  • THE CORPERATE GLOBALIST PUT THIS UNKNOWN BASTARD IN OFFICE

  • If it's not my mom, and I'm not 4, no one should be calling me sweetie.

    It's belittling and creepy. It makes him sound like a pedo. Guys who call people sweetie gross me out. They're not married, she's not his sweetie.

  • He's a pimp he like hold on there sweetie now im out the door like when going to work did you go out drinking last night? Hold on baby next thing you know you left her in the living room and your out there door.

  • sweetie sounds so cute and lovely. would you rather have him say "hold on woman". having said that, WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING OUTSIDE THE KITCHEN?!

  • Obama is a liar and a communist, SWEETIE! 

  • Oh no he called someone a term of endearment, quick, everyone get worked over nothing!

  • He can't answer everybody's questions while he's walking somewhere. Get over yourself.

  • maybe you shouldn't have been screaming at him while he was trying to speak to the workers...sweetie

  • ...I'm sure she enjoyed that on the inside lol. All the fuss and he still won LOL.

  • @capricornkarma yeah but he's still a piece of shit.

  • somebody got her feathers ruffled.. wasn't there a press Q&A ..that woulda been a good time to bring up ur questions

  • Google image search this reporter. Trust me, sweetie is a compliment especially to the likes of her.

    At the end of the day, no matter what you do or say as a man, there's always going to be some fat bitch who is offended. Obama should've sent her 10 big macs and a bucket of chicken alongside his apology.

  • Sounded like a fucking compliment to me.

  • "Hold on one second sweetie,.... or should I just call you sugar tits?"

  • Anyone You Tube Peggy Agar Getting Hit By a Pie

  • i heard "sweaty"

  • o wow! whatta big deal. no way did he really say "sweetie" holy shit what a mean thing for him to say.

  • @Darylmckenna Mean? No. Sexist and demeaning? You bet.

  • He should have called her a cunt bitch instead because obviously thats what she was.

  • after he called her that he then could introduce himself as the "liar faggot from kenya..."

    rude.

  • So you make a rude comment then admit yer rude. LOL are u retarded or just stupid?

  • ANSWER:

    neither.

    fuck you.

  • suck a dick bi-atch!

  • ok sounds good deal.

  • I don't see it as sexist. But it is pretty condescending when combined with the fact he dodged a legitimate question. Of course, this isn't the first time Obama has said something that made him look like an arrogant snob.

  • Is everyone seriously making a huge deal out of this?? I honestly don't understand. It's not like he called her "sweetie" while winking and smacking her ass. Geez, give it a rest.

  • Ew. How condescending.

  • poor little sweetie

  • obv the female reporter in question wasnt a daddys girl, and doesnt respond well to him using the term of endearment to put off her important question about daddys work :P

    sigh it wasnt the most sexest comment ive ever seen but lol at the offhand remark.

  • PEGGY AGAR FANS UNITE

  • "Sweetie"? It's dismissive and disrespectful to address a woman in a professional environment that way. It's not the end of the world, but those who are insulting the reporter for Obama's bad behavior are way off base.

  • Damn Feminists Need To Get A Life And Bash Out Theyre Anger Somewhere Else Then On Us Men Go To Therapy Or Do Sports Or Something ?!

    BIOTCH !

  • It would be a rather sad and mad world if the use of the word Sweetie could end a political career. I think it puts him in a rather charming light, especially as he's now the most powerful man in the world. He can call me Sweetie if he likes!

  • Well said that would be very sad. It wasnt that serious he didnt mean it in a demeaning way.

  • Dear peggy,

    Get a LIFE! lol

    He can call me sweety ANY DAY!

    Since when is being nice a crime?

    What a joke!

  • this bitch should get a fucking life and get off her high horse

  • she should be home cooking and cleaning.. she shouldn't be in the workplace.

  • lol : )

  • Actually, he's President elect.

    YOU = FAIL

  • If Old man River McCain would have said this.......I can Imagine the Shit Storm afterwards! LOL!

  • I need a man 2 treat me like a queen M

  • im totally 100% naked now hehe C

  • ***Why should I hire a union tradesman to work for me--I live in Manhattan--I prefer hiring the illegal immigrants who charge so much less and do not demand health care and benefits. Union workers are so unrealistic.

  • Protect America's future, DEFEAT OBAMA!!!

    McCain/Palin '08 Reform. Prosperity. Peace.

  • People be asking Barack Obama questions at the wrong time, and he gets irritated at that. Just like the guy that was crying for a picture with Barack and Barack was in the middle of talking to a group of kids...that's not right. I can understand Obama's irritation when it comes to that...

  • I agree with the post below. People need to start putting their priorities in order. And his use of the term "sweetie" didn't sounds misogynist, it's just casual public relations with no intention for disrespect.

  • this is so STUPID.

    his purpose there was NOT to answer questions-

    if it was he would've been there for hours.

    how dare you call him a misogynist on the fact that he called her "sweetie" all of the remarks and comments I am reading below here are based on STRETCHED truths.

    People you all need to OPEN your eyes and look at WHAT THE HELL IS IMPORTANT here.

  • Obama's hate machine now says don't vote for the gramps and the tramp. This man is not who I want in office. He is old school Chicago Politics: self -first! He didn't even vet Hillary - stupid.

  • Obama does not like woman.. calls them sweetie, flips the bird at Hillary and calls Palin a pig.. and all those Obama sweeties working so hard for this creep. all videos on youtube to view.

  • are you serious? Are you basing your comment on any sort of reality or are you taking a wild swing at obama?

    Obama is one the best supporters for women rights. Your speaking out of your ass.

  • Barack Obama the 44th President of the United States. Bye SWEETY.

