Quote Of The Day
Filed under: Quote of the Day > Barack Obama > Sarah Palin
“You can put lipstick on a pig, but 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, we’ve had enough of the same old thing. It’s time to bring about real change to Washington and that’s the choice you’ve got in this election.”
- Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on Tuesday
Posted: September 10, 2008 at 11:00 am
Obama Bin Ladin is full of shit. It's such a shame, so many fuckwit yanks believe he's going to change the world.
The full 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,'"
"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."
When you post snippets out of context, it only serves to perpetrate McCain's lie. Nowhere in that statement did he mention Palin and none of you would have even thought he was referring to Palin if McCain's camp hadn't suggested it. Don't be a bunch of sheep..learn to think for yourself..and that means research what you hear before running off at the mouth.
oh andy 27, I looked at your profile and believe me, posting comments on perezhilton.com DOES NOT
Wow how hypocritical ! A lot of people in the forum are complaining about the wording of Obama's statement. Yet these are the same people that are evoking their 1st amendment rights to spew racist remarks.
It's a big gigantic circle once again and when McCain gets elected in November and does nothing for the economy in the new year, let us see all the gracious comments then.
The quote has NOTHING TO DO WITH PALIN! Obama is referencing a phrase previously used by McCain in a speech to describe the health care policy of Hillary Clinton. He was not in any way referring to Palin. What's more, this phrase has been used multiple times by the Democrats and Obama prior to the nomiation of Palin as VP! So what, now the democrats can't use the word "lipstick" because Palin used it in her (frequently recited) VP speech? The complaints by McCain once again draw attention to the fact that they have NOTHING ELSE BETTER TO DO than level accustations against the democrats. Why? Because they have NOTHING NEW TO OFFER! More of the same, just stated in a different way. Is that the CHANGE McCain promises to bring?
wah wah wah! Obama preaches about change too but he has no plans to back it up besides raising taxes for businesses which will raise prices for EVERYONE if they do that. We want to keep businesses HERE not send them over seas, we want them to stay IN businesses for this economy to get better not close them down! Obama is full of bullshit and he has no GOOD plans for this country!
Palin just made the lipstick hockey mom statement last week and her secret service names was "lipstick". give me a break. it was a written line. it was not off the cuff. and the crowd cheered wildly because they got the joke too! if a republican said, he'd be done. at least be honest about it!
Re: iluvmesumperez – I think it is all in how you want to see things. Obama would probably suite your tree-hugging, baby killing, welfare collecting ways. As opposed to my gun-toting, hard working real american ways. YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Intellect_Rules: I cant believe she made rape victims pay for their own rape kits. I bet the sicko even thinks they asked for it to. She looks like one of those freaks.
This is actually an insult to pigs everywhere. Pigs are waaaaaaaaaay smarter than Palin and cuter too.
Re: Andy27 – Will you go out with me?
If you don't know politics you really shouldn't comment at all, it just makes you sound more dumb than you look. He wasn't talking about her specifically but referring to the republican party as a whole; a screw up is still a screw up and that's what has happened over the past 8 years so bringing in a new face to the white house that is republican means no change. The Obama's don't hate America, and he has embraced his American heritage before his African heritage because he was raised by his mother so any comments to the contrary are just ignorant. As far as Michelle I agree, this is the first time that the majority of the country is actively involved in the election process and that's something to be proud of. No offense to anyone but when a child does a bad thing or has been neglectful of their duties a parent is not proud and that's what she meant but it's very easy for comments to be taken out of context. In any case, how sad that what's exciting about this republican ticket is a person whose only importance comes into play only if there is a need for a tie breaker in the senate, other than that, the vice president does not have a truly important role in the white house, we can thank John Adams and George Washington's relationship for that one. It's not Palin for president it's McCain. Very smart of the Repulican party to have a woman in their ticken though. . . lot's of stupid people will vote republican for that simple reason
McCain said it first. Go to You Tube and find the McCain "Lipstick on a Pig Comment." Maybe Obama liked the saying so much he used it?
andy 27.. posting comments at perezhilton.com 60 times a day DOES NOT make you a celebrity. oh and who are you kidding with racist your towel head comments? You look like you're from Abu Dhabi!
