Michelle Obama says don’t vote for Palin because “she’s cute”
September 18th, 2008
From the Associated Press:
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.

I understand that despite the fact that Governor Palin put high school buddies into high paying government jobs for which they had no qualifications and fought hard for enormous amounts of federal money for pork barrel projects in Alaska, she is nevertheless a hero to many because she and her child had unplanned pregnancies. I fear this may set an example for others. So I would like to suggest that the children of mature women who are ready to start a family generally have a head start in life, and therefore, the women who plan pregnancies would be better role models.
