Regarding the "Lipstick on a Pig" comment

Well the US elections are in full swing and things are heating up plus the name calling is getting louder. The Obama/Biden and McCain/Palin camps are trading insults. Push is coming to shove. Oh my!!!

With respect to the "lipstick on a pig" comment, in her opening remarks of her convention speech, Sarah Palin said, "You know the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick." Obama later said and I quote,

"John McCain says he's about change too, 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 going to shake things up in Washington,'" he said.
"That's not change. That's just calling something the same thing something different. 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. We've had enough of the same old thing."
Everyone is weighing in on the "lipstick on a pig" comment. But after reviewing the above quote, it seems like Obama is referring to the Republicans and the current Bush administration, and not specifically to Sarah Palin. The Republicans are smelling to "high heaven".

It is time for a "change in politics" in the US. This is the reason why, Senator Barack Obama and the Democrats have captured the imagination of the American people, especially the younger voters.

(laughter) Sometimes I feel like saying they should go away with their lies and their lies should go with them
