1. Obama meant this as a dig at Palin, and is now denying it. Sort of a par for the course lie.
2. Obama didn't realize that the right would consider "lipstick on a pig" as a swipe at Palin. If this is true, he is too stupid to be President.
If you were to reverse the partys involved, the left would have this on the front page, above the fold in every news paper across the country.
How McCain has manufactured this hit on Osama er..umm.. Obama and how underhanded.... this smear is and is just more of the usual Republican mud slinging, while ignoring that they (Dems) are covered with mud (like a pig) Wait, that is what they are doing...and they started it.
