Ha ha! Maybe he was visiting John Boehner and peeked in his medicine cabinet and couldn't resist slathering on some of that orange ointment Boehner uses. lolJust Me said:
:lol:"...of course, the possibility exists that this is Mitt Romney running out of fucks to give and choosing to run the most entertaining screw-up of a campaign the US has ever seen from this point onward."
I feel it is very likely he has his own makeup guy, because someone has to do his makeup even when he's not on Univision. But whether they wanted his face five shades darker than his hands and neck to simulate Latino-ness may be up to debate.Shaun__ said:I do not like the man, but I do not know if he has his own personal makeup person. It could have been a station employee who did that to him.
Jupiter551 said:I could be incorrect, but it would seem to me that a person who is
a) running for president and making daily TV appearances
b) very wealthy
c) has tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars of campaign money
d) a huge campaign staff and
e)is, as all candidates extremely concerned about image;
would most definitely travel with a makeup artist among his or her entourage. :twocents-02cents:

It is not supposed to look good in person, it is supposed to look good on camera. Things like this are just a distraction from more important issues and are part of the problem with politics in this country.

It's also because he was caught on video telling a group of rich supporters at a fundraiser that life would be much easier if he were latino, rather than a rich white guy.Zoomer said:From memory, don't those who are running get advice right down to the shoes and tie they wear? The colours, the style - it is actually researched to appeal to voters based upon whatever criteria.
Could applying a bit of fake tan to try and make him appeal to a certain demographic? Surely it'd only be relevant if he's in an area where there is a far higher than average (can't be arsed to read the articles, the terminology is heavily loaded - brown face? It's called fake tan) instead of in a run-of-the-mill (meaning normal) campaigning location.
I would not be surprised if he was told to get a fake tan to appeal more to a certain demographic, but I definitely believe that the opposition oriented media are seizing upon his fake tan and attempting to alter perceptions with regards to its purpose. I would not be surprised if they've done a "which is the better candidate" where people choose between two different faces - one tanned, one pasty white, and found most people chose the tanned because it's more attractive and we humans are very shallow.

He wasn't right, it was the fact that he can't see how completely ridiculously wrong he was that is one of the reasons it's so offensive.Zoomer said:So he was probably right in what he said, but obviously it's a retarded thing to say when on camera.
