Fox News Headline: Barack Hussein Obama plagiarizes McCain speech.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

This is exactly what Obama said:



“John McCain says he’s about change, too — except for economic policy, health care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy and Karl Rove-style politics. That’s just calling the same thing something different. You can put lipstick on a pig; it’s still a pig. You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change; it’s still going to stink after eight years.



What does that have to do with Palin?

 

Hello?  Anyone?



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Nothing. That's not the point. The point is he said it, and in a world of sound bites, it was the wrong thing to say.

Actually, the real thing Obama is going to have issues with, is the entire paragraph. When your bashing your candidate every time you speak (and that's the mode he is in at the moment), you look like politics as usual.

He also has been, on many occasions, calling McCain a lier. That never goes over well in politics.

Maybe when he finds himself in a hole, he should stop digging.

I should have clarified, this was from Obama on Letterman, joking about it.  Obama said it's a common expression in Illinois, but he doesn't know what they put lipstick on in New York.  Then he said that zinger I quoted earlier.

Umm... I thought that's how he really did mean it. If that's not what he meant when he said it, what did he mean?

I agree with that.  Obama needs to focus on what he and the Democrats will do.  Even if it's true.

You said McCain wasn't playing with words.  When he takes that statement and says it is sexist, that is playing with words.

My question was really for the people who were saying it was about Palin.

He wasn't talking about Palin at all. He was talking about McCain pretending to be a new guy all about change, because he's been the same guy for 26 years. The old McCain was the pig, and the new McCain "change" strategy is the lipstick.

The general thought is that she said something similar earlier.  So it was a veiled shot at her.

Like when people say that by the republicans saying being a "Community Planner" is a bad thing they mean urban which in turn means black.
