Did he include a clip when he referred to Clinton's health care policy as 'putting lipstick on a pig'?

This is really getting ridiculous.

You may see this as taken 'out of context'. However, we need to see it in the broader context of time. Only last week Sarah told the joke that associated herself with someone with lipstick. Everybody knew about this association, and Obama choose to say this. The saying has been around for ages, but the context is new. That's the reason this ad might potentially be powerful.
