I find it hard to believe that Obama's "Pig" comment was geard only at Palin  

I had not taken the comments that way. The comment about putting lipstick on a pig reminded me of the joke by Palin and it made me think he was talking specifically about her. But, reading your discussion, it makes me now think that perhaps you are right, and that the old fish was meant to represent McCain. They have long said that McCain was too old to be President, which I disagree with. Age has nothing to do with suitability, but experience sure does. And McCain is not like Bush.

I agree with you 100%. And Grampa has used the expression several times himself, so that's like the pot calling the kettle black.

Oh come now, hes highly trained and carefully chooses his words. It was an insult to Plain and the crowd took it that way too. Most people that heard it did too, unless they are so behind Obama that they overlooked it or refused to believe it.

For someone that doesn't stand for either party, you sure seem to be attacking the conservatives while defending the liberals... maybe you have just jumped into the mainstream.

Just an observation sedel.

My call is that the Democratic party is scared. They should have a double-digit lead in the polls and they are actually running behind.
After the past eight years of Bush, I would think that ANY candidate from the Democratis party would be safely in the lead with the election in the bag.

Not so with Obama.

Maybe the people are thinking that the maverick McCain will return and with Palin, they will shake up Washington in a way thats been long overdue.

Use any analogy you want, I smell Democratic fear, not fish in newspaper.

Hes too wise to make a statement like the lipstick on a pig after Palin got such a laugh a week ago, without it referencing it. It was no accident.
