President Obama Calls Attorney General Kamala Harris Hot And Gets Into Trouble For It

President Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama is in a bit of a pickle tonight. He complimented the pretty Attorney General of the State of California, Kamala Harris and feminists online pounced on him for it. The two have something in common. Harris is mixed race like Obama. Harris' father is a black Jamaican and her mother is from India.

Obama stated of the exotic Harris, "You have to be careful to, first of all, say she is brilliant and she is dedicated and she is tough, and she is exactly what you’d want in anybody who is administering the law, and making sure that everybody is getting a fair shake. She also happens to be by far the best-looking attorney general in the country — Kamala Harris is here."

Yea, maybe he should have kept that last line in his head. As stated previously, I'm not a feminist and I do like to compliment the opposite sex, but if the person is married, that should be avoided (in this case Obama is married and Harris is single). You don't want it to be taken the wrong way, when you are simply trying to say something positive about another person. It could be misconstrued.

If I thought for one moment that’s what was going on, you better believe I’d hammer him for it. But that’s not the case here. Far from it. So lighten up, people.

Obama's Harris 'compliment' backfires

4/4/13 8:37 PM EDT - Ohio’s Mike DeWine, Alabama’s Luther Strange and Georgia’s Sam Olens, eat your hearts out: President Barack Obama thinks California’s Kamala Harris is the belle of the ball among the nation’s top government lawyers.

"She’s brilliant and she’s dedicated, she’s tough … She also happens to be, by far, the best looking attorney general," Obama said at a Democratic National Committee luncheon in Atherton, Calif., Thursday. "It’s true! C’mon." Obama’s remark set the chattering class atwitter.
Certainly, Obama meant no insult, but in singling out Harris for her looks, Obama joins a long list of public figures who just can’t seem to let an attractive woman’s looks go without comment...
