President Barack Obama sidestepped a likely argument with First Lady Michelle Obama during an event at the White House commemorating Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, reports Pix 11.
Two smudges from lipstick could be seen on the President’s white collar as he made his remarks from the podium.
The President said he had an idea of where the marks may have come from.
“Where is Jessica Sanchez?” Obama asked. “Jessica — it wasn’t Jessica, it was her aunt, where is she? Auntie, right there — look at this,” the president said while pointing at the two red smudges on his shirt collar.
“So, I do not want to be in trouble with Michelle,” Obama said. “That’s why I’m calling you out in front of everybody.”
Later the President took time to recognize the recent confirmation of Sri Srinivasan to the U.S. Court of Appeals. Srinivasan is the first South Asian American to sit on the Federal Bench.