Re: SWEETAZHONAAY – Actually, you are that dumb. "Lipstick on a pig" is a very old saying and he has actually said it before. Do you get your news from any other source than Perez? Give it a shot, brainiac.
Re: Andy27 –
Well, you should know that you come off as racist. And as far as him being "white", that may be true. However, because of his dark skinned appearance, I am quite certain that he has been viewed by others as "black" his entire life. I actually think that voting for someone because they are a certain color is just as racist as not voting for someone and that it perpetuates discrimination and the racial divide. However, I am white, so I cannot say what it is to be black or what challenges a black person faces on a daily basis. I will vote for McCain/Palin because I am a republican and fairly conservative, but I am thrilled that we have two minorities on the tickets this year and I think it speaks volumes about our country turning a corner in getting past discrimination and racism. Let's just hope it continues. Heck, by 2050 the largest minority will be Hispanics! So maybe Perez should run.
Re: shamms – He was NOT referring to her. He was talking about the campaign! Before you go calling someone ignorant, GET THE FACTS!! Not doubt you are not even even Obama's league!
Re: Andy27 – RACIST IDIOT!!
This comment has been used time and again over the past year. I've heard HIllary and Barack use it regarding the BUsh/McCain poliicies and I've heard McCain use it against Hillary and her campaign. Come on people forget this garbage and start thinking about the real problems at hand. Banks are closing more and more. The government had to take over Fannie and Freddie. The Higwhay Fund is just about broke so our already neglected road and bridges are going to get that much worse. The unemployment insurance is running out of money thanks to the high unemployment rate. People are worried about how they are going to pay to heat their homes this winter. WTF is wrong with these these brain dead morons who buy into this bullshit.
it's not obama's comment, it's the picture that perez posted above it. if he would have reported the facts (that mccain has used this phrase several times as well, and now the mccain camp is trying to turn obama's use of it into something sexist), and the statement that obama said about using that phrase, he wouldn't be making obama looking like an asshole. for someone who supposedly supports obama, perez sure isn't giving him much help here…just making him look worse.
I'm not an Obama fan, but this post is ridiculous. Obama was using a well-known expression and NOT using it in reference to Palin. Even the Republicans admit that. BE FAIR AND HONEST, PEREZ. This kind of spin is just yucky.
Re: Andy27 –
Actually the Bush administration has more ties to the arabs and muslims when it comes to oil. Obama doesn't have that type of relationship and if his Christian mother decided to name him after his father that doesn't necessarily make him more relatable to them. He's a Christian and to be muslim and deny your faith isn't something they would do. . . that's the reason why he said that they offend muslim people more than they do him when they call him or make drawings of him in muslim characteristics
Re: iluvmesumperez –
iluvmesumperez must be a blast to hang out with!
There are so many uninformed people making comments about this it's ridiculous! He was NOT referring to her when he made that comment. People check your FACTS and get a clue!!
Re: missmissy – Exactly. People are in attack mode. Both republicans and democrats. Everyone needs to read the full quote.
Re: SWEETAZHONAAY –
Idiot. A strong woman doesn't cry to daddy and cry SEXISM when she's being logically attacked. The Beauty Queen continues to read the same damn script she read at the convention. She has nothing important to say. They might have well put Paris Hilton up there and have her read that script. At least she's smart at making whores look good.
Re: Intellect_Rules Why can't I bitch slap a pig and kick her in the Vagina for making all those rape victims PAY for their own rape kits!?? PLEASE LET ME AT HER! –
I understand how you feel. I think Palin is scary. She is the living antithesis of women's rights.
