Lipstick, pigs and the rest of the madness

I am so sick and tried off all this "political hugwash" going on. I actually have forgotten what country that I am in. Is this the USA, or are we in some 3 rd world country? What happened to the intelligent Americans who gave us witty humor in shows such as Seinfeld (never a fan), Curb Your Enthusiasm? I am referring to the "Lipstick on a pig" statement made by Obama in a recent speech. I listened and I read what his statement was and nowhere did I think of Sarah Palin. In fact it is sad that her party made that assumption based on an analogy. We should be smart enough to distinguish between an analogy and a direct jab. The minute I heard the statement, my fairly intelligent brain deducted that he was talking about the present administrations failed policies and McCain's intent on doing the same thing, just calling it something different. America is lagging in science, maths and basic knowledge to countries that should be grateful if the United States even looked at them. We are so caught up in Tom Brady's injury or Britney Spears comeback or if Angelina Jolie will continue to have kids, that we have forgotten what is important.

We need to get America back to producing our own products and leading the rest of the world. The only guy who has even hinted at doing this, is Barrak Obama and it would be a shame if we let our racism dictate the next election. If Obama where a 100%white man, this election would not even be close. But it is obvious that a lot white people have a problem voting for a black man.
