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."
It’s the main story on Drudge right now. That’s where I linked to Politico from.
Excellent, huh?
And then...wow. What fun.
Wow... way to score an own-goal there!
He’s just the gift that keeps on giving.
Could it be that Obama’s camp is really starting to self-destruct?
OMG - see this?
Wow the Politics of Division from the agent of Change... Come on Obama you know that Sarah Palin is the Change that we have all been waiting for.... Just embrace the Change... You have nothing to campaign on since all of your ideas are Marxist Socialism and you have never once gone against your Party line.... Get over yourself you big dope and vote for John McCain and Sarah Palin.
Correction
He is a (puppet) of Chicago gutter politics. He isn’t all that smart off the prompter. Add another percentage point to MAC / Palin.
No way! If he said that, it will win the most-played soundbite of the campaign. What an idiot! Where are the videos!?

At least he's not "divisive" like Republicans, LOL!
I pray there is...or at least audio.
It’s really just nuance. Move along you rubes. /s
EVERYONE,
Make sure you get this out to your local papers and everyone you know. Revelations like this do no good sitting here. Check your local paper’s website to see if they have forums, send letters to the editor, spread it around.
(example, my local paper has a forum-

)
Is this the kind of change Obama is going to bring?
I agree...he is rattled - but he’s been rattled before in this campaign. Particularly during the height of the Rev. Wright stuff in the primaries against Hillary.
He managed to “wright” the ship. These guys are better than the bozos running the Kerry debacle in ‘04.
I think though - for the first time in this campaign - the election is not Obama’s to lose. He has to play offense - which is risky - especially with a loose cannon like Biden.
You can see a change in his rhetoric since the new polls (which don’t mean anything according to them) came out.
I think that this fellow Schmidt will have a few moves up his sleeve - should be interesting to see.
Obama and Biden can play when they have a lead - let’s see what they do now that they are behind...I bet they screw up.
What an idiot! Where are the videos!?000
Bump both your posts!
SHOOT! Ain’t that the truth...can’t even do my shopping without running into the store, grab what I need and RUN LIKE HELL back home to get on FR to see what goodies Santa doofus has left on my puter!!! LOL! IT’S BEEN GREAT and I wouldn’t trade any of it!!
It was taken out of context like the Muslim faith thing. He was talking about raising pigs and going fishing while growing up in Indonesia. /s
