GOP Cries Foul Over Barack Obama's Lipstick on a Pig Remark
Republicans are crying sexism over Barack Obama's comment at rally today. Obama stated to the delight of his fans who cheered the remarks:
“You can put lipstick on a pig. 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.”
Do you think that the remarks were about Governor Sarah Palin and that he went out of bounds. Check out the video and decide for yourself:

Lipstick on a Pig
The Reps can cry sexism but it just makes them look kinda whimpy. He was clearly calling out Palin as the lipstick on McCain the pig, because nothing's changed and nothing will change with a McCain-Palin Whitehouse.
The pig comment
Finally! Someone called a pig a pig!
Typical whining from the Republicans. When the pig was squealing and deriding community organizers, the whiners-in-support here did not care that she was being disrespectful to people doing valuable community service upholding their self-imposed responsibilities to the community they live in.
And it is really lame to take a metaphor and personify it when clearly no such tie-in was implied.
YES
Oh, he clearly knew what he was saying and so did his intended audience. The only pig I see is a chauvinist named Barry.
Sexist pig
Makes you wonder who the "pig" really is.
Obama has shown his true colors trumping out the "race card" saying that his opponents feel threatened because he doesn't "look like the people on the five dollar bill, his name is funny, and by the way he's black..."
Now we have to put up with his personal attacks of Sarah Palin.
He's gross!
Pig
Uhm yes, of course. What the video is not picking up, is the fact that the people are shouting "pit-bull" at the same time, a reference to Sarah Palin.
Obama is losing it! He has
Obama is losing it! He has sunk too low! Men should never call women pigs publically -- especially men who want to be President of the United States! Shame!Shame!
Repubs are looking pathetic
Repubs are looking pathetic and grasping at straws. Obama clearly wasn't referring to Palin but to the pathetic "change" mantle that McCain-Palin are now trying to grasp.
Dick Cheney used this same phrase in 2004
'"As we say in Wyoming, you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig,' quipped Vice President Dick Cheney in a stump speech yesterday, with reference to John Kerry's claims he would be a credible war president."
John Kerry was a man last
John Kerry was a man last time I checked. It was a major gaffe after the battle he had with Hillary supporters. He needs those votes to win and he better watch his mouth before they all go to McCain/Palin.
Obama is the Pig in Lipstick and the Old Fish is Biden
I guess Obama thought he would be allowed to use his sexist rhetoric against Palin...oops! The GOP will not allow it...so, sorry...no more 99 problems and a bitch ain't one of them....no more flipping the middle finger (like he did to HRC) or brushing off his shoulders.
Karma Is a Bitch...and she has 5 kids
pig/lipstick
obambithechosenonehismosthighest (emphasis on "high') I see, can't stop himself from spewing his sexist demeaning remarks. He did it to Hillary and the Media, DNC and unfortunately the people , except for 18,000,000 of us, stood by.
Thank God the Repubs will stand up to this fraud. I voted Dem for 40 years and am proud to now be an Independent that will vote with pride, for a true American McCain/Palin....
Same Old Pampers
This is the same b.s. we got from Obama in the primaries; the "when she's feeling down" comment, the finger he gave Hillary in Raleigh, etc. Obama is a sexist pig himself. There's are many reasons why there was a 20 point swing among white female voters. This is just one. After today's foot in mouth incident it may be a 35 point swing. Bye bye Obama.
Haha, in YOUR FACE
Haha, in YOUR FACE McCain/Paline!!! LOL. Republicans are wimps.
Bitter Americans and now lipstick pig and stinking old fish
Can someone please ask this loose canon to watch his mouth for the next fifty-ish days.
First the "bitter Americans clinging to their guns and religion with antipathy to others that are not like them" and now this sexist riposte "lipstick on a pig" and framing a great American war hero as "stinking old fish".
Doesn't he realize such elitist/sexist comments only hurt his campaign.
Anyways, why for heaven's sake does he engage the VP candidate of the other ticket?
Obama can't have it both ways
Obama turned Bill Clinton’s comments that Obama’s record of voting against the Iraq war was a ‘fairy tail’ into a smear that President Clinton said a black man becoming president was a fairy tail. Obama can’t then go around talking about lipstick and pigs and not expect it to be seen as calling Gov. Palin a pig.
What goes around comes around.
People! Do you actually
People! Do you actually watch whats going on or are you satisfied to catch every 10th word? People like you are the reason our country is in the toilet. And people like you are the ones who will suffer the most. Karl Rove is in the game again, using lies and phony outrage to manipulate sheep like you. They know you have the attention span of a fly and trust you to continue to spread the lies that they start.
For the last time, and I don't care what Obama's audience was chanting, he was talking about McCain's policies being the pig, just as McCain earlier this year did the SAME EXACT THING about Hillary's health plan. If the Democrats were as slimy, they could have said he was being sexist, but they understand that their audience is just smarter than MCCain's plus they are just not as good at lies and manipulation. Christians and family values? Give me a break, all lies.
And finally no one has asked, that I've heard anyway, if Palin was a man. would she have been picked? No way because she is just NOT QUALIFIED! But we're not allowed to say that are we? Because she's a woman.
GIVE US ALL A BREAK! Get informed before you vote or spout your mouth off. I am sick of all the stupidity. Its been 8 years, Enough!
