‘You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.’ (Barack Obama while campaigning in Lebanon, Va.)
OMG! The message is clear. Women are pigs. At first glance, this is how I interpreted what Barack Obama said in what appears to be an attack on Sarah Palin. Then I listened to the morning talk show with Rush Limbaugh on our local 560khz (AM station) that day. This is an old political phrase, which I thought had something to do with pork-bellied earmarks and wasteful spendings. As a lay person to the going ons with current events, if I were a Muslim woman or anyone who does not include ‘pork’ in their diet, I would take this remark from the next president of the United Stats as an offense. But I know what this ‘teacher’ is trying to tell us: It’s all forgiven. Let’s laugh off anything uncomfortable as ‘Barry’ has been doing and move on to the important issues. We need to hear how both parties address important issues from the economy to worldwide affairs and from free-will to security-sake.
