Obama gets ovation with ‘lipstick on pig’

LEBANON, Va - Democrat Barack Obama enjoys poking fun at his Republican opponents and their claims to being “agents of change.”

“You can put lipstick on a pig. It’s still a pig,” he said as the crowd cheered and yelled and eventually got to their feet.

“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 audience, which had a particularly strong reaction whenever Obama mentioned Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, appeared to enjoy the “lipstick” comment the most.

When Palin gave her acceptance speech at the Republican convention in St. Paul she joked about being a hockey mom, saying the only difference between a pitbull and a hockey mom was lipstick.

Yeah...well... you can stuff a communist into a suit, and it’s still just a communist.

The Messiah’s getting desperate, calling our gal a pig. Little bit of flop sweat there.

Obama hurled two insults. That's the sign of a losing campaign. Congrats Barry on that "jump the pig and fish" moment!

Attacking his Presidential opponent is obviously above his pay grade too. It’s hysterical that he’s having to resort to fighting his opposition’s VP pick.

That’s rich since his revelation that he is Muslim. I was under the impression that pigs were taboo to speak about let alone put lipstick on them.

You know, I was thinking today, there's really two completely different schools of thought in the United States today, and I mean two COMPLETELY different logic streams. The problem is that liberals can't see our perspective, so they fight with liberal arguments.

As to Palin, you will see them argue "See, she's so stupid, she didn't even abort her baby when she KNEW that he was going to have Down Syndrome."

We say "Yeah, THAT'S WHY we admire and respect her."

Puts the lie once and for all to his claim to be about change or hope or anything positive. He is just another gutter politician willing to stoop to anything to advance himself.

This man is a fool and a liar. He is of low character and very poor integrity. I have not had a dislike for him personally until today. He has revealed his inner self and it is that of a selfish, opportunistic, thuggish hypocrite.
