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."

Did he really say that??????

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.

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

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.

[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.