Re: Andy27 – SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU WHITE TRASH PRICK. YOU ARE SUCH A FUCKING LOSER WHY DON'T YOU GO DO WHAT YOU DO BEST AND SHOVE A DILDO UP YOUR ASS AND LEAVE THE POLITICS TO SMART PEOPLE. YOU ARE THE POSTER CHILD FOR PRO-ABORTION. NO WONDER YOU LIKE THAT BITCH SARAH PALIN!!
What dumb quote from an ignorant man! He's just a black paris hilton..He knows nothing about running a country.
Re: iluvmesumperez – "Sarah Palin is a liar and a murderer. She supports the aerial hunting of wolves and actively participates in the senseless bloodsport."
Re: Andy27 – Re: snarkybitch – You are a naive boy if you think your vile choice of words will not come back to bite you in the ass in the real world
re: Andy27 what you said actually digusts me.
OBAMA=CHANGE & A FRESH START FOR ALL YOU AMERICANS!!
gain some respect back for mthe rest of the world and elect a good man! or forever be seen as the idiots that world thinks you are!
Re: honey97431 – Go back(?) to school, honey. Learn to spell. Have you watched the video? Nice gas mask, btw… Better keep it nice and clean because this country is going to hell in a hand-basket if this fool is elected by fools like you. I will pray for you.
Election years are brutal. It brings out the crazy-bitterness in me. What I meant to say is ……….. (to I luv me some perez) is that we all are entitled to our own opinions and we believe in the issues that suite our life. I apologize for my UGLY remarks. sincerely.
Looks like a Penelope to me. Have you seen that movie. Its only super awesome.
"This image isn't photoshopped!"
If you listen to the whole statement it has nothing to do with Palin and has to do with McCain's plan for the economy. Before you start saying horrible things, listen to the entire speech.
John McCain re Hillary Clinton
"I think they put some lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig," McCain said of the plan last October as Clinton was running for the Democratic nomination.
AH HA HA HA HA HA! SUCH HYPOCRITES!!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Re: momo3 – Gun toting is fine… Murder is not. Do you care about the future of our children or not. My first grader knows that America/American should always be with a capital A. Sad…so sad.
Are you Serious McCain camp !!??!! They need to do their homework . In October 2007 Mr. McCain used the "lipstick on a pig" in reference to Hillary Clinton's health plan. Please stick to business, our country is suffering while you play your high school games.
This guy is a FUCKING IDIOT! He's yet to prove one point. Cannot wait for their debate to happen, he'll fall flat. No surprise there.
That picture is ridiculous, first of all. Second of all…yes McCain used that particular phrase years ago…however, he didn't use it just a week after the female GOP VP nominee used something similar to describe herself. It was a very obvious and blatant dig. I just want to know something….is McCain running for President or is Palin, because from all the press and the media coverage, I swear the candidate for president on the GOP ticket is Palin. All you sheep out there need to reazlie that you are voting for President…not Vice President. What did Cheney really do in regards to our country? And Gore…when he was in office, what did he actually do for our country? Nothing. It's about the president. And i know that McCain is old and the VP is the successor, but Regan was old and senile for most of his reign…Regan didn't die in office…and I highly doubt McCain will. Masterson in '08! Go Republicrats!!
THIS IS A FILTHY DISGUISTING PHOTO. PEREZ, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED.
Re: jace – Please do…..yes….go on.
Re: Andy27 –
Andy you are an asshole
mccain said the same thing about hillary clinton in may of 2006!!!a pig wearing lip stick go look at the video on msn…
Re: Toasty J – I am, actually. ;0)
It's a colloquialism, virtually everyone has heard the saying and knows what it means. That's not to say some people won't interpret literally, but those people are being blatantly disingenuous to promote their agenda. BTW:
"I think that both Gen. Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker are capable people who have been given an impossible assignment," Obama said in a telephone interview. "George Bush has given a mission to Gen. Petraeus, and he has done his best to try to figure out how to put lipstick on a pig." Barack Obama
McCain was asked about criticisms coming his way from then-opponent Gov. Mitt Romney, R-Mass., and McCain replied, "Never get into a wrestling match with a pig. You both get dirty, and the pig likes it."
