Michelle Obama: Don't vote because 'she's cute'

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.

Ummm...No...

You can't be talking about yourself...

Last I checked?...YOU are not a candidate...

Onca again, the crowd roars at a cheap shot by the Obama Cartel and the vaulted leaders declare innocence...

Ain't it stunning when Barack Obama tells people "lay off my wife" but has no problem when his wife take shots?...

Immunity...

1) I agree that was aimed at Palin. (unless there is some new context revealed which shows otherwise, but I doubt it)

2) Considering how many times I have been told that I (or others) are voting for Obama cause he's black...
Or because of white guilt...
Or cause he's a "celebrity"...
Or < insert lame pretense here > ...

Or McCain lying about Obama and calling him a sexist...
Or claiming he's going to teach sex to kindergarteners...

While I personally wish she hadn't gone there, I can't help but wonder where the criticism was for the above contentions that came before this.

3) I would be curious as to the full speech contents.
In an "allegorical" sense, she's got a point.
People were told these great things about Palin, and her "skin deep" beauty sold people.
But when it comes to finding out if the "other" things about her, the in depth analysis, show "beauty" or the "same ol' thing", there are some that avoid looking or listening to others who have looked.

I don't think it was aimed at Palin because the line was "don't vote for her because she[s cute".
Is Governor Palin cute?

Stunning?

I'm used to the arrogance and elitism at this point. The Obamas, like the Clintons, get to play by one set of rules while everyone else has to play by the rules He makes.

With the exception of the 'celebrity' claim, it's not been McCain's campaign talking about race or 'white guilt' or whatever 'lame pretenses' you're thinking of...

... and do have you really not seen criticism of those contentions? Are your eyes not open?

Oh ... maybe it was Nancy Pelosi

If she had said he, I would have thought maybe that old sexy Joe Biden?

Palin is AT LEAST cute. A more appropriate estimation of her attractiveness is that she is hot and a MILF, soon to be a VPILF and a GILF.

Michelle Obama is far from cute, in my opinion. Not in her appearance, the way she speaks or thinks or in her demeanor.

Palin is adorable.

Palin is better looking than Michelle.

Palin has better judgment than Biden.

Palin has fewer questions about her past than Obama.

And Palin has more executive experience than Biden AND Obama, COMBINED!

You guys are saying she is cute and that is probably what has energized the white male (the biggest unknown demographic since Obama won the nomination) to get off his butt and vote and to vote Republican.
I rest my case.
