It says Obama was talking about Palin when he made the pig remark but he was really talking about McCain's economic policies being like George Bush's. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Obama was being a total jerk. Perhaps Obama can run a counter ad that shows the same clip with its real context both to critique McCain's policies and his outright lies (at least in this ad). It is in fact a lie to say Obama was talking "about Palin" when he specifically referenced McCain and his policies before the lipstick on a pig remark.</p>EastBaySteveFri, 19 Sep 2008 14:55:42 -0000
