Obama Calls Reporter 'Sweetie' In Michigan

Barack Obama passed off a reporter today in Michigan, and she seemed less than amused by his name for her.

"Hold on one second there, sweetie," he says.

The reporter signed off: "This sweetie never did get an answer to that question."

What? Should he have complemented her on her "testicular fortitude" or have expressed approval that she wasn't a "pansy like Stallone"?

[MaryOK]

he should have answered the question.

ok let me get this straight, Sen Obama responds to a person yelling questions at him
with an attempt to be nice, and he's the asshole?

Lets not mention the tone of her question. Lets not mention the obvious gotcha style journalism
this lady attempted to draw Sen Obama into. Yet he still tried to be nice.

How about I come up to you while your in the middle of something and start yelling questions at you in an accusatory tone. I promise you sweetie is the last thing you would call me or anyone else who did that.

Some people cant live without drama.

He could call me sweetie anytime. Can't really see how Michelle lets him out of her sight. LOL

This is stupid. Why is this here?

[TonyKnuckles]

Because the media is starved for a gaffe from Sen. Obama.

[loper2008]

I'd be happy if BHO called me "sweetie."
