Sep 9th, 2008 | Obama Lipstick survey

What do you think of Obama's "lipstick on a pig" comment?


In a late Tuesday speech in Lebanon, Virginia, Barack Obama said of the McCain-Palin Republican ticket: "The other side, suddenly, they're saying 'we're for change too.' Now think about it, these are the same folks that have been in charge for the last eight years. You can put lipstick on a pig. It's still a pig. You can wrap up an old fish in a piece of paper and call it change. It's still going to stink after eight years. We've had enough."

Obama received a standing ovation from the crowd of 2,400 people.

I'm sure he'd like to take it back, and I doubt he meant to suggest Sarah Palin's a pig, but it's proof of his inexperience, a professional wouldn't have made this mistake.  Even the most "gullible" of us can see this.

What's the difference if you know my name or not? I know your name & you still an idiot. So what's the point?

Is that right?  I think I asked a good question, especially for a "low information voter".

Most people have even less reason than that. Most people have decided on who to vote for even before they know anything about the candidates, based on where they come from, and what group they identify with. Without groupthink, there would be no redstate / bluestate polarization, and no predictable demographics.

Keep raving. You're not making me look bad; you're only painting an unwitting portrait of yourself.

You are assuming facts not in evidence. Read the speech. When he used this saying, he hadn't even mentioned Palin. Whoever started this meme was intentionally mis-reading Obama's words, knowing full well that the "low information voter" would believe it.

Okay, I'll bite.  How is it the "R's" are telling you what religion to practice?

And would they rather be on the side of somebody who fails to even show their face, and simply slings mud anonymously? Probably not.

You're the ridiculous blind idiot & are obviously HOPE-notized by the Osama-obama snake oil salesman political techniques.

It was perfect! and I understood exactly what he was doing (telling the otherside that it doesn't matter how you look at it - it's all the same).  If everything the Dem's say is sexist - Then the other party (R's) need to drop out and GO HOME! I surely don't want them (R's) telling me what religion I have to practice, or dictating what I want to do with my body.  That's ridiculous!

Keep dreaming BM. Never mind what the guest look like. People don't want to be on the side of some guy that looks a filthy smelly hippy like you. You have no credability. Are you sure you're not related to Phil the Phool (Philgtaylor) with that big open mouth of yours. You're another one that loves to hear yourself talk, full of self importence & think you're God's fucking gift to mankind. Sorry to burst your delusional bubble, but you're just a stupid big mouth jerk who really should learn to shut the fuck up. Yap yap yap. Another annoying yappy little dog.

Tell me something, had Obama chosen Hillary instead of Biden and McCain used this "common saying" about Senator Clinton, how do you think it would be received?
