I find it difficult to believe that someone who is as good with words as Barack Obama would make a statement like that without knowing how people would see it as a slam against Sarah Palin; I think he may have underestimated how people would react though. In general, I believe the worse problem for Obama is he has been off message and making careless mistakes since McCain announced Palin as his running mate. I suspect this is because he expected someone else to be John McCain's running mate and he was not prepared for Palin ... As we have seen in the past, Obama is great when he is well prepared but not very good when he is responding on the fly.
