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.

You know how it is, those that are muslim do not like pigs.
Maybe thats what scares him.
No! Reuters did not “get it.” Its tone was limey-bemused and did not comprehend how the words spoken by Obama could be used against him.
I’d like someone to review that comment he made about people “throwing rocks and hiding their hands.” That sounds like an ancient Muslim comment.
You can put a one term unaccomplished senator from Illinois in a suit and make him the nominee of the Democrat party but he’s still a jerk.
Of course he did. Didn't you watch her RNC speech, where she said about hockey moms (herself included), that the only difference between them and a pit bull was...lipstick.
Anyway, if you didn't see it, here it is...

As Hewitt said, Obama's insincere, non-apology proves the point.
SENATOR O'MALLEY:
Thank you. Madam President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Senate Bill 1093, as amended, provides that no abortion procedure which, in the medical judgment of the attending physician, has a reasonable likelihood of resulting in a live born child shall be undertaken unless there is in attendance a physician other than the physician performing or inducing the abortion who shall assess the child's viability and provide medical care for the child. The bill further provides that if there is a medical emergency, a physician inducing or performing an abortion which results in a live born child shall provide for the soonest practical attendance of a physician other than the physician performing or inducing the abortion to immediately assess the child's viability and provide medical care for the child. The bill additionally provides that a live child born as a result of an -- of --of an abortion procedure shall be fully recognized as a human person and accorded immediate protection under the law. All reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice, including the compilation of appropriate medical records, shall be taken to preserve the life and health of the child. I'd be pleased to answer any questions there may be.
SENATOR OBAMA:………Unfortunately, this bill goes a little bit further, and so I just want to suggest…that this is probably not going to survive constitutional scrutiny. Number one, whenever we define a previable fetus as a person that is protected by the equal protection clause or the other elements in the Constitution, what we're really saying is, in fact, that they are persons that are entitled to the kinds of protections that would be provided to a -- a child, a nine-month-old -- child that was delivered to term. That determination then… would forbid abortions to take place. I mean, it -- it would essentially bar abortions, because the equal protection clause does not allow somebody to kill a child, and if this is a child, then this would be an antiabortion statute. … this essentially says that a doctor is required to provide treatment to a previable child, or fetus, however way you want to describe it. Viability is the line that has been drawn by the Supreme Court to determine whether or not an abortion can or cannot take place. And if we're placing a burden on the doctor that says you have to keep alive even a previable child as long as possible and give them as much medical attention as -- as is necessary to try to keep that child alive, then we're probably crossing the line in terms of unconstitutionality.
>>there was nothing wrong with Obama using it the way he used it today.<<
I didn’t think it was offensive either, but that particular folksy expression sounds pretty silly coming from the same guy who thinks they are bitter hillbillies who cling to guns and religion. I guess he is trying to learn to talk to people who he sees as “trailer trash.”
It was pretty clear what was being said. Obama is going to have to 'splain it all to the big boys who control the campaign bucks of course. No doubt Barney Frank understands it completely.
OK, the rats have now used “shrill”, “fish” and “pig” to describe/compare Palin, possibly the top three words to which women hate to be compared.
I watched Campbell Brown and a bevy of her women political commentators on MSNBC get really PO’d when they read the note from Harry Reid where he used the word “shrill” to describe Palin giving her acceptance speech. One can only imagine the enemies they have made since then.
If this is a "stand alone" I might give Obama a pass.
But not coming on the heels of the other despicable attacks.
I'm passing this along to my email list.
You’re whining about the Republicans whining.
Or hops in bed with communist revolutionaries who once tried to overthrow the American government.
From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
"FBI files from 1976, recently made public under the Freedom of Information Act, confirm the connections between Weatherman, Havana, and Moscow. Weatherman leaders like Mark Rudd traveled illegally to Havana in 1968 to engage in terrorist training. There, camps set up by Soviet KGB Colonel Vadim Kotchergine were educating Westerners both in Marxist philosophy and urban warfare."

Bill Ayers TODAY (April 6, 2008), from his own red communist star-headed website, begging to debate communism vs capitalism with Sean Hannity and STILL calling for revolution!
"Imperialism. I’m against it, and if Sean Hannity and others were honest, this is the ground they would fight me on. Capitalism played its role historically and is exhausted as a force for progress: built on exploitation, theft, conquest, war, and racism, capitalism and imperialism must be defeated and a world revolution—a revolution against war and racism and materialism, a revolution based on human solidarity and love, cooperation and the common good —must win.
We begin by releasing our most hopeful dreams and our most radical imaginations: a better world is both possible and necessary.