Obama will change the U.S. He will change it from a democratic to a Communist country.
Re: mandzie f baby –
Get over Lil Wanye cunt, you have been posting on and on about him since yesterday, he doesnt like nor will ever want your white ass.
This is when shit gets a little bit too far, I mean it really makes you think that this whole running for presindet thing is nothing but a war between 4 people how about spending more time on trying to figure out bigger problems facing us today. Obama is going DOWN that's why he is doing all this. I heard something on TV last night that really described Obama in one sentence "He doesn't act presidential" the best line I've heard so far and the most truthfull.
Re: Andy27 – Andy, My dude, you are way out of line.
A. Stop calling people monkeys and Arabic Muslims, when you look exactly like that.
B. You are clearly trying to get attention, and while you do, you make yourself look more like a twit with every dumb ass word you say.
C. Your comments are appealing to less knowledgeable people under the age of 17.
D. Why do you hate Obama, and why do you love Mccain?
I haven't seen anything out of either camp, accept that. They are all inexperienced, they're in it for the celebrity, and one of them is Bush all over again.
What is it about the Bush administration that you love so dearly?
Palin will ner get my vote, she left dept, can't control her family, kills animals for SPORT loves guns, doesn't write her own speeches, and like Obama, will be in constant need of advisors, because she won't be abe to think for herself. Mccain, well, I'm sure he's 1 colonoscopy away from her being a full time Pres.
You need to chill, and consider growing up a bit.
Re: Andy27 –
Sounds GHETO TO ME; what a crappy African American wannabe president.
Oprbama needs to go back where he came from…Hollywood!!
What crappy representation to all Blacks.
Go on and SAY that word about Obama you want to say Andy27, you seem to have so much mouth just say it
palin is the second coming of hitler.
Re: iluvmesumperez – Actually it's called a motercycle helmet you stupid fuck. I am actually in my third year of college and don't act like you've never spelled anything wrong. Sometimes when your trying to type fast to tell stupid people like you to wake the fuck up your not thinking about your spelling!
wow FINALLY, someone has a correct picture of what Palin really looks like/is.
I read somewhere around Hiltons site and someone named her "Gorgeous Alaskan woman", the cookie i was eating at the time ended up all over my lap due to the fact i threw up while reading that comment.
OBAMA 08'
republicans are a mess!!! PEOPLE…. PRES. OBAMA was NOT….. I REPEAT, NOT!!!! REFERRING TO SARAH PALIN. PERIOD!
hahahahahahah too bad Barack Obama has no fucking clue what he is doing, has NO experience, and is just telling people what they wanna here.. I am not a republican, but if we want this country to grow in the right direction, at least we should pick the lesser of the two evils, someone who has experience… all Obama does is talk out of his ass, and if you people would get out there and do some research about these people, you will find out that it takes more than a charmer and good speaker to run this country….
Come on is that the best you can do? Are these the tactics you think will get us McCain supporters to switch our vote? Are you just playin with us Perez? This is a joke right? Like OB-you are just hysterical! Thanks for helping the GOP! McCain/Palin 08.
Re: Andy27 –
ALL african americans better pray that if he wins; he better not fuck up.
Can you imagine the repercussions from Obama failing???????
SO SAD; breaks my heart. WHERE do the FISCAL LIBERALS go if they are SOCIALLY liberal???????????? Tell me, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIPSTICK ON A PIG IS NOT RACIST OR SEXIST!!! IT IS AN OLD POLITICAL EXPRESSION!!!!
McCain Has used it to describe Hillary's Universal Healthcare plan
GEORGE BUSH JR. Has also used that expression GOOGLE IT AND DON'T FALL FOR BS!!!
For the STUBBORN here is the FULL quote:""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 gonna shake things up in Washington." That's not change. That's just calling some — the same thing, something different. But you know, you can — you know, you can put lipstick on a pig; it's still a pig."~ Barack Obama
Woo! Loves it. WE DON'T NEED A PRESIDENT THAT VOTED WITH BUSH 90% OF THE TIME!! THAT ISN'T CHANGE!
