Politicians who are involved in actual scandal could take some notes from President Obama, who explained lipstick on his collar before others could use their imagination.

The POTUS was speaking at a White House reception for Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, when he noticed a red mark on his collar. He jokingly explained to the audience who the culprit was, and it just so happens to be someone related to an American Idol runner-up. Jessica Sanchez’s aunt to be precise.

“I just want everybody to witness. I do not want to be in trouble with Michelle. That’s why I am calling you out right in front of everybody.”

Enjoy the humorous and well played moment by our President below.
