Obama: Lipstick on a Pig (Did he just call Sarah Palin a pig and a stinky fish?)
Politico ^ | Tuesday, September 9, 2008 | Ben Smith

Posted on 09/09/2008 3:36:33 PM PDT by kristinn

Amie Parnes reports from Lebanon, VA:

Obama poked fun of McCain and Palin's new "change" mantra.

"You can put lipstick on a pig," he said as the crowd cheered. "It's still a pig."

"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 crowd apparently took the "lipstick" line as a reference to Palin, who described the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull in a single word: "lipstick."

CAN they do it?

Pffft!!! Think Lautenberg. In their minds they are entitled to power, and rules are a "foolish consistency," an impediment to destiny.

That's two different members of Team Obama using the same rhetoric in one day.

Obama plagerizing Biden maybe?

jveritas has made tremendous contributions to this forum through the years and does not deserve any abuse like this.

Simply because he has a difference of opinion and judgment over whether or not this “lipstick on a pig” matter is worth a big fuss does not mean he does not sincerely and deeply care for our country, this forum, and for the defeat of the Obamanation.

There, I had to say my piece .... now flame away at me. :^)

Better yet, why don’t we all focus our energies on victory.

Bloggers on FR are posting about the issue. The McCain campaign hasn’t said anything about it.

The media is publicizing it so McCain-Palin can just sit back and take the high road.

They CAn do it, but they CAN’T do it....
They CAn replace Obama simply by saying “You’re Replaced!”.

Democrats have RULES, of course, but they ignore them, anyway, they way they ignored them when Donna Brazille decided AFFIRMATIVE ACTION was enough to Award a bunch of Delegates to Obama instead of Hillary, completely outside of the rules...

If they dump Obama now, the Deocrat Party as we know it in America is FINISHED, blacks won’t have anything more to do with them.

Funny! I have a Mr. Mplsconservative Jr. about to turn 12 in November.

He’s a political junkie already and is poised to become the next Karl Rove in 2024 or so. I told him he has to go through the school of hard knocks first, before he goes through the school of really hard knocks. :)

It will be interesting to see how this flies. I do think the McCain campaign should avoid showing too much outrage or offense, but simply point out that it shows Obama as juvenile and undisciplined.

Stay above fray, let this play its course in the public eye, and let the polls adjust. Palin will get her day in the sun later in the week in Alaska, and it should be a nice contrast to this pathetic nonsense.

Hi, we’re here live with Presidential candidate Barrack Obama. Mr. Obama, why did you call Sarah Palin a pig?

“ah, uh, that’s, ah, er, ah, uh, not, that’s ah, let me, uh, ah, er, duh, set the record, ah, uh, er, a, what I meant to, ah, uh,....”

Sory, Barry, we’re up against a hard break, can you hold on through the commercial?

“ah, uh, well, ah, uh, huh?”

We’ll be right back.

Don’t know if this was mentioned, but read this cartoon and play the Obama lipstick clip. He is saying it nearly word for word!
