How far is too far?

Obama comments about the looks of an AG and he is deemed as a sexist.

Thoughts?

When will this political correct bullshit stop?
If you have beliefs that people don't agree with you are a bigot(gay marriage argument)
If you say anything positive or negative about gender you are a sexist( Musburger)

So, Obama would give her the D. I wonder if he would have made the same comment before re-election.

I think its a little unprofessional for him to make the comment.

How gay is too gay?

Because when you're in a room full of smart people, smart suddenly doesn't matter—interesting is what matters.
 

LOL she is the best looking. I see nothing wrong with this...she's hot. It's not like he got up and said "hell yeah son I'd tap that, her and Michelle at the same time WOOOO!" he just paid a civil compliment.

TNAYeah, I give Obama a pass on this. Nice to see that he can be a normal dude for a moment.
maybe...

or, maybe his official speech writer suggested this would be a great "humor tactic, but perhaps risky" so the white house PR team debated about it for 2 hours, they went with it, and it ended up somewhat backfiring

well, that's how I screen my jokes at least, not sure about Obama

 
West Coast rainmakerWhen I hear women getting upset over being complemented, I just think, "You don't have any real problems, do you?"

An excellent observation sir. Frankly, the media is pathetic. Do we as a nation not have more important things to worry about than our president sarcastically complimenting another professional? God how boring would the world be if all you could ever say to another person was hello and goodbye for fear of insulting them.

I wonder if they complain about being complemented as much as being complimented, but yes, it's utterly ridiculous that you can't really say anything anymore, even when your intentions are pure.

People need to grow the hell up and look to the spirit of what is being said, rather than the letter of what is being said. Obama's comment was innocuous and lighthearted. Everyone in this country within the political and corporate spectra needs to chillax.

 
holla_backA Republican politician would have been destroyed by the media for comments like this.
They probably also would have been boning her while getting on a democrat's case about adultery LOL

From wikipedia:

Harris is the first female,3 African-American45, and Asian American attorney general in California, as well as the first ethnic Indian American attorney general in the United States.[6]7

Are you fucking kidding me? People are counting on everything so fucking much now that the only fucking firsts left are indian/african american mixes? I dont give half a shit about Obama saying the broad is hot or not. What I do get my jimmies rustled about is the fucking first fetish.

SirTradesaLotNever heard of her. Kind of disappointed when I Googled her.
Likewise.
I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
