I am guessing that since the New Messiah aka Barak Obama hasn't had
the courage yet to apologize to Governor Palin for his "Comments and
Characterization" that he meant his comment as it came out. You can
bet your life that Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the NAACP would have
been on all the airways if the McCain camp would have used a common
phrase "calling a spade a spade (with no malice intended). They would
be calling for his resignation from the Presidential race as well as
his Senate seat. So do we should we not hold the GREAT ONE to the same
standards as the rest of us (the not so elite) ? That comment by Obama
was not a spur of the moment slip of the tongue. It was well planned
and calculated. He made the delivery, paused for the crowd reaction
and then went for the kill (playing the audience like a puppet). I
welcome any talk show Radio or TV to argue this with me. What do you
think Sean or Allen?

Scott in Florida

He did mean it exactly as it came out. That is why no apology is necessary.

"John McCain says he's about change too," Obama told a crowd here. "So I guess his whole angle is: Watch out, George Bush -- except for economic policy, healthcare policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy and Karl Rove-style politics, we're really going to shake things up in Washington.

"That's not change. That's just calling the same thing something different. But 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, and it's still going to stink after eight years."

The incredible stretch to create a fake victim cry is pathetic. I think it is time to start handing a tissue to every Republican that I meet.

It's very strange. I always thought that according to the
Republican mythology it was the Democrats that were supposed
to be the whiny bunch, always claiming to be insulted by the
big bad Republicans. But in this election cycle, it seems
that a Democrat can't even look at a Republican without them
getting upset. Any suggestion that being a POW is not, per
se, a qualification for president brings howls of outrage at
the attack on McCain's war record. And now they're trying to
twist an overused metaphor applied to McCain's continuation
of Bush's policies into an insult so they can play the victim
yet again. They sure can dish it out, but they can't take it.
