Obama: Her Pig. Him Old Fish.

Why are they attacking women and senior citizens?

The Obama campaign is clearly in disarray, and has resorted to heaping the crudest abuse on their growing list of enemies, which now apparently includes women and old people. Said Obama: "You can put lipstick on a pig. It's still a pig. You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It's still going to stink after eight years." Yikes.

Obama’s media friends are feverishly assembling montages of Republicans using the “lipstick on a pig” cliché over the years (Breaking news: Politicians Use Clichés). Unfortunately for Obama, the audio of the quote is unambiguous: With careful comedic timing, Obama meant the pig remark to be a slam. He meant to call a war hero an “old fish.” His audience roared its approval. What audacity! He fairly basked in their applause.

Only an idiot could miss Obama’s intent. Consequently, only idiots will buy his spin when he tries to convince the American people that this persistent Democrat talking point is an “innocent remark.”
