Obama on Palin: 'Mother, governor, moose shooter'
More from Parnes in Farmington Hills, MI:

Obama told the crowd that McCain and Palin spent most of the convention talking about their biographies.

Palin's bio is "compelling," Obama said.

The crowd booed. "No, it's an interesting story." More boos. "No, no, it is. I mean that sincerely. Mother, governor, moose shooter."

The crowd broke out in laughter. "That's cool. That's cool. That's cool stuff," Obama said.

He forgot liar, but he alluded to it earlier:

“Let’s get the facts clear here,” Obama said, noting the McCain campaign’s new ad that showcases Palin’s opposition to the pilloried pork project. “When she was mayor, she hired a Washington lobbyist to get earmarks -- pork barrel spending.”

“When it came to the Bridge to Nowhere,” Obama continued, alluding to the refrain of flip-flopping so effectively used against John Kerry in 2004, “she was for it until everybody started raising a fuss about it and she started running for governor and then suddenly she was against it!”

And in some of his strongest language yet, Obama suggested that, in its new ad, the McCain-Palin ticket was simply trying to “make stuff up.”

3. Don't laugh,
some people might accuse you of being mean to the party that though invading Iraq, facilitating the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, was doing "God's work."
