-Bush feeling into something far worse (end headline)
Of course I know that even to mention Obama’s support around the world is to hurt him. Incredibly, that large Berlin crowd damaged Obama at home, branding him the “candidate of Europe” and making him seem less of a patriotic American. But what does that say about today’s America, that the world’s esteem is now unwanted? If Americans reject Obama, they will be sending the clearest possible message to the rest of us – and, make no mistake, we shall hear it.
No, really, he is serious. As I am sure many progressives around the world are about Barry. And, they are exposing exactly why Barack H. Obama is unqualified to be president of the United States of America, namely, because it is the most powerful position in the world, and we do not need a barely done nothin’ but write a few memoirs guy in the Oval office.

Obama: “John McCain says he’s about change too, and so I guess his whole angle is, ‘Watch out George Bush — except for economic policy, health care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy and Karl Rove-style politics — we’re really going to shake things up in Washington,’” he said.
“That’s not change. That’s just calling something the same thing something different. You know you can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig. You know you can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change, it’s still going to stink after eight years. We’ve had enough of the same old thing.”
Where’s the reference to Sarah Palin? There isn’t any. It’s a common phrase and Obama even explained the context. So common even John McCain has been known to use it.
John McCain: In Iowa last October, McCain drew comparisons between Hillary Clinton’s current health care plan and the one she championed in 1993: “I think they put some lipstick on the pig, but it’s still a pig.” He used the same line in May.
John McCain would be an even worse president than Bush. He seems to be trying to prove it by the dishonest way he’s running his campaign. He’d rather his honor than lose a campaign.
Helping kids protect themselves from sexual predators by teaching them the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touching. Horrors. And totally the same as teaching kindergarteners about sex.
You may like being lied to by the same people who put George Bush in office and lied us into Iraq but the rest of us don’t.
What genius decided it would be a good idea for Obama to go on Fox. He was a joke last night. Stuttering and bumbling through non answers. He will lose this elections in the debates

Obama called this “catnip for the media.” He may be right.
It seems the entire “Lipstick on a Pig” story may have been, at least in part, a diversion to take interest away from the the discovery by the NYT that Obama worked on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.
The piece is considered “unusually deceptive” and an excellent example of “propaganda” by those familiar with his efforts there, but it could simply be that the writer, Sam Dillon, is primarily a writer about education and unfamiliar with the political implications of the story.
Unexplored was why Obama seems to have left out this job from his resume. Considering Obama has been taking a pummeling for not having any executive experience, this would be an excellent comeback for Obama to all those complaints by McCain and Palin.
