I can't understand the uproar caused in the United States over President Barack Obama's remarks on the good looks of California's female Attorney General, Kamala Harris. He's accused of old fashioned sexism!
I think, he was just giving expression to his thoughts by saying that she was the 'best looking AG' in the country. And what's wrong with that? Can't a man express his feelings? Or is it that the people who seem to be exercised by his words, suggesting that he's hinting at a relationship with the lady?
Come on, take a walk! Firstly, he'd be dumb to risk his presidency on a non issue like that and secondly, let's hypothetically take it to be true for a moment, then he'd chose much safer means to do so rather than crassly announce it to the world on a public forum!!
Can't help but laugh at the brouhaha over nothing. The yanks need not get after their President just because he hasn't been able to bring about the change that he'd promised - his approval ratings have been on the down slide!
As a far away observer, I'm sure that he didn't mean any harm!!
Tailpiece.
Wonder how we, in India, would have reacted to an issue like this?
