Luckily, he's so articulate that he can cloak his barbs in sweetness.
From The Hill:
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) slipped in a compliment — of sorts — about a fellow 2008 hopeful during his appearances on the Iowa stump last weekend.
“I want to wait and hear what John Edwards has to say, he’s kind of good-looking,” Obama envisioned Iowa caucus-goers from the small town of Clinton telling themselves. During an appearance in West Burlington, Iowa, the phrase appeared again, this time with Edwards as “kind of cute.”
Is Obama jealous? Does this have something to do with his ears?
I bet Edwards is ticked off that Obama is dismissing him as just another pretty face.
(Personally, I don't see it. I never have. Not my type, I guess.)
I also bet that Hillary Clinton is ticked off. Has Obama ever called her "kind of cute" or in any way said anything remotely complimentary about her appearance?
I can't be sure, but it's highly doubtful.
Obama doesn't want to come off as insincere.
