I wonder if this was written by a speechwriter or his own words. Either way it really backfired on him with the American people. It was definitely a planned statement and everyone knows it no matter how the MSM creeps denys it.
Seems more a typical case of Obama caving to his own instincts for 'street talk/tactics'.
The fact that Biden also used the lipstick reference makes it a certainty it was not an off the cuff comment. No doubt in my mind that this was planned and written for him. It strikes me as something from Michelle or Axelrod. It had to be a big dog behind it; stuff like that survives the axe only when the poobahs think it up themselves and the sycophants rush to curry favor by agreeing what a great idea it is. Had a regular speechwriter written it, it would never have survived the first draft.
