As you have probably noticed, the presidential race is getting hot. Since Palin gave her well received speech at the Republican National Convention, the democrats just haven't known what to do. So, more attacks have occurred from the Democratic party against Sarah Palin in a way that should infuriate any woman.
Obama talks about the fact that many women get lower pay for the same jobs men have and he wants to make sure that women get their rights. Yet, when faced with a woman, Obama treats her in a way that he would never dare to treat any man.
In Palin's speech at the RNC, she mentioned that the difference between a hockey mom and a bulldog was "lipstick." Now in Obama's speech he came up with his own lipstick quote. "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig." Was this a hit on Palin?
Well, many people in the media are saying that it was a slip of speech and that the comment did not refer to Palin in any way. My opinion...it was used as a slam. After all, how many other male politicians talk about lipstick in their speeches? I think it really appears to be a hit on Palin, and by the reaction of his audience of supporters, it appears that they took this the same way too.
So, was Obama calling Palin a pig? Watch the clip...then you decide.

I would have to agree that this statement of put lipstick on a pig and it is still a pig was definitely a slam against Sara Palin. If Hillary Clinton had made the lipstick comment followed by the statement Obama would have been excoriated. Alas that's hardball politics and payback is the cost of the election.
