Yes "Please. That's ridiculous." it is clear that Obama and his speech writer inserted these two anecdotes into the speech.
This wasn't an off-the cuff remark or an ad-lib.

I think that Former Massachusetts Governor Jane Swift got it exactly right, when she interpreted Obama’s remarks to mean that he called Palin a “pig” and McCain an “old fish.”

When pressed on why she assumed that Obama was comparing Palin to a pig, Swift referred to Palin’s “pit bull in lipstick” joke at the convention. She added, "as far as I know she is the only candidate that wears lipstick" and this "seems like a very gendered remark."

DVDw:

"Socialism"?

Please explain which policies Obama advocates you would call Socialism - I'd really like to know. And please don't refer me to the article: I'd like to hear your opinion, directly.

>>check out how America really votes when the choice is socialism against everybody else.<<

Dvd -

Fortunately, most Americans are smart enough to know that Barack Obama isn't a socialist. Maybe you should read up on what the word really means, if you're going to throw it around.
