I could care less about the comment Obama made but I can see why people are like "WTF".

Go home and ask your wife a g/f the difference between when she proudly calls herself a pitbull or when you call her a pig. I'm sure if people looked at it like that then it would be obvious why this is such a big deal.

Secondly if you heard the crowed they applauded on that comment.. how many southerners have you heard cheer and clap when someone says "you can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig"? I'm willing to bet never or on some very rare occassion.

Point being is Obama is either a huge idiot or he's a total jerk.

1. Palins pitbull comment is very well known. Regardless if it's a saying in the south.. Obama knew she said that and had to have had some idea that people would take what he said and applied it to Palin. If he didn't think that it would get turned around this way then this guy has got to be dumb. This is politics, how can you not expect the obvious.

2. If he knew that Palin said this and said it in reference to her then he's simply a jerk.

Again, honestly I could care less about this particular statement but I think this is how the media and a good portion of American citizens view this.
