"I’d have been inclined to give BHO a pass on his remaark, but the way he’s handling the pressure speaks volumes about his temperament and thin skin. Hardly Presidential. And he’s demonstrating that he’s incapable of admitting a mistake, or apologizing and “moving on”."

Exactly. Plus, he's showing poor judgement in keeping a "non-issue" alive by holding a press conference about it.

He's not going to move up in the polls from people seeing him today.

I agree with both of you. He’s giving red meat to his base here, but they’ve already been locked in and fired up for a long time. He’s not helping himself with undecideds. Unless his staff is somehow under the impression that this “lipstick” attack will spur a tremendous turnout, it makes no sense to me.
