Obama "Lipstick On A Pig" Video

Obama hit the McCain campaign hard today over their attempts to claim the mantle of change.

[WATCH]

OBAMA: Let's just list this for a second. John McCain says he's about change, too. Except -- and so I guess his whole angle is, "Watch out, George Bush, except for economic policy, health-care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy, and Karl Rove-style politics. We're really gonna shake things up in Washington." That's not change. That's just calling some -- the same thing, something different. But you know, you can -- you know, you can put lipstick on a pig; it's still a pig.

Well, ya know, That Sarah Palin is one pretty lady. And Barak Obama knows now that his once, one sided media attraction focused on him being the "First whatever" presidential candidate, will have to be shared with this beautiful (hot, sexy), intelligent woman John McCain shrewdly chose as his running mate. Since big league politics is a grand stage for all involved, Barak Obama, once the media darling, may even be overshadowed by the attraction of Sarah Palin.

I just him 50 dollars for that line....awesome!!!!!!

[bitterindependent]

i donated 100 dollars.....the media can try to fix this race like the last election but i am NOT going to fall for it.....i've already convinced 10 of my family members(a mix of republicans and independents) to vote obama ......it was pretty easy with this poor vp pick!!!!!!! FIRED UP!!!! AND READY TO VOTE!!!!

I am living better and safer then I was 8 years ago, also if Obama wins he will tax us to death and this great nation is not a socialist nation I should keep what I make

[MOregon]

Do you make less than $250k a year? Your taxes will not go up. If you are a senior making $50k, you will pay NO taxes.

Quit passing on the lies.

Funny, communism to Republicans is simply the Christian value of taking care of the least, and the rest of us doing our part for this reason.

BASTANTE! ENOUGH!

Obama/Biden '08!

[MOregon]

Excuse me "socialism" was the term you used, but same connotation.....

[formerprosecutor]

you are the only one; for the first time in my lifetime (60 years) i am afraid of my own government; i have less income that any other time since college, there are no jobs out there, no socially forward programs. we just have wars to keep the economy going: war of drugs war in iraq, correction systems feeding our economy instead of science and schools. we are faciign a breakdown of our culture. we are sparta when we should be athens

[roxn]

Wasn't Obama talking about the economy - and issues having to do with his plan for - Real Change -

And McCain has already used the same 'pig in lipstick' line against Hillary's healthcare plan

Has McCain - now - become a champion of 'lipstick' !!

nice...but I assume the GOP response will be: "uppity poem"

[Cramus]

Obama talks too nice and respectful. He's boring. We need some fire in this country. McCain and Palin are bringing the fire! Sound bites win elections, intellectual discusion won't. I fall asleep when I watch Obama. Sounds smart, but its way above my ability to understand. I love McCain and Palin. They are the ones that give the ignorant a voice in this country. I won't have a voice with Obama.

And now what’s more. She’s going to give the country a redneck son-in-law, once she actually becomes VP. What could be more representative of a true American. We’re a REDNECK COUNTRY and now can be proud of it and flaunt it!

If you notice every time something negative is said about Hillary Clinton the democrats keep saying it is sexist or the media is being bias. The media need to do their jobs and go after this women and stop being big chickens. This lady is definitely getting a free pass. There are too many issues with going unchallenged,
Also the media never went after Obama for playing the race card against The Clinton's

[imadf]

Am I missing your message or are you advocating people play in the RNC's hands????? Here on this site? Hmmmm.... Nice investment of your time.

[WoodyIV]

I'm comming to believe that the Republican Party is evil.

[TakingBackTheUSA]

Typical republican pig tactic. (yes I used the term intentionally)

Mc has run a campaign purely based on character assassination, and then when Palen refers to herself as a pitbull with lipstick, now any animal in lipstick is a shot at Palin. Again the rethugs want to have their cake and eat it too. They spread rumors that Obama is muslim, et al, but when Obama refers to policy with this statement it's spun to be an attack on their golden girl. Please, if this is the best you've got rethugs, quit now and save yourself the embarassment.

mccain didnt steal change from obama. Change is not something you can copyright or patent. What mccain was say hey change is working good for him. lets use it for us. he has no message of his own so the best he and his lobbyists can do is not so much steal obamas thunder but hijack it for his own use. Which isnt such a bad tactic. I mean dont get me wrong mccain is a joke and palin is a snake, but whoever dreamed up this ploy got it right. im not saying it will work. but just look how far it has gone to muddy the water. Obamas off his game now trying to distinguish his brand of change from the mccain brand. He's having to waste precious time making sur epeople know which "CHANGE" candidate he is. We went from a campaign of Im change and hes mavrick/sidekicky. to im change and hes change but my change is better than his change.To counter this obama needs to take a page from the sarah palin book. Say the same thing over and over. Change VS no change george mcain/palin/bush/cheney and dont vary it at all, no riffing no off the cuff no pigs or fish just leave the animals in the cages. Change VS no change george/mcain/palin/bush/cheney period

Here's the correct spelling for all you who were to lazy to look up the word: P L A G I A R I Z E

[jtmoney]

McCain said the exact same thing about Hillary and her health care plan last year. On NBC World news last night, they said Karl Rove has been working secretly on McCain's campaign for some time now. I guess Karl didn't realize Obama is using McCain's own words as a form of sarcasm. Or he doesn't care, probably the later.

[muffler]

Rove is also working as a political pundit... conflict of interest! But with Rove and Republicans this never seems to be an issue. Oh and McCain used the same comment and it was about Hillary.

Lipstick on a pig! Change?here is a goo read that you are not going to see unless you dig.
http://mccainkeatingfive.com/ The Wall Street Journal reveals that besides being the DIrector of Silver State Bank, Andrew McCain, “was a member of its three-person audit committee, which was responsible for overseeing the company’s financial condition.” So he knew better than anyone what kind of trouble the bank was in. Did he see the writing on the wall, or did he, in fact, help write it?
The same WSJ article fills us in…”If Mr. McCain had remained on Silver State’s board another four days, his position on the audit committee would have required him to sign off on the company’s second-quarter financial statements…Three weeks after Mr. McCain quit, Silver State had to revise those second-quarter numbers to reflect a loss of $72.3 million.”
