Obama: 'Lipstick on a pig' comment. Not Smart.

[TRFrance]

I'm wondering if the Sarah Palin phenomenon is making Obama get a bit nervous now.

This is not a smart comment on his part. As a matter of fact, if this story takes off, he'll probably cost himself a couple thousand votes with this remark:

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."
