Michelle Obama: Don’t Vote For A Candidate (*cough*Palin*cough*) Because She’s Cute
And the belittling of Sarah Palin continues.
Realizing she said something stupid, Michelle tries to backtrack and claim she was talking about herself. Except that she’s, uh, not really a candidate.
Michelle Obama says voters need to decide this election by examining the issues, not because they like a candidate or think “she’s cute.”
Obama spoke in Charlotte on Thursday morning at a women’s round-table on economic issues. The crowd roared at her remark disparaging voters who might cast a ballot because of a woman’s looks, a clear jab at Republican vice presidential pick Sarah Palin.
Obama tried to clarify her remark with a smile, saying she was talking about herself.
Here’s the thing: Sarah Palin is cute. But she’s more than that. She’s a competent leader with more executive experience than anyone running on any Presidential ticket this year, and she’s got a strong reform resume having taken on corruption in her home state. Particularly corruption originating with members of her own party.
But if we’re going to talk about substance over style, how about applying that Barack Obama? How about all those fawning Obama supporters who can talk about what a great leader Obama is, and how he looks so Presidential, but can’t name a single thing he’s accomplished that qualifies him to be President?
