Barack Obama Calls Reporter Sweety

Posted on May 15, 2008 at 11:56 am (PST)

Barack Obama was touring a Detroit auto plant, when a female reporter asked a question:

"Senator, how are you going to help the American auto worker?"

Barack’s response:

"Hold on, hold on one moment sweety. We’re going to do a [inadible]"

The reporter was pissed. In her tone she made it clear she did not like Barack’s demeaning and degrading use of the word "sweety." Barack has no respect for _____________.

How do you think Hillary Clinton would have responded?

Update: Barack left a phone message for the TV reporter saying his comment was a “bad habit,” and he “meant no disrespect.” His words reveal how he really feels about women, make no mistake about that.

    Not To make Excuses, But Seriously Folks, Obama is In The Eye Of A Violent, Vicious Unrelenting Media Hurricane. Asking Anyone A Important Question while Throngs Of Spectators, Reporters And Bodyguards Swirl Around You In A Swarm of Bees-like Fashion Is NOT Conducive To A Politically correct Answer 100% of the Time. What Someone says in The Eye of the Storm Is Not Always what They Mean. When They Are In A Setting Where they Are Presented With A serious Question and have Time To think carefully Before responding, You Are Much More Like To get A Serious, Well Thought Out Answer.

    sorry i dont get it, what is the fuss about being called a “sweety”? When has an innocent word became such a word to be indignant over? My friends call me sweet and butcher over the counter call me sweet and I didnt find it morbid. I call people “sweet” as well when I sometimes put people on hold. Its like telling someone “can i help u dear.” and just being polite about it. I think folks in states need to learn to chill out and stop taking everything at face value and stir up media hype over something so trivial. If u want to evaluate a candidate or pick on someone, then pick on their campagin message, their future plans, their contributions and intention to lead your country out of its current mess. No wonder you guys always put such uselss people like bush up for so many terms. You cannot even see a fraud right in your face and still blindly kicking up fuss in the most ridiculous area….
