Intellect..Oops Did I Say That?!?!

After reading a article on CNN yesterday, for the first time I think Obama had a mouth fart.
While in Lebanon, Ohio, Obama these comments to say..

“YOU KNOW YOU CAN PUT LIPSTICK ON A PIG, BUT IT’S STILL A PIG. YOU KNOW YOU CAN (CHEERS) YOU CAN YOU CAN, WRAP AN OLD FISH IN A PIECE OF PAPER CALLED CHANGE, IT’S STILL GOING TO STINK AFTER 8 YEARS. WE’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THE SAME OLD THING. IT’S TIME TO BRING ABOUT REAL CHANGE TO WASHINGTON.”

Some are saying that the pig reference was directed to Sarah Palin. CNN is saying that it was in response to McCain for suggesting he can change Washington. The McCain campaign has already already called Obama’s comments a “disgrace” and demanded he apologize to Palin.

Well, minutes after the call, anyone with google was finding quotes from politicians of all stripes using that term – even McCain used it against Hillary Clinton once. I personally think that he was directing the comments at the McCain campaign as a whole, but this quote can easily be taken out of context.

In this case pulling into to the times were everything you say is so important in this political race, Obama could have done without the pig comment, and just went with the fish one and it would have been just as impactful.

UPDATE** Here is Obama's response to the controversy..

What do you think, did Obama have loose lips that day? Or is the media once again making a big deal out of nothing? Hit me up and let me know.

And while were on Obama, I have a mother, and a brother that have gone above and beyond for the Obama campaign. Here is the video of the "Women for Obama Rally" in Oklahoma City.. It's edited by my bro's media company Quinvest (What up Q!). He does a great job with the footage and it truly makes me want to make a difference in my community. (So, Please take a sec to see the the tremendous efforts of these women)
What was the last thing you did for this political movement or your community?