OBAMA/BIDEN!!
Re: LilMissFabulous –
WAKE UP; HE WAS!!!!
STOP LIVING IN DENIAL.
Re: Andy27 – What a shock! Another ignorant racist.
People, you need to inform yourselves. It's been said before by McCain. Please get your news from other sources. Perez is not a real news source.
Just the way I like my women, corn fed and corn holed. Come on baby, squeal like a pig!
Re: BeautifulDisaster – I know McCain is such an idiot! "I think they put some lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig," McCain said of the plan last October as Clinton was running for the Democratic nomination.
Re: momo3 – Amen to that… & Thank You. This is America after all. Last time I checked we are a free country, for now… We have in common a love for our country, love for our children (those of us who have made that "choice") & love ,unfortunately, for controversy. Apology taken… Can't we all just get along??? ;0)
Re: ohjustshutup –
thank you. I really don't understand why any intellectual woman would support her.
I was present on Tuesday when Barack spoke in Virginia. This quote has been taken out of context and had nothing to do with Palin. The media is to blame for this.
HELLO, people… Palin HERSELF SAID (about **herself**) in her RNC convention speech: "What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick." SHE put it, comparing herself to an animal that people generally think is bad [just like pigs..], out there, so why shouldn't Obama run with it -?? LMAO! Good for him… And for all for the gender-card pulling HYPOCRITES now crying b/c 'oooh.. how can anyone say that about a woman..' (when it was ok to say Hillary couldn't be PRes b/c she's a woman and women are too emotional) ~ I say: boo to the mutha-frickin' hoo… LOL
I meant motorcycle helmet by the way, just thought I'd clear up that typo before some stupid asshole points it out to me!
Re: Andy27 – i totally agree with you Andy27… people are so wrapped up in the fact that hes totally opposite of a typical candidate.. which is fine.. I am all about diversity in the country… however, at the end of the day, and for the well being of our country we HAVE to put someone in office that isn't out for his own good, but for the good of the country. Obama surely doesn't seem to have this country's best interest at heart.
Re: MoonX – Not think…WE KNOW he will! He already has!
Re: kellagniappe – HEY IDIOT!! EARTH TO ALL IDIOTS!! I'm saying it's not JUST a coicidence that he uses the pig phrase right after her speech on pitbulls and lipstick. I KNOW you MORON that that's an old saying even quoted by mccain himself i'm saying it was not just a COINCIDENCE! Barack knew how people would take it because it was so soon after her speech. You are so full of crap if you think i listen to a GD word of what Perez has to say. I could give a crap less about his political opinions-I might as well go to Madonna and ask her political opinions.
Obama's becoming desperate. The lipstick statement might not have been a direct attack on Palin, but he knew it would be perceived that way after her lipstick statement last week. Nice try, but once again, BACKFIRE!!!
McCain/Palin '08.
thank you perez, that's exactly what i was talking about. it's not about fixing democracy, it's about giving it a whole new makeover, starting from the inside out… something that only obama truly shows as being possible.
he's the next freakin martin luther king making a legacy whether you like it or not.
don't hate the playa!
Re: Jenisis – Ditto.
mccain= bush
screw bush!!! Im voting for Obama someone who really wants change.
Re: zzzz25 – I disagree, that's like saying white people should feel like shit, because for the past hundreds of years, the presidents did nothing but fuck up the country.
Do not foreget, we are the lauging stock of the world…so, thats enough there.
HAHAHAHA! YES!!! Mud-slinging at its best…. now go play in the mud, bitch.
Thats what she gets for saying he didnt have any responsibilities when he was a Community Organizer….. Spoken like a true heartless Republican.
Love it — just visually sums up what is the truth.
