“But you know … you can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig. You know, you can … wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change, it’s still going to stink after eight years.” - Senator Barack Obama addressing a Lebanon, VA crowd 9/9/08

And here's a 'just as good one' for you Obama.... (his was bad and so is mine).....you can say experience doesn't matter, it's about the issues, but when SHTF, you'll look just like the inexperienced fool that you are.

So, who's more relevant, Obama or me? Ergo, who sounds more Presidential? lol.....(I may need a tad more coffee this morning)

Only the McCain/Palin campaign and their supporters thought Obama was talking about Palin. It's not his fault if they thought she resembled a pig with lipstick.

She brought up the lipstick and the pit bull joke and everyone laughed. Obama was just repeating another old lipstick joke and I think it is actually pretty funny and it makes a good point. Just because McCain and Palin say they are change doesn't mean they are. Remember he voted with Bush 90% of the time and is very proud of it, and she is doing the republican politician thing by lying about her record and everybody else's. They can call it what they want but they are definitely not change! So you can put lipstick on John McCain's campaign, but it's still the same George Bush! That's why we need Obama/Biden for Change we can believe in!

Obama is really digging to the bottom of the barrel with that remark. As well as the one that Biden made about lipstick. These two men are just overflowing with sexism.

Barack Obama doesnt know what to do anymore. He's so scared of Palin right now he's little knees are shakin in his loose pants. Even the top liberal CNN reporters said and I quote, "I don't agree with anything she said in the GOP but we better watch out. If we underestimate her we can kiss the 2008 election goodbye."

Palin Billed State for Nights Spent at Home

ANCHORAGE, Sept. 8 -- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has billed taxpayers for 312 nights spent in her own home during her first 19 months in office, charging a "per diem" allowance intended to cover meals and incidental expenses while traveling on state business.

The governor also has charged the state for travel expenses to take her children on official out-of-town missions. And her husband, Todd, has billed the state for expenses and a daily allowance for trips he makes on official business for his wife.

Palin, who earns $125,000 a year, claimed and received $16,951 as her allowance, which officials say was permitted because her official "duty station" is Juneau, according to an analysis of her travel documents by The Washington Post.

The governor's daughters and husband charged the state $43,490 to travel, and many of the trips were between their house in Wasilla and Juneau, the capital city 600 miles away, the documents show.
