Dear Ms. Saunders, your comparison of apologies for pig and fish statements is incorrect (intentionally I believe). If anything Mr. Obama would have to apologize to John McCain for an "old fish" joke since nobody asked him to apologize to a pig for the other stupid joke. If you want to be fair, please advise Mr. Obama to have a better judgment when, how and to whom you tell a joke. The timing was everything. The joke would not have stirred any controversy anytime before Republican convention. Nothing more, nothing less. Don't try to fool us.

Ma'am; the only real insult was given by Mrs. Palin to all the mothers run ragged trying to keep their kids exercised and healthy; and this is not their job, but is an essential part of every person's education. Just as with other lessons children need to learn, if they do not learn it in youth they will suffer learning it forever. Unhealthy children become unhealthy adults and unless you can find some way to make them pay for what they were deprived of in youth, then it will be society that bears their bad health in lost productivity and illness. So, this is one more example of the niggardlyness of the rich and their government that all the people must suffer. The comparison of hockey moms, and all the moms who go broke and crazy trying to sheppard their children into good, healthy behavior, when it is not their job, but is the job of society- to pitbulls in lipstick, is a line written by some wimp with a hatred for women. It is not the truth. The truth is not something we can count on John Mccain for any more. Mr. Bush taught him how to lie to get elected; and now, the only questions are how far will he go and will he be believed... Thanks... Sweeney

I read the commentary by Ms Saunders and i can see she's just another rich white woman that has a personal problem with a blackman running for president. You know damn well Gov. Palin is not qualify to be vice pres as well as president. The Palin pick really is a insult to all americans especially the direction this country has been going the last eight year. But when we have people who say they're not going to vote for a person because of the color of thier skin where is the equality? A blackman can do anything( if given a chance) that a white man can do,matter of fact possibly better ,that point can be debated. Mccain saids he will bring a change if chosen, thats a joke and i'm not laughing. So we'll continue to be in some war no health care,no jobs,etc. while another white boy rides off into the sunset ,sips mint juleps and chop wood on the ranch. And America is in shock