-
- for mcCain if you want THE SAME
Re: honey97431 – Your anger and hatred makes me smile. :0)
Re: beppys –
Right on Beppy's, If these assholes wanna say obama is a communist or call him fidel castro then mccain/palin are the next hitler. Gimme Castro over Hitler any day. I can't belive Mccain had the audacity to take that comment out of context when he himself used it towards Hillary. HIs dirty tricks will catch up to him. He better get some new material quick because Obama will come back. He's come back from far lwoer numbers in the polls.
Perez- I've never commented before and I've been reading you for years now. Please consider that with the way this post is created, you're helping John McCain's campaign in their quest to make this quote about "ipstick on a pig" about Sarah Palin… when really it was a comment made in the context of criticizing John McCain's economic plan. You might want to note somewhere that this is just another example of how the republicans are using swift boat tactics to try and manipulate this election. We gotta rise above this kind of bullshit. seriously. help! Images like the one you posted to accompany it are only helping to create the false connection the McCain camp wants to put out there. Rock on with yo bad self! xo
TEE HEEE !!! Funny pic. calling someone a pig and calling a black man a n____er are now the same you stupid peter puffing queer. and get a new avitar so we dont have to see your gay ass fuckin face anymore……..ha ha ha
Wahh. The dems are just jealous.
HE WAS NOT TALKING ABOUT SARAH PALIN!! McCain knows that as well he just wants to spread rumors!!! Even McCain said the same thing about Hillary's change ideas in the primaries…STOP Spreading lies on Obama!!
***Sure the Republicans want some change, for WORSE of course!… they don't have enough with the last 8 years that this country has been in decline due their poor choices and that they are so incompetent. Republicans only change a good a life for them and their friends so the rest of the country can be in the toilet********
Re: NYbiatch – hahaha.
People that are now trying to imply that Obama is sexist are officially ignorant in my opinion. I guess ANYTHING he says from this point forward is going to be HEAVILY scrutinized and shredded… Pathetic
Are we supposed to handle her w/ kidgloves now? Are we supposed to pick our political expressions carefully b/c it may be perceived as sexist or directed to a female? GIVE ME A FU*KEN BREAK!!! Seriously?!
Re: ss794- – Don't think so hon. That's why we have congress and the senate as a system of checks and balances.
Re: bigspendab – How do you know the Mccain admin. is for our own good?
People, People, People…can any of you tell us Liberals why the McCain admin. will work? They have proven, nor said anything to make me believe. They're jokes, and if you can't see that, then you shall be left behind.
What about Palin intrigues you? If you enoy an old Fogey, and a money hungry, can't control her family, whore, that likes to kill animals for sport, then you need to look at your own family and have them run for office.
Re: Andy27 – ha ha are you upset you fuckin queer ?
change your avitar so we dont have to look at you gay ass face.
i hope you get a radiator hose stuck up your ass . ha ha ha
I'm sending that photo EVERYWHERE — LOLOLOLOLOL !!
All of this - however - detracts from the real thruth - and that is the fact recently published that McCain will be giving largest tax cut to wealthiest — he's in that same category, its a tax break for him.
-
-
McCain does not care about this country — McCain is an incredibly envious, tiny shrimp of a guy, who wants the presidency for his ego.
-
-Seriously, he's not over 5'4" - is he?
Perez stop fucking adding fuel to this fire that he meant Palin was a pig. It's a common phrase used and is being spun as a sexist and negative remark by the GOP (surprise surprise!) You're just providing fodder for the ignorant people who read your blog and don't know how to look up facts.
What an ignorant piece of crap Obama is. Take away his teleprompter and he's a bumbling moron.
MCCAIN/PALIN '08
Getting back to what's a stake here:
-
How many of you feel you, your parents, etc. are better off due to Bush?
-
I've watched health care go down the tubes, a very questionable war, huge cash incentatives going to Cheney's company, huge profits from the war to the Bush-related company coffers — when will it stop?
-
Why do you want to give your hard earned cash up to Cheney's and Bush's bank accounts?
-
-then there is Palin - she billed the "travel" per diem for every day she was govenor — while living in her own house. Nice, Tricky fraudulent way for those poor tax payers to pay her mortgage.
