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."
I wonder if he got the pig joke off the teleprompter?
“You can put lipstick on a pig. It’s still a pig. You can wrap up an old fish in a piece of paper and call it change. It’s still going to stink after eight years. We’ve had enough,” he exclaimed to a standing ovation.
I found this doing a simple search
The principal of an Islamic school has admitted that it uses textbooks which describe Jews as “apes” and Christians as “pigs” and has refused to withdraw them.
Obama is clearly not comfortable going negative, he got to where he is by giving uplifting speeches. He is definately out of his element now.
Obama realizes now that he is not ready, I think he always knew, but he heard too many people telling him he could win. He needs more experience, especially some executive experience, as say, Governor of Illinois, before he is ready for running for President.
He can belittle Palin’s experience all he wants, but it is clear that being the chief executive of a state has her better prepared for this stage of the campaign.
this was on Fox news just a few minutes ago. Yes, he did say this...word for word. Outrageous and he doesn’t look good...very desperate!
Thanks for the extra votes Obama!!
You forgot...WORDS MEAN SOMETHING! There, I fixed it for you. :^)
This damn fool still thinks the MSM can save his him.
“Did he really say that??????”
Appearently yes, the darn teleprompter must broken again.
I’m still reading the comments on the politico site. If he really said it he is going to be apologizing for the next 55 days.
LOL!
If only they looked like your relatives. ;-)
What childishness. This little boy is NOT qualified to be President of the United States.
Unfortunately, there’s no one left in his life who can turn him over the knew and spank the little jerk till he straightens out and decides to grow up and be a mensch.
This is now a WAR. MCCAIN and RNC need to challange these comments and make it an issue since the Naai media is stone silent. Imagine if Mccain called Hillary a pig or deadfish ? ? Cmon this is an outrgage. It is time to declare WAR against these slime ball socialist scum bags!
Isn’t it time?
He might as well implode in style. Tells us how you really feel Obama? LoL!
I think this Ramadan fasting is starting to affect him.
You know this is really a very revealing moment for 0bama. Not that he is a sexist etc., but that he actually lacks the maturity. He is a Senator for cripes sake, he has walked in DC, and still hasn’t matured beyond his Chicago roots.
Sarah, on the other hand, demonstrates the class, ability, style, and sense of humor for the office she is campaigning for.
Now I don’t feel so bad about all those nasty things I’ve said about the PIAPS.
