Barack Obama directly attacked GOP’s John McCain and Sarah Palin with his “lipstick on a pig” comment and it may keep him out of the White House.
Though the line is being understood by some as a personal attack against Palin. Palin described herself as a “pit bull with lipstick” when she was announced as the Republican vice-presidential nomination at the Republican national convention.
“We’ve been talking about change when we were up in the polls and when we were down in the polls,” Senator Obama told a rally in Virginia. Surveys have stated that McCain and Palin have taken the lead in the election.
“The other side, suddenly, they’re saying ‘we’re for change too’. Now think about it, these are the same folks that have been in charge for the last eight years.”
“You can put lipstick on a pig. It’s still a pig. You can wrap up an old fish in a piece of paper and call it change. It’s still going to stink after eight years. We’ve had enough,” Obama said to immediate praise.
