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."

No, imagine if he called him a monkey.
That would be the precise analogy, and, you're right, the election would be over.
Thanks, FRiends, for posting the cartoon! I don’t have an image host.
A picture is worth etc. More people will get the message.
And the message is of course that Joe Biden called Toles at the Post on 9/2 with a wonderful idea for a cartoon!
“what if the muslim accepts Jesus Christ as his Lord, God and Savior?”
What will all the other Muslims call the new Christian, and what do they do with apostates who were once Muslim? That’s the real problem for one who would be leader of a nation, not his personal salvation.
It would be a hilarious way for her to get back at him!!
These liberals understand all about nuance right?
So Sarah should say something like:
“Obama would like you to think he understands regular Americans. ... In a pig’s eye.”
He says he has accepted Jesus. Isn’t that good enough?
It was good enough for the murderer on the cross next to Jesus.
How about we just criticize Barack for being a Socialist, big government tool?

Hi Eric,
I rather agree with you. No one knows his heart but he and God. But as a woman, to hear him attack Gov. Palin in the manner he did, makes me sick with anger and disgust. This attack went beyond issues and political differences to an attempt to destroy Gov Palin personally without regard to anything other than himself and his poll numbers. Rush Limbaugh refers to Obama as a man-child. It struck me this morning how “right” Rush was. There is more than issues with Senator Barak Obama; this man isn’t ready to lead.
I’ve also been asking myself why is it that he feels so safe to attack Gov. Palin. John McCain is his rival. Aren’t there surrogates he can send out to do his dirty work against Gov Palin? And where the heck is Joe Biden? LOL.
I think Michelle is back at ‘Potential First Lady Re-Education Camp.’
Oh my. What a picture! Where did you find that?
You know, I’ve decided I owe an apology to the female Hillary and PUMA supporters. I was unfair in my assessment of their claims to sexism in the Democrat primaries.
In my defense, despite following the election very closely, I never knew before viewing the links last night that Obama had “flipped off” Hillary not once, but two or three times, “brushed her off” his shoulders like so much old dirt, or his claims to his cheering sycophants that when she got mad, “the claws came out”. And why didn’t I know that? Because the lamestream press completely covered it up and didn’t report it, and I can’t look at every single youtube video that somebody links to me or I’d never get any work done (that last is an excuse, but a valid one). The media, so in the tank for Obama, filtered all that nastiness out of The Chosen One’s appearances to make him seem more like a new brand of politician. How many of us, even here, knew how down and dirty his campaigning was when all we heard was how he was so above it all?
Yes, we’ve always known on some level what a gutter politician Obama is, but he had managed until yesterday, with the help of a fawning press, to paper over his real self and seem like something else, something nobler that could appeal to the best in each of us. He is as real as those styrofoam columns where he gave his anointmen—er, acceptance speech almost two weeks ago, before he became deranged by the appearance of authentic change—Sarah Palin.
Yes, we knew he wasn’t ready to be President of the United States, we knew he had kooks, crooks, and terrorists as friends and mentors, we knew he would toss away anyone who threatened his ambitions, but did we really realize in what utter contempt he held women who challenged him? He could have risen above the attacks on Palin by the press; he was complicit in them (look at the Obama campaign pop-ups on every page of the Palin smears). He could have taken Palin’s cheerful convention jibes in good humor and turned this thing his way, instead, he acted the petulant child without the class to know when he’s committed a grievous insult to half of the voting population, and released the dogs of war (oh, okay, chihuahuas of the press, LOL!) upon a woman who had done nothing to him but be nominated by his opponent.
Obama’s response to the furor over the “pig” line is that McCain used it against Hillary’s health-care policy about 15 years ago. Uh-uh, that doesn’t cut it. McCain never used it against a person, but against a policy (as the phrase was intended to be used), and McCain never used a word totally associated with a female candidate just days after she made the word “lipstick” her national brand of female power. The insult was intentionally personalized, and every single one of those snarky, cheering supporters who applauded knew it. What that says about them is another topic for another day. But the willingness of a Presidential candidate to stoop to gutter insults to score political points, after the battering that Palin has taken from supposedly “tolerant” and “open-minded” “progressive” Dems and media is simply breathtaking, and not in a good way.
I thank God every day McCain had the confidence and shrewdness to select Palin as his running mate, and I lift them and their families up in prayer and support every single day. McCain’s choice exposed the poison in the belly of the political left, and in the vileness of their chosen candidate. The cost to their party, after this, is incalculable. As for Hillary, she was “done in” by her own party, her backstabbing husband, and the kind of dismissive treatment that no candidate, male or female, should be subjected to. I said all along that she would have been the tougher candidate to beat (which is why I hoped Obama would prevail in the primaries). But the manner in which Obama triumphed over Hillary should leave a foul taste in EVERYBODY’s mouth.
That’s my opinion; flame away if you want to.
You are dead-on. Don’t marginalize the PUMAs. They were among the first to see BHO exactly for what he is.
That would be like Ernest T. Bass at Mrs. Wiley's Mayberry Singles Social Club.
"How do you do Mrs. Wiiiiiley?"
Don't forget these little tidbits: Barack Hussein Obama may have been born in Kenya; he is 50% white, 43.5% ARAB and 6.5% black ~~ so how did he get into Harvard as a "minority?" ; he spent six years in a Muslim school in Indonesia and speaks FLUENT Arabic!
He told George Stephanopolis that McCain had yet to "mention my Muslim faith," at which time George corrected him to "Christian faith" ~~ twice.
I don't care what the man is or where he's from. What I care about is why he is LYING!
He's being backed by Arabs/Muslims, and you can take that to the bank.
Obama the nasty muslim sexist, now that won’t help him unless he’s hoping to lose in a LANDSLIDE.
