It's hard to believe Obama would intentionally take a jab at Sarah Palin as 'a pig wearing lipstick,' but the timing is bad and he seems to make these gaffes when he's under a lot of pressure. And with white women running away from him and to Sarah by 20 points, according to one poll, Obama has reason to be stressed.
