Lipstick Bungle

McCain and Obama are not agents of change. Period. They are both Washington insiders using beltway lingo, such as "lipstick on a pig". Obama just happens to be the one who last used the phrase.

Change doesn't come to D.C. no matter what the politicians promise. Politicians go to D.C. and are changed by the beltway culture.

A politician next door
Swore
He'd set the Washington arena on fire.
Thinks he'll gladiate 'em,
But they're gonna make him a liar.
Well he's a good ol' boy who was born and raised
In the buckle of the Bible Belt.
But just remember when you step into your voting booth:
He'll never lie, he'll just embellish the truth!

Getting our government to change is more impossible than turning a sow's ear into a silk purse;>) Let the politicians stick that in their swine analogy pipe and smoke it.
