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 hope there is video of this and the gop places it in an ad. The female vote was starting to move towards McCain. This should help give him a majority.

If they do, it's game, set, and match.

Not 13 year old punks but 47 year old male homosexuals!

So Obama Women who assert themselves are PIGS... Is that what you are saying?

[Mamzelle]

re: Wow. I though this was a joke. McCain and Palin have got to immediately demand an apology.)))

Nope. No whining. This is a job for Freepers.

This is just like John Kerry all over again. Trying to make a joke and he self destructs.

Keep it coming.

[Elpasser]

But don’t ANYONE dare make fun of Obama’s lips!

Palin should ASAP get her comeback lines against Obamassiah, about the TWO times that he AND "Plugs The Babysitter" voted FOR the "Bridge To No Where", with the second vote being a vote on spending the bridge money on Katrina Relief victims!!!!!

They BOTH voted for it A SECOND TIME!!!

I am mystified the RNC isn't running a NON-STOP attack ad, starting with his Snidelitle video, and or Sarah banging him over the head with it for at least until the VP debate.

BHO's SLAM with his smug "She was FOR the bridge, before she was against it.....I can't make this stuff up folks!!" Friggin' line. I've seen that video at least every 15 minutes in the last few hours, no matter what channel I tried to escape from it on.

Keith won't even have to "punch in" tonight, he'll just set the video on "repeat" for an hour.

Muslims always have this thing against pigs.

Yeah, they have quite a thing against women, too.

Obama is collapsing so fast that Lautenberg or Hillary may be called to the task before November 4!

[mainepatsfan]

This is just like John Kerry all over again. Trying to make a joke and he self destructs.

Yeah but in Kerry's case it was after he'd already lost the Presidency.

[muawiyah]

Is Beckel gay too? You’d never guess.

[EnglishOnly]

I wasn’t going to vote for McCain before Palin came to town!

I will vote for Palin!

The “Drive-By Media” is going Bye-BY!

Obama was a flash in the Pan.......he’s finished now.

Palin is the Real Thing!

[ArcadeQuarters]

You can put a sexist in a suit but he’s still Obama.

[RoseofTexas]

Was this done behind closed doors ala SF style?? If so, PLEASE LORD there be a voice tape!

[ari-freedom]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sunmars]

Well talk about landing yourself in the chit, he thought he would try and do what he did to Hillary with the middle finger scratch and he’s going to get ass handed to him on this one.

Every woman knows this comment, its been used in every male chauvanists repetoire for years, all women have heard it and thats why Obama is going to have major trouble out of this.

[Ladysmith]

His church taught him well, didn’t it?
