"Keep in mind that technically, had I meant it this way, she would be the lipstick," Obama added, referring to GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. "The policies of John McCain would be the pig."

 

Umm... I thought that's how he really did mean it. If that's not what he meant when he said it, what did he mean?

 

 If you can't figure out what this means:

“John McCain says he’s about change, too — except for economic policy, health care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy and Karl Rove-style politics. That’s just calling the same thing something different. You can put lipstick on a pig; 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."

You should work on your reading comprehension.

John McCain wants to change the change.  That means he would change the change Americans want and bring it back to the change that is George W. Bush's policies.
