Seriously? Is this deemed offensive?

Or is it the ultimate faux pas these days to compliment a lady?

[coccinelle]

That's just the republicans making yet another scandal. If they spent more time doing their job rather than knock him down the country could get something done. But of course, that's not in their interest is it?

I could understand a little if he'd made the comments on Capitol Hill, but at a fund raiser?
Jeez!

So - do I sue the postie who calls me 'darling' or the one who calls me 'mate'? I think that life is too short to spend any time this over.

We all say stuff off the cuff - sometimes badly thought out, are we all going to be sued?

The sexist *&^%$ - Seriously what woman finds a compliment offensive?

[SlackAlice]

I think someone wanted a bit of free publicity ☺

[coccinelle]

She wasn't the person who was offended.

[humbersloop]

his "lipstick on a pig" comment was classier

[missnemesis]

These days it rarely is the person concerned who is offended. It's others who become offended on the person's behalf that make the fuss.

[MadMen]

I wouldn't say it's "offensive". More inappropriate.

But then this is Obama we're talking about!

[coccinelle]

humbersloop; that was thrown out of proportion as well. it was sarah Palin who said herself the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull was lipstick.

This was at a fundraiser...a more relaxed venue than most-and he was talking about a personal friend. I really don't understand the fuss...I'd rather see the human side of a politician sometimes rather than stiff PC all the time.

[humbersloop]

I know it was coccinelle, though imo his remark also happened to be accurate ;)

[ChillDoubt]

To be fair to him.......

Have you seen her?



I would! LOL

[emmie]

no it's no offensive.
