President Obama gestures to lipstick marks on his collar in the East Room of the White House last night.
President Obama delivered a speech in the East Room of the White House last night, sporting a lipstick smear on his collar.
He pinned the blame on the aunt of Jessica Sanchez, a runner-up on the talent show "American Idol," who was in the audience, and said it was a "sign of warmth" from the audience.
"I do not want to be in trouble with Michelle," Obama said in a joking reference to the first lady, "so I'm calling you out."
Obama spoke at a White House event marking Asian-American Pacific Islander Heritage Month. He lauded Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders for helping build and defend the United States, and he called for immigration laws that would respect that history.
A White House-backed immigration overhaul is working its way through Congress. The bill would remake immigration laws, enhance border security and put the estimated 11 million people living in the U.S. illegally on a path to citizenship.
