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."
Greta asked her what Sarah was like as a kid...book worm.
Greta wanted to know how sister found out. Sarah call and told her to watch tv and she wouldn't believe what she was seeing.
Sister always told Sarah that she was destined for great things.
Has been hurt by things mentioned on blogs. Hates to see family having to deal with that.
She's tearing up talking about see Track off...family gathering to see him off to Iraq.
HARVARD LAW DEGREES DONT MAKE GOOD LAWYERS! Talented Lawyers can obtain a good education at Harvard. Look at Michelle Obie’s writings, would you hire her? I believe you would not! Be that as it may, a Harvard Law Degree should be the last reason to vote for someone for President!
“Their supporters in MSM and commedians will say that we dont know how to take a joke.”
Good point. I think they could hurt themselves saying that too. As hypersensitive as the left has taught women to be, it will be difficult to change their tack.
They are so cute at that age!
Apparently he has taken to heart Cohen’s criticism in todays Washington Compost criticizing him for not punching back.
Tomorrow he plans on calling John McCain a “doodyhead”.
THANK YOU!!!!! That one has ALL the “smears”!!!!

Again...THANKS!!!!!!!! BTTT !!
I tell you, this is good for McCain, even if the media goes to bat for the Big O.
Liberal bloggers spend the next day or two jumping through hoops to explain the nuance behind the remark. Go right ahead. That’s what sunk Obama at Saddleback, all that damn nuance.
Mainstream media ignore it or explain it? Its already out there on Drudge. It just plays into the media is in the tank for Obama narrative.
All Palin has to do is smile. She wins this round.
Doesn't need to. Breaking news on FR. TOP headline on Drudge, and Fox news just played the video. That's about 20 million viewers already. Wait till tomorrow. Can you spell tOast?!?
Great quote by a Freeper: “Muslims always refer to their ememies as pigs”
Mainly background family stuff, when she (H) had a feeling sis (S) was headed for bigger things, how their families supported each other with babysitting each others kids, and the oldest son deploying later this week.
Pleasantly surprised.
“Hugh Hewitt just said on his show that John Bolton has been assigned to Palin’s team.”
She couldn’t have chosen better.
I’d just like to add, thank God women largely resisted their hypersensitivity training. [On the other hand, women were taught to put up with lewdness.]
Thank you for posting all of that (ya did good!). How emotionally draining for their family, he leaves on Thursday, right?
“They are like German Soldiers caught in a Russian winter. “
Good. Lets take their wool coats, and spray water on their uniforms.
And hope for a cold wind..
"Obama is really getting in a bad place in his campaign."
Ya think, Carl?! LOL!
Now....there is the Obama Oink.
LOL. Good one!
Funny how a single, careless remark can bring an entire campaign tumbling to the ground.
The "Obama Oink" just may be the one that destroys Barack's.
Yes, and from the way she talked the whole family will be there to see him off...along with a lot of media...I HOPE!
Excellent! May I use that as a tagline?
