In a 2008 debate, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton joked that her feelings had been hurt by a report that she was not as likable as her opponent Barack Obama. She used the opportunity to praise Obama as "very likable." He returned the favor kind of slyly admitting that Clinton was "likable enough." Although his comment drew laughs from both the audience and Clinton, pundits later spun the moment as a show of condescension on the part of the future President.
