Michelle Obama: Don’t Just Vote for a Candidate Because She’s Cute

Yes, it would suck for the right to have an army of mindless zombie supporters like Barry has. Here’s a politically-incorrect hint: 97% of African Americans aren’t voting for The One because they like his foreign policy agenda.

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.

Emphasis mine. Seriously? She wants us to believe that she’s referring to herself over Sarah Palin? Michelle Obama’s not even a candidate so she wouldn’t have to worry about people voting for her because she’s cute. Consider this your daily dosage of intelligence insults.

As Allahpundit notes, this isn’t the first time that Team Obama has belittled Palin. We’ve had the “lipstick on a pig” remark, the insult to her credentials from Obama, the insult to her credentials from the campaign, and this little nugget from Obama’s better half (sadly enough).

Obama then moved on to politics, where she first brought up her husband’s vice-presidential choice. “I think it was a really good pick—Senator Joe Biden,” she said, and later added, “People say they have amazing chemistry, and it’s true.”

Obama continued with talk about Biden when she said, “What you learn about Barack from his choice is that he’s not afraid of smart people.” The crowd softly chuckled.

Yeah, a real genius Plugs is. Freakin Einstein.
