Lipstick?

I am not the biggest fan of Barack Obama…it’s unlikely I will vote for him. But I’m not really a fan of John McCain either. And as I wrote in another post, I truly hope none of us will vote solely on the basis of gender, color or age. Let’s just vote for who we believe will do the best job.

That said, I can hardly believe the latest brouhaha over Barack’s “lipstick” comment. I absolutely do not believe he intended anything by it, toward Sarah Palin (or any other woman).

I think it was one of those times – we’ve all had them! – where somebody says something (Gov. Palin mentioned lipstick), it sticks in your head and soon pops out of your mouth. No malice implied or planned. Simple human nature.

It may not show orignal thinking on Sen. Obama’s part, but I truly do not believe he was being derogatory toward Gov. Palin.
