His mannerisms before the lipstick remark indicate to me that he knew full well that he was about to deliver what he thought was a real zinger.

My belief is that he mistakenly thought that Sarah Palin had said 'pig' in her speech, not 'pit bull'. I think Obama, like an idiot, made the transposition in his mind, and thought he was being clever.
