Obama: Lipstick on a Pig (Did he just call Sarah Palin a pig and a stinky fish?)

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."

Come on, do you really think I would do that? That picture wasn’t OKC Federal Building that was Baptist Memorial Healthcare:

Words mean things...just words?

Well the McCain camp just sent out fmr Mass Gov. Jane Swift out to the press to demand an apology.

OBAMA IS TOAST!

[GonzoGOP]

It’s all that AND high taxes :) But at least we get to visit with all of our dead relatives at the poles.

[Mamzelle]

But the youtube I've seen doesn't have the fishy remark.

But it's amusing how he leads into it with a imitation of Wright's vocalisms. Pah-lus-suh instead of policy.

The fish thing is a deal breaker.

[Petronski]

Governor Swift, THANK YOU!

[Jeff Chandler]

No fish, but the pig part is the bombshell.

[mainepatsfan]

That was a quicker response then I thought.

[COgamer]

Wow... I didn’t think I could despise Barack Obama any more than I already did. He’s disgusting, sexist, racist, and pathetic.

And he just lost half of the women who still supported him.

[Petronski]

If it weren’t for Secret Service, I suspect MR. Palin would like to kick 0’s ass from here to way the hell over there.

Or perhaps MRS. Palin would.

The Old Testament refers to it a the “scourge of the tongue”.

The truth bubbles up from the depth of the soul and can't be contained.

BHO is going to compound it by lying/denying it.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Obama is making a mistake. I hope he gets nastier.

[Marcusofboston]

I thought the same thing about his obvious worry. His masters have tightened his screws.

[taildragger]

Same here....

I think it is over....

We have how many weeks to watch him implode?

[RoseofTexas]

ZEROama wants to throw McPAL off balance and is TRYING real hard to play offense, BUT this is the wrong way to play the game DOOFUS. This is the major leagues not your ordinary city youth league!

[BlessingsofLiberty]

....and Obama said he would fire anyone in his campaign that was participating in the vicious personal attacks on Palin.

hmmmmmmm

Well, I guess we know where most of the talking points for those attacks originated. Obama the thug...slip, sliding awaaay!!

[muawiyah]

Get over the Moslem stuff. The guy's gay. He just came out. Listen to him talk about a woman.

We must reconsier what Larry Sinclair said about him.
