Did Obama just Call Palin a Pig?

Oh oh, the Obama campaign puts its foot in its mouth again. I think he should just stop speaking off the cuff in case he calls Palin something that is going to lose him the rest of the Hillary supporters as well.

"You can put lipstick on a pig," he said to an outbreak of laughter, shouts and raucous applause from his audience, clearly drawing a connection to Palin's joke. "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."

McCain's campaign immediately organized a telephone conference call in response and called on Obama to apologize for calling Palin a pig. Obama's campaign said he wasn't referring to Palin; he had been talking about McCain immediately before the lipstick comment.
