PRECISELY! and this is his problem on this -- his audience laughed. They loved it, and they started shouting, "No more pit bull." Obama could have said at that minute...."No, wait, audience....That isn't what I meant...." But he didn't. He let them continue to shout "No more pit bull."

RUSH: All right, now, this is the same day. This is last night. This is the same day that Obama makes the "lipstick on a pig" joke and his crowd is out there chanting, "No more pit bull!" So it is very obvious that his crowd knew. They laughed and they applauded his joke. They did not think it was just the standard used political cliche, that is overused by politicians of all stripes. However, his audience -- and this is his problem on this -- his audience laughed. They loved it, and they started shouting, "No more pit bull." So, we're watching a meltdown here I think of seismic proportions. People don't want to refer to that yet, and of course anything can change overnight in politics. Hugh Hewitt is saying the same thing. The wheels are coming off the bus, he says. Hugh's schtick right now is having only first-time women callers call in to express their feelings on Sarah Palin. Almost two weeks solid and no sign of running out. The women are jazzed about Sarah (it's always 'Sarah') and outraged at the media and Obama.
