Ok, the thing we need to do here is get the audio AFTER Obama says the pig and fish comment. I read on a post earlier from a reuters report that he immediately started talking about Palin after this comment. Does anyone have audio AFTER the initial pig and fish comment because it would show that he was indeed talking about Sarah.
All I have found so far is the pig & fish video (this one with a clip of Sarah’s original lipstick comment up front)

Mark Levin ran the audio on his radio show. He has a good archive too.
Double hit against GOP
Pig - reference to Palin.
‘Old fish wrapped in paper called change” - that was a reference to McCain.

Obama Says McCain Is Offering Fake Change: ‘You Can Put Lipstick on a Pig, But It’s Still a Pig’
September 09, 2008 6:10 PM
LEBANON, Va. — “That’s not change,” Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., said of what Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is offering.
“You know, you can put lipstick on a pig,” Obama said, “but it’s still a pig.”
The crowd rose and applauded, some of them no doubt thinking he may have been alluding to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s ad lib during her vice presidential nomination acceptance speech last week, “What’s the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick.”
“You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called ‘change,’” Obama continued, “it’s still gonna stink after eight years.
“We’ve had enough of the same old thing! It’s time to bring about real change to Washington. And that’s the choice you’ve got in this election.”
Obama added that “it is not going to be easy ... John McCain has a compelling biography, you know Sarah Palin is an interesting story.”
The crowd booed.
“No, she’s new!” Obama said. “She hasn’t been on the scene, you know, she’s got five kids and my hat goes off to anybody who’s looking after five. I’ve got two and they tire Michelle and me out!”
