Yes, it is true.
Yet again, someone has stepped across the line dividing good natured clean political satire from nasty meanness. To see another example of the depravity photoshoppe makes possible, click the photo.
I say this goes beyond what could be considered in good taste even if it is too funny for words.
What do you say?

Oh! So yet another spin has been effected with the words uttered by the man of the moment himself coming full circle..... I personally don't find it offensive in any sense, shape or form but would it be possibly pushing the boundaries if the shoe was on the other foot? Yes he made the pig statement so maybe this is just desserts?
But if you were to put the same words and the same photoshop "magic" onto a photograph of Palin there would be an uproar! The female/pig association seems to have far more consequences attached than a male/pig association. Go figure? Is it the step-up from a verbal statement to a graphical one that's the issue? I once again am not quite sure what the issue is to be honest. Maybe if he had not of made the pig comment in the first place it may be considered uncalled for; but he did!

Well, this photoshopped image is proof that blacks are now equal to whites in the USA. This is because only a few years ago the tasteless ridicule of blacks publically was very much verbotten whereas any kind of gross inappropiate mischaracterization of whites was allowed. Obama, welcome to equality!
So, I think we are both saying, "He had it coming!".

Yes he did. After a comment like that what's good for the goose is good for the gander as they say! For the record I have no personal leanings towards Obama/Biden over McCain/Palin or vice versa, I just think that if you're gonna throw mud then don't just be prepared to get a little on ya; expect the return lob as well! lol.

You must be the only person in the world not leaning one way or the other in this political race. Word is that if foreigners could vote, Obama would win hands down.

I think it fits Obama perfectly.
Here is a story about where Obama stole his lipstick comment from... that's right, he lifted it!
Enjoy...

No wonder Obama chose Biden for his VP. They are both plagerists.

Now I do have to admit, that is going too far. I understand not liking him (which I don't), and not voting for him (which I won't), but to make a poster like that is just asinine.

Poster? Egads, don't giv'em any ideas. Currently, it is just an image. Watch out or there'll be T-shirts, too.

I am picking out a pretty picture frame............
Oh that isn't what the question was huh? I think that first, the comment Obama made should not require so much press or discussion. It is a statement that has been made a million times, it just kind of fit differently here. I by the way, whole heartedly support Palin!

I support Palin, too. This also shows McCain can pick good people. One of the problems many politicians have is they won't pick someone more talented than themselves as subordinates. It is a terrible mistake, but too many politicans have too big of an ego to overcome it. Imagine if Obama had the courage to have picked Hillary for VP. McCain would not have stood a chance. Now, McCain - Palin conceivably could win big time.

Too bad Gov. Palin is being saved a speech or two. So far, I like her speeches.

She is getting plenty of time in news interviews. Funny, I meant she's be saved a couple of speeches of defending herself from the pig-lipstick comment, but she is never on the defensive when she speaks. I admire that about her.

The lipstick part was funny. But the remark about being on a pig was a little distasteful. I don't like him or what he stands for, but I wouldn't want the same thing to be on the one I support. But, I suppose should have seen this coming.

Obama was very clearly referring to McCain's apparently new-found support of 'change' when he made that remark. I think he was also, clearly, having a little dig at Ms Palin's reference to hockey moms and pitbulls.
