Poor Obamessiah Misconstrued Again
You almost have to commiserate with the Obamessiah, the way people immediately construe his insults as hostile. First they jumped to the conclusion that his "lipstick on a pig" jibe referred to Sarah Palin. Now, from the somewhat salty Daily Mash:
Democratic candidate Barak Obama last night claimed he was quoted out of context after describing Governor Sarah Palin as a "creationist psycho bitch."
He dismissed the "phony outrage" of the Republican camp, insisting the remark was not intended to do anything other than draw attention to Governor Palin's insane beliefs and ugly, bitch-like qualities.
Senator Obama said: "I was simply implying what a stupid, horrible, terrifying freak she is. I can't help it if people decide to take that literally."
Some people just can't grasp the subtlety of nuance.
Senator Obama refused to apologize to the Governor, insisting it would take too long to translate the words into her "retarded hillbilly language."
Besides, if Palin's feelings were hurt, she could just cling to guns and religion for solace.
On a tip from Obnoxio the Clown.
Update:
In case it isn't obvious, this story is a spoof. "Salty" might be understating the language at the Daily Mash.

I assume the daily mash is sort of a profane version of the onion.

Is that the UK version of THE ONION? Pretty funny. Though its likely Obama has thought similar words in recent days - but just hasnt spoken them out loud. If he did, his poll numbers would sink lower than Congress.

Why are you posting a fake site as if it's real, especially with the profanity? This is going to look like you were seriously reporting it, and harm your credibility.
This link should go. You aren't DailyKos, it isn't funny, and it's going to backfire.

Yeah, VH... might want to let people know up front the site's a spoof. Otherwise you're gonna catch hell from all sides on this one. Funny article, though!

I don't misunderstand Obama at all. As a matter of fact, I undertsand him completely.
He wants to cut taxes for people that do not pay taxes.
He longs for Robinhood economics.
He believes America is wrong and should apologize to the rest of the world.
He is as much a surrender monkey as the average Frenchman.
He is proud of his friends; Ayers, Wright, Rezko, etc. People that the rest of the country think are doucheswillers.
I could go on and on and I am sure you all could as well.
