Obama: Lipstick on a Pig (Did he just call Sarah Palin a pig and a stinky fish?)
Politico ^ | Tuesday, September 9, 2008 | Ben Smith

Posted on 09/09/2008 3:36:33 PM PDT by kristinn

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."

The PUMA's are a fumming! Here's one comment but there are lots.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He is comparing Governor Palin (a pitbull in lipstick,) to a PIG and stinking fish?!!

Is he insane?

No seriously, has he lost his mind?

Is he rapping with Ludacris?

You DO NOT SAY THAT IN REFERENCE TO A WOMAN OR YOUR OPPONENT!!

Please, please, I beg of you.

Do not let this man become my President.

please

It is amazing the PC crowd, feminazis, nazi media and DNC rats give this MUSLIM a complete AA pass for calling Palin a pig, but we cannot define this racist for what he really is. Amazing - - - - Everybody knows exactly what he is and it ain’t white trash....

Others have noted it was a DEM talking point for the past two days.

____________

Biden’s comments earlier in the day let me know that they’ve crafted counter language around the “lipstick” comment because Palin’s received much good publicity from her lipstick comment. This isn’t a slip of tongue moment.

I think we can say now Obama is practicing

PERSONAL DESTRUCTION OF WOMEN!

He did it to Hillary and now he’s doing it to Palin.

We need to pin this label on him so it sticks.

Obama gets ovation with ‘lipstick on pig’

LEBANON, Va - Democrat Barack Obama enjoys poking fun at his Republican opponents and their claims to being “agents of change.”

“You can put lipstick on a pig. It’s still a pig,” he said as the crowd cheered and yelled and eventually got to their feet.

“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 audience, which had a particularly strong reaction whenever Obama mentioned Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, appeared to enjoy the “lipstick” comment the most.

When Palin gave her acceptance speech at the Republican convention in St. Paul she joked about being a hockey mom, saying the only difference between a pitbull and a hockey mom was lipstick.

Senator Clinton needs to withdraw her support immediately.

If she shows herself as supporting this type of barnyard billingsgate, then she is writing the final chapter on her career as a politician.

I still find it incredible that anyone would have ever lauded Senator "Coke-head" Obama as anything other than a bungler. He has now more true blunders than any politician at a national level.

Anyone taking odds on whether Obama’s campaign died today?

You know what strikes me, what happened to Obama ‘uniting’ the country?

OK, this was intentional but why did the Obummy’s do it? To create uproar over Palin ? Why did they do it, there has to be a reason. I don’t get it.... ??????

McCain’s choice is brilliant. Osamma can’t stop talking about her.

Yes, McCain's choice in a running mate is brilliant. Obama can't stand the fact that Palin outshines him in star power and charisma. Obambi is actually envious - LOL. Envious and desperate. The veiled attack on the number of children Palin has was completely whacked as well. Whacked and totally sexist.

Put a fork in Obambi - that little piglet is done.

He won’t apologize. He’ll say he’s sorry IF anyone misinterpreted. The msm will accept that and afterwards, if we bring it up, we’re smearing him.
When clearly, he’s the poo-flinging animal that must not be named.

O’Reilly makes me angry. He needs to get his facts straight.

He said Palin’s approval rating is 65 percent.

That is not true. It is 80 PERCENT!

Because he is bitter that she is taking his limelight. Typical show biz envy.
