Wow!! He called her a pig!

[Calminian]

She was further under his skin than anyone could have imagined. He called Sarah a pig. LOL! Oh I can't wait to hear the spin on this one.
You can catch the full story on Politico. Oh did he step in it!

Obama Says A Pig With Lipstick Is Still A Pig

I believe its an expression. Like the expression two pigs in a poke. Its not really about pigs.

Obama Says A Pig With Lipstick Is Still A Pig

I would like ot here the whole thing but even still, he should have thought better of that analogy even if true, just because of the fallout.

 

[ArnautDaniel]

Yeah, the lipstick on a pig thing is an old expression.

They set themselves up for that.

 

[Scribbler]

He followed it up with a 'fish' idiom, as well. Seems like a bit more than a coincidence to me.

Ain't politics a hoot?

 

[ArnautDaniel]

Wow, this is everywhere,

And let us compare the "pig" remark to what the right has been saying about "Barak Hussein Osama", that he is a "muslim", who "hates America" and despises the flag and so forth.

Obama has quite sunk to that level just yet.

 

[Baggins]

Good for him. Correct if injudicious.

*Edit*

I am most disappointed he didn't call her a pig at all. He just used a metaphor and it seems that some people haven't the intelligence to understand what that means.

"You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called 'change,'" Obama continued, "it's still gonna stink after eight years.

[wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth]!!!!!!!!!!!!1111! he called her an old fish as well11111!!!!!11

Not the best day for the Dems, is it?

Considering the Conservative attitude towards education, it's hardly surprising.

Oh for goodness sake! It means to try and make the same old thing look better by disguising it. The context makes it clear what he was talking about

"…Obama continued: "You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called 'change,'" Obama continued, "it's still gonna stink after eight years. "We've had enough of the same old thing! It's time to bring about real change to Washington. And that's the choice you've got in this election." …"

Some people will look for anything to attempt to discredit someone.

Palin already said that she was a dog with lipstick




“I love us hockey moms. You know the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick.”

His "community organizer" side is coming out now. He's starting to act and sound as if he's working the South Side of Chicago.

Bush won in 2004 because he received 52% of the women and 55% of the white women vote.

Allusions to lipstick and pigs is not a good allusion to make (especially considering Sarah Palin's joke about hockey moms) when he must do better than Kerry did with the women vote.

 

[kiwimac]

What do you folk not understand about a METAPHOR for goodness sake?

 

[DaisyDay]

It is just an expression. Since he didn't say that Palin was a pig why are you saying that he did?

 

[Ringo84]

Can you not tell the difference between a metaphor and a literal statement?

Pathetic.

Because it is yet another way to attack the CANDIDATE rather than deal with his party's policies.
