Obama lipstick on collar: Who put it there? [Watch]

Why did President Obama have lipstick on his collar when he rose to make remarks at a White House reception Tuesday night?

Because an enthusiastic supporter had put it there accidentally, that’s why. He referred to that right up top as his way of softening up the crowd. Truth be told, he was already pretty happy to be there, as it was a celebration for Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Having been raised in Hawaii, Mr. Obama is something of a Pacific Islander himself.

Anyway, the president began by thanking everybody for the warmth of his reception.

“A sign of the warmth is the lipstick on my collar,” he said.

Then he said he knew the culprit, and he asked to see a woman named Jessica Sanchez.

“It wasn’t Jessica. It was her aunt. Where is she?” he said as the room dissolved in laughter.
