Direct quote from the O: "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig."
O didn't get the original joke, I guess. I'm not surprised. He does seem a pretty humorless fellow, really. And the polls lately aren't anything he would smile about.
UPDATE: Obama's campaign says "no, we didn't call Palin a pig. And we didn't call McCain an old fish. And we certainly didn't have Palin in mind when we wrote a two-line joke about pigs and smelly fish. Really. Would we lie?" (Not their exact words, but I think they faithfully carry the gist of what they're saying.)
Note to Obama and his campaign: If you have to explain the joke, chances are it wasn't a good joke in the first place.
