Amie Parnes reports from Lebanon, VA:

Obama poked fun of McCain and Palin's new "change" mantra.

"You can put lipstick on a pig," he said as the crowd cheered. "It's still a pig."

"You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It's still gonna stink."

"We've had enough of the same old thing."

The crowd apparently took the "lipstick" line as a reference to Palin, who described the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull in a single word: "lipstick."

[Perdogg]

Did he really say that??????

[the lastbestlady]

What an A$$hat!

[xDGx]

Waitin for the video of this!!!

Obama - the gift of gaffe

[tioga]

without a written script, obama is worthless........which was this?

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

Kristinn

this guy is self destructing. They are like German Soldiers caught in a Russian winter. They are falling apart really fast and there is nobody in charge.

[mainepatsfan]

Apparently the crowd thought that’s exactly what he implied.

[hope]

HA! I love the smell of desperation from Obambi.

[DJ MacWoW]

I'm getting a whiff of desperation.

Attacks like this will only turn off normal Americans. Only the crazed libs will cheer.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Fear and desperation are never pretty. The new “history” books with Obama’s picture on the cover must have already been printed.

[Jeff Chandler]

[stockpirate]

With a written script he is still worthless.

[PeterFinn]

He called Sarah Palin a pig. That's a pretty strong insult coming from a muslim....er...I mean a member of the UCC.

[dirtboy]

Hope he never learn’s Nixons advice to never talk downward.

[RED SOUTH]

That is just name calling and is the lowest level of politics and voters will reject it. Die hard liberal hacks will love it but average Joe and Jane will hate it.

[housedeep]

ok freepers

here is the one big gaffe we have been waiting for....

now lets get to work...

this is not going to play well across america..it could be an early final blow..

start spreading this and lets look for video!!

im going to contact drudge now.

[Per-Ling]

This is a double hit: Palin = pig; McCain = “old fish”

[mainerforglobalwarming]

I hope there is video of this and the gop places it in an ad. The female vote was starting to move towards McCain. This should help give him a majority.

[Snickering Hound]

[Cheetahcat]

I guess giving Wright a bath to hide the Rot!

[IamConservative]

Indeed. Joe Biden is certainly the paragon of change.

Who is Obama running against? McCain or Palin?

[realcleanguy]

Now we know what Obamadon thinks of republicans during Ramadan. You know, muslims call Americans Pigs. Hum.......

[RoseofTexas]

HOLY SOB!! This guy is solely ramming his own ship kamikaze style!!!

[Dacula]

Where is the audio and video link? This is just speculation until there is evidence.

[sunmars]

worse than that he just called every hockey mom a pig with lipstick.

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

He is making fatal errors.

He is a student of Chicago gutter politics. But he does not realize that this garbage will not work out here in the towns between Columbus, Pittsburgh and Charleston. People are going to be sick.

[tioga]

he can pull the wool over a lot of eyes on script......but now that Americans have Sarah to compare him to.......well, we shall see.

[Charles Bronson Forever]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!
Them’s fighting words!
It’s war, people.
This commie just spit on our gal.

[palomonte]

just words...just speeches

[goodolemr]

OH MY GAWD.

Please let there be audio of this. This is the best gift we could have gotten.

!!!!!!

[muawiyah]

It is habitual among a certain class of homosexuals to refer to women as "fish", or to make references to "stink".

Where's that fella' from the back of the limousine when you need him, ol' Sinclair ~ something like that!

[mainepatsfan]

I don’t even know if Biden is stupid enough to say something this dumb.

[EBH]

Oh dear, he did not say that. How utterly childish!

Palin hit him with legitimate barbs and the best he has is to call names!

Oh wait...that is a liberal trait and tactic when they are losing the debate.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Yeah. They know their Obama Coronation is no longer a sure thing.

[housedeep]

someone just beat me to it.

its the drudge headline now
wow this is gonna get big real fast.

moderator please consider moving this to breaking...

[Shermy]

More PUMA meat

[BradyLS]

I’ll vote for Trigg’s Momma before Obama.

[PeterFinn]

Associating people with swine is a muslim thing. Freudian slip there on Obama's part if you ask me.

[Drango]

don’t say anything about his ears.... It’s racist.

[RoseofTexas]

Are you sure this is on the level OR is someone pulling our leg?? If true, NO WONDER the BEAST decided not to defend the BIG ZERO DOOFUS!

[tips up]

Nice. He called Palin a pig. Classy guy that Barack.

[NetSurfer]

“You can put lipstick on a pig,” he said as the crowd cheered. “It’s still a pig.”

---

I’m sure this will go over well with most women.

[muawiyah]

No, it's a double hit on Palin ~ "fish", and "lipstick" ~ both the kind of references male homosexuals make about women, and about what are known as "lipstick lesbians".

Obama is really shaken up to have let down his guard this far.

[BunnySlippers]

Yes, remember when he dissed Hillary by making the finger and pretending to brush off his suit while talking about her.

[mainepatsfan]

Oh the MSM ain’t going to like this (by not like I mean they know what it’ll mean for Obama).

[tioga]

oh, come on.......biden is still trying to figure out what’s wrong with what bambi said.

[Fox_Mulder77]

I’m sure his muslim brethren will love the pig quote.

[swarthyguy]

“The fish rots from the head down” - Michael Dukakis.

That worked well.

[since1868]

Desperate men say desperate things, and Im loving it.
