The controversy over the issue is that Palin had used the joke "the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull is lipstick" (yes, that isn't the actual quote). Now, just a few days later, we have Obama using this analogy, and based on the reaction of the crowd, I'd say that the majority of them were thinking it was aimed at not only McCain, but Palin as well. The time McCain said it wasn't as big of an issue because Hillary didn't say something like what Palin had said before.
So, people are upset with Obama because it really was a jab partially aimed at Palin's joke at the RNC.
