Obama: "Lipstick on a pig, still a pig."
(Excerpt) Read more at drudgereport.com ...
I’ll admit he didn’t have much of a facial expression this time, but I think that’s because he knew he was way out of line and needed to strictly fly under radar. But as I said, the audience picked up immediately on it. Immediately. The applause makes no sense unless the phrase had loaded meaning. And following it up with the fish comment was simply despicable confirmation. This guy is out of control and dangerous. Thankfully, he’ll do the harm to himself first.
YIPPEE! Now he will have to apologize and look really really lame!
He was getting the crowd quiet so he could set up these comments. Barry knows what he's doing and knows how to work a crowd. I'm sure they were tested on nut-roots focus groups and got a good response. They certainly did from the partisan audience.
They were designed to be “edgy” and “hard-hitting” because Barry was going to show he wasn't going to be bullied by the Right Wing Attack Machine.
He just focus-grouped himself out of the Presidency.
O’Really? just ran part of his 0 interview.
I could swear 0 is wearing something like a hearing aid in his left ear.
Very well concealed but still there.
Anybody else notice this or are my old eyes failing me?
[and wouldn’t a concealed shock collar work better to abruptly abort his “gaffes”, any way?]....LOL
Truth be told, ‘You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig’ is an old, standard, folksy way of dismissing superficial changes as changes. I don’t think it was a deliberate attempt to call Gov. Palin a pig. Rather what it proves is that Obama isn’t even the rhetorical genius he’s been passed off as. Anyone with a good sense of rhetoric would see that, in the wake of Palin’s self-depricating lipstick joke, the use of that metaphor would be taken as an attack on her.
And if Obama isn’t a rhetorical genius, what the h*ll good is he? He has a nice voice and delivery. Maybe he can take up acting and become the next Morgan Freeman. All he seems to be good for is reading lines.
What the hell kind of a wimpy strategy is that?
Better to go after Dead Eyes Obama full force now and depict him as the racist sexist vicious man that he is.
I guess Big Mouth Joe Biden has become Obama’s speaking coach.
Turnabout is fair play correct?
Could McCain get away with saying, “Black paint on a Carter is still a Carter!”?
Hmmmmmmm... think the MSM would go for that?
“Planet of the Apes”. Zira was the chimpanzee doctor that rescued Heston from the bad apes.
watching the link again that drudge has up - which by the way is only showing 276 views....Obama starts to screw up the quote and has to rethink and that is when the hand comes up to his head. He started to say “You can’t”
There’s not enough lipstick for that male chauvenist pig.
//They really are just a bunch of sheep heading for a cliff

More like lemmings they are, Obambi is their piper.
‘Come my little lemmings come... The cliff awaits.., the piper calls’
Yes, I watched it. It’s very clear, from the reaction of the crowd, that they all thought he was applying that old saying to Sarah Palin.
Thanks for completely misreading my post.
“shes got five kids and my hat goes off to anybody whos looking after five. Ive got two and they tire Michelle and me out!”
So after ‘punishing’ Michelle with two children, you now want to punish America as President!
Obama implies Sarah Palin is a ‘pig.’
Channeling your bigamist father’s misogynist attitudes about women, Bammy?
Oh, by the way I like the way Hillary is letting you ‘spin in the wind’ against Palin — chump!
STE=Q
Ah. And to think I loved that movie back in the 70’s as a 10,11 or 12 year old. I couldn’t connect.
Oh yeah, Bammy’s also in trouble with the PUMA girls over his ‘pig’ remark... Some even think it was a shot at Hillary

His glare can’t be any colder than Hillary Clinton’s. I’ll have to look at him. Lately, I’ve been turning away, but I’ll stop and examine his demeanor.
