Michelle Obama: Don't Vote (for Sarah Palin) Because She's Cute
AP via WBT-AM ^ | Thursday, September 18, 2008

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.

Sorry michelle I vote for the party with the best looking veep. Isn’t that as meaningful as the people that vote for your hushband because it will send a message to people that look like those guys on the dollar bill?

Gee, aren’t Barack and Michelle so *incredibly* clever? She was talking about herself, just like Barack wasn’t talking about Palin with his pig remark. wink wink

“She also gets her tongue sharpened pretty regularly.”

Yup!

And this silly explanation about her referring to herself shows off her offhanded narcissism. Poor recovery for a slur on Sarah Palin.

I’m a troll because I dislike that garbage that makes Free Republic look like bigots?

I refuse to let the trolls make the rules. I also refuse to take their bait.

Sarcasm is a very useful tool; the rats and the trolls hate it.
I love it.

Deal with it.

I was corrected earlier. They actually called him "sexy"

That's even worse.

I’ll go you one better: she could look like Hillary Clinton and I’d vote for her.

Okay. I'll vote for her because I know she can kick your 'life-partner's' butt!

Again Michelle Obama doesn’t know her facts. Her husband does not pay his female staff members as much as his male employees . And two Palin is not cute she's drop dead gorgeous.

That's saying a lot!

Makes me think... Palin is good-looking, but her real "cuteness" comes from within.

I don’t recall making any rules, just expressing my disgust.

And I don’t give a rats behind what you like or don’t like.

This is a wise strategy [sarcasm]. She should keep mouthing off, speaking her mind, making comments about Sarah Palin, and drawing attention to the differences in their appearance and temperament.

They had her muzzled and locked away for a while. Only question is who made the decision to let her loose again. She loves mouthing off like this. Still working out that Princeton affirmative action karma and chip on her shoulder.
How...cute.

They’ve got Aunt Esther out campaigning again? Great. Now we have three candidates for the ‘gaffe a day’ award.

The Obama campaign - the gift that keeps on giving!

and another thing - I am tired of the ‘Michelle is the new Jackie O’ bull that keeps getting shoved down our throats.

Are women out there imitating her style? No. Is anyone talking about her other than the media? No.

But they are talking about and imitating someone else.

Her Tourette’s is going to sink them. She can’t repress this acerbic bad-girl mouthing off. She had to make a dig at the white gal. It’s part of her attitude. Goes back to that college thesis.

Good points. on the second point, Cute is a backhanded compliment. Downplaying Palin as cute which implies that Michelle Hussein-Obama is therefore beautiful.

Michelle is attractive. If she did’nt scowl and look angry she might even be pretty. Regardless her butt is two axe handles wide.
