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."

LEARN FROM "AIKIDO"

"When energy (either an attack or other situation with a possible negative outcome) moves toward you; by entering the situation intentionally you can protect yourself and move on to deal with whatever direction it may go. Using conflict as the situation, consider the concept of HitoashiYokete (“One Step Aside”): "Tachifurui mae-ni aruka-to osokuru Teki-no-ushiro-ni ware-wa tachi-kui/ I stand “Swinging a sword and attacking, thinking I am in front, I am standing behind the enemy." In other words, by deliberately entering into the situation you can move to a place of safety. There are several Aikido techniques that move directly into the attack, avoiding collision, and emerging behind the attacker. There is a similar teaching in the Shinkage-ryu sword school. The poem reads: "Furikaburu tachi-no shita-koso jigoku-nare Mi-o-sutetekoso ukabu se-mo-are": Beneath the raised sword/ is like hell, Throw yourself away/ There may be a way out or : “It is like Hell standing beneath a raised sword, be willing to sacrifice yourself, there may be a way out.” One can imagine the poet watching a leaf flow downstream only to be pulled into the rapids and then appearing later below the falls. Could this be “irimi-ho,” the entering method? A poem that reflects the fundamental element of martial art is probably the following by O’Sensei Morihei Ueshiba: “When an enemy comes running and strikes, take one step aside and cut immediately.” This is the fundamental theory of martial arts: simply step off the line of attack and execute the most direct technique. Unfortunately, this was probably written while the art was still aiki-budo and not aiki-do. Ueshiba realized that if you attack the attacker, you remain on the line of force. To be victorious, you must be the stronger. The poem’s meaning changes slightly to fit current Aikido principles. No longer do we “cut immediately” to deal with a conflict but rather we lead and control with compassion. We can develop this compassion and harmony by training in accordance to the principles of Aikido."

Freepers, I know, I know...long, cerebrium-teasing stuff I realize but with just the right kind of reply to Obama and Biden as they start to read their internal polling, piss down their pants legs, and respond particularly to Palin in typical panicked head on, Occidental frontal-onslaught mode, the clever Palin people will respond just enough to meet the attack, and yet turn Obama and particularly Biden's stupid negative energy right back on themselves and make national jackasses of the both of them. She is a natural to do this, because she parries the thrust just at the right level, and then with a smile, turns it around, stands behind them, and kicks them in their behinds. They will end up destroying themselves based on their ingrained, condescending attitudes they both have that are demonstrating toward Palin--but which the American people can smell from 100 miles off. It is steeped in both "elitism" (detached from reality and the little guy), and "entitlement" (Obama/Biden actually believe they were BORN TO BE OUR SAVIORS. When this is denied or suddenly threatened and the plan goes awry, all rational thinking goes out the door, they lose their strategy and cool, and start making all kinds of gaffes). This is what we are seeing. All the Palin people have to do is just move forward a bit, then step aside, and then let Obama Biden just fall right on their pathetic faces.

Another area they are going to get in trouble is attack the Assemblies of God. It is coming, only it will creat a huge grassroots backlash against Obama/Biden. But they are foolish, and seething with bile on their lips, they will make such mistakes IMHO in the next few weeks.

PS. McCain STILL sucks.

Why did he do it- this was not an accident ? Speculation ?

Any number of reasons.

The first that comes to mind is stupidity - a Presidential candidate is not obligated to spout the drivel given to them by their handlers. LOL.

As far as Clinton is concerned, this is serving her just fine. Setting her up for the clash of the Titans in 2012 or whenever. Clinton didn't want Kerry to win in '04 and now she doesn't want Obambi to win in 08.

yes, that is the best tactic in response. dont answer it with equal or more ANGER, but defuse it with a small slap to the ass, then dismiss it with a smile as foolishness, then move on...then it is Obama that looks like the big OAF and BULLY. Their numbers will drop even more.

Obama is a self-destructive guy. Cocaine, marrying a hateful woman, attending a hateful church, hanging around with hateful Ayers. This is just another self-destructive notch in his belt.

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

Lebanon, Virginia is near my hometown, right in the heart of coal mining country, where the Democrats are not the modern communist type, but of the New Deal/John L. Lewis variety. Obama is dead in the water there, and the folks at this rally were probably liberal college kids from outside the area. Even my hard core New Deal Democrat dad, who's never voted Republican in his life, is telling me that he will NOT vote for THAT man [Obama]!

Keep it up, Barry. You’ll deliver 42 states to McCain/Palin at this rate.

Maybe all 57, if we're lucky.

This would be great, if you, wrote, as another poster suggested, ‘chauvinist pig’ on the photo in lipstick!

Because the democratic ATTACK MACHINE didn't like the way the polls were moving,,,and they decided to 'take off the gloves'.

When it comes to UGLY PERSONAL ATTACKS,,,

it DOESN'T GET ANY UGLIER THAN THIS!

Sickening.

Let's see if the MSM decides to 'spike' this story too.

Absolutely sickening and disgusting.

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

There's also another saying, "Never wrestle with a pig."

You could be right. Funny how ‘godlike’ BO was back when he went overseas. A lot has changed since then. =]
