The controversy over the issue is that Palin had used the joke "the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull is lipstick" (yes, that isn't the actual quote). Now, just a few days later, we have Obama using this analogy, and based on the reaction of the crowd, I'd say that the majority of them were thinking it was aimed at not only McCain, but Palin as well. The time McCain said it wasn't as big of an issue because Hillary didn't say something like what Palin had said before.

So, people are upset with Obama because it really was a jab partially aimed at Palin's joke at the RNC.

 

That's just a crappy rationalization of what is in reality stupid political bullshit. They find something that they can get in media to bust his chops regardless of it's relevance or truth and so they do it.

Well, my opinion on this is that it was poor timing on Obama's part. If he had waited a while to use that, it wouldn't have been a big deal. If he had used it before the RNC, it wouldn't have been a big deal. But using it right after, when Palin said what she said, was very bad timing. Of course people will think that it was aimed at Palin, that speech is still pretty fresh in our minds.

I can't resist pulling your quote out of context and saying that "stupid political bullshit" about sums up this whole thing (and by that, I mean the crap both parties have pulled). =)
