Obama Says McCain-Palin Proposals Are Like Putting "Lipstick on a Pig"

(CBS)
(LEBANON, Va.) Barack Obama used an analogy tonight as he explained why the McCain-Palin campaign doesn’t represent change, setting off supporters of Sarah Palin, who suggested Obama was being sexist.
He started out with his standard stump: “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 gonna shake things up in Washington.’ That’s not change.”
