Obama Apologizes for Praising Attorney General's Looks

The Attorney General, Kamala Harris, received a phone call this week from president Obama apologizing for saying "she is the best looking attorney general in the country." Some have criticized him for this offensive statement arguing that women have worked very hard in this country in order to achieve high stations and should not be reduced to aesthetics.

What do you think? Is this statement by the president offensive? Why or why not?
