Amie Parnes reports from Lebanon, VA:
Obama poked fun of McCain and Palin's new "change" mantra.
"You can put lipstick on a pig," he said as the crowd cheered. "It's still a pig."
"You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It's still gonna stink."
"We've had enough of the same old thing."
The crowd apparently took the "lipstick" line as a reference to Palin, who described the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull in a single word: "lipstick."
People are already saying that Obama's attacks on Sarah Palin are backfiring, I don't know why he's choosing to go after her in this manner. Maybe he knows something we don't, or more likely, he's thinking that he can get away with it and not alienate voters. In November though, we'll see if he's right.
