Obama On Letterman

  In case you didn't stay up last night, Barack Obama was on David Letterman's talk show and one of the topics was the whole "lipstick on a pig" comment.

  John McCain's campaign claimed Obama was talking about vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin when Obama made the comment. Obama said it was just an expression.

  Quote: "This is sort of silly season in politics, not that there's a non-silly season, but it gets sillier," Obama said. "And it's a common expression in at least Illinois. I don't know about New York City. I don't know what you put lipstick on here."

Obama told Letterman the expression "lipstick on a pig" in this case applies to having a bad idea and trying to pass it off as change.
