"Lipstick on a pig": Was Obama talking about Sarah Palin?



  • Yes, it was a direct insult
  • No, it was an unfortunate choice of metaphor
  • I'm not really sure
  • What the heck are you talking about?

No, it wasn't even an unfortunately choice of metaphore.

I went with unfortunate, it best fits my outlook on what happened. He meant nothing by it, but he really needs to understand what will tick people off and place new issues he needs to address in front of him. He can't get his message out if he has to deal with these things.

I didn't bother voting, because the only "no" choice includes the lesser-condemnation: "unfortunate choice of metaphor."

If you're going to have one choice be "yes, it was a direct insult" (i.e. - intentional), you only show your own bias if/when you leave people who think that not only did Obama do nothing wrong, but this entire BS issue has been ginned up by the McCain campaign - and is false on its face - with no choice beyond STILL assigning blame to Obama.

And I'm betting I'm not the only one who didn't vote, for that reason.

I'd say the fact that you won't admit he made a bad choice of words shows YOUR bias.

Possibly so - but I'm not the one creating a poll which gives people NO option to vote for that kind of "bias" - and literally every other option (other than "huh?") allows - no, REQUIRES - the person voting to indict Obama in some fashion, even if they DO have such a "bias."

Ask the questions you want, you'll get the answers you want to hear - whether they are true or not. Like have you stopped beating your wife yet? Or "don't you think you're being just a bit defensive here?" It's called push-polling, not straw-polling.