  • because its disrespectful! and he never answered her!

  • Is this really news? Anybody who has done their research knows that Barack Obama is a misogynist. He has abandonment issues because of his mother. Look at the woman he married, how can he not hate her? He snipes that Palin doesn't have the experience, despite the fact that she has more experience than him (what he's really saying is that he doesn't think a woman is qualified)

  • By the way, I'm an Obama supporter - if you didn't already realize, lol.

    I think what made this bad was that he didn't answer her question. Which I would agree with.

    However I'm curious to why she decided to interrupt what he was doing, when news outlets usually get interviews after things like this.

    I still think the "sweetie" controversy is Republicans smear bullshit though.

  • Jesus Christ people.

    He said "sweetie". Fucking big deal. Republicans are so sensitive.

    "No, he said "sweetie"! We can't elect a nice president! I prefer cunt when talking to women like my buddy McCain!"

    Whats funny is this is all old people. People in their 40's and 50's who need to increase their sense of self worth by jumping on someone for nothing. Fucking grow up.

  • What will come out of his mouth next?

  • Who the hell cares?! When will Americans start focussing on the actual issues and not this kind of crap?

  • WOW. Holy crap. Could you imagine if McCain or Bush called a reporter "sweetie" dismissively like that?

  • Who says they haven't?

  • Who says they have?

    Proof please.

  • You are going to tell me that throughout McCains Senate career he hasn't accidentally patronized somebody?

    Get real.

  • Prove it, show me some kind of evidence.. Please... Show me!

    PROOF!

  • Give me proof that McCain is going to lower taxes for regular Americans.

    Give me proof McCain is a friend of the troops despite them giving 4x more money Obama.

    Give me proof of his being a reformer.

    Give me proof of him ever knowing what the fuck he's talking about.

    If you are so keen on asking for proof on a bullshit non-issue, then why don't you question McCain on his anti-Americanism and his hatred of the troops? The voting records are not enough proof for you?

  • You must think I'm stupid.

    You make up shit like Obama getting 4x more money from the troops than McCain. It's true however Obama has got more money from the troops buy its not even 2x, it's only a few thousand dollars. Just like Obama has got more money from Americans not in the military, not 2x more, only a few million. Troops = Americans. Defend Obama, you'd probably risk your life.. it's sad. McCain has had his entire life as proof of what he's done. If you dont know about it.. wow..

  • I think this is a very disingenuous local "news story". How many people do you think there are behind the constant screams of questions in the large places Obama visits? This lady was clearly one of them. I don't like "sweetie", though, anyway, but I see it as a bumble.

  • oh man. So he really is a misogynist. I thought that was just posturing from bitter Hillary people. That "sweetie" was super dismissive. Like he was talking to one of his kids. Wow.

  • Coyote1911- i dont think he would be staring at the audience if he were reading off a teleprompter

  • To claim that Obama isn't brilliant is STUPID!

    Barack Obama graduated Magna Cum Laude from TWO IVY LEAGUE SCHOOLS!

    Obama was President of the Harvard Law Review!

    Obama was a Constitutional Law Professor!

    Obama was fatigued when he said this, and anyone with half a brain would conclude this!

    John McCain, dumb enough to be "Captured by the enemy", graduated 894 out of a class of 899 at the Naval Academy!

    Bloppers of DUMB MCCAIN are already being done-he's not even in office.

  • I think Obama and Berlusconi will get along very well.

  • Obama is the best

  • It's just "sweetie".

    Why make such a fuss?

  • Typical Obama. Never can answer any actual hard questions. All he can do is read nice speeches off the teleprompter. You know why he is afreaid to do previously agreed to side by side town hall meetings with Mr McCain? Because John McCain is gonna tear him apart when they get into a debate.

  • FLIP-FLOP JOHN MCCAIN:

    *Signing of the GI Bill: Now for it... after it passed. Previously attacked the Webb Bill. Didn't even bother to vote on it.

    *Agents of Intolerance: Jerry Falwell...an "agent of intolerance" in 2000, not in 2007... Hagee and Parsley were in, now out.

    *Martin Luther King Holiday: In 1983, opposed Martin Luther King Day. Today, he's for it.

    *Evolution in Public Schools: In 2005, said alternatives to evolution should be taught. Took the opposite position in 2000.

  • That looked like a tour of the plant. Why was she hounding the man. He should go on her job and just out of the blue just ask her how is she going to be a more respectful reporter.Just another leach trying to make a name for herself.

    No class at all what a drag!

  • Chill out sweetie

  • see i wont even get mad about that. i know i got out of place.  thank you

  • I never came across this comment. I am quite surprised and angered but then not so much because after all he is black guy and they dont have the highest etiquettes among humans. Calling a woman sweetie, esp a reporter, is obnoxious and very close to offense if not an offense. I am worried are we going to see more of it, possibly so. I may well vote for obama but I know he can be disaster as well.

  • folks, get a life. men and woman both use the term "sweetie" for females as a term of endearment. going beyond this is reading way too much into it.

  • What a pompous jackass.

  • test

  • "Revel", what the hell does that have to do with winning back the White House? Wake up!

    "Revel" while the country is falling apart. Good one but I think I will pass.

    If you truly could care less then you will ashamed when Obama is thumped in November. Revel in that!

  • Clearly you don't care about the fact that both African Americans and people of other minority races have made a major turning point in our history. Clearly, you don't give a crap that Senator Obama has EARNED a seat in history tonight. But then again, you don't care about our economy, do you? You along with so many jackass' that support Clinton think that Voting out of spite will do themselves so much good, when this will only kill the nation even fucking further.

  • sorry. I was supposed to get out the "f**king" thing...

    I was venting my anger over Clinton's ungreatful speech tonight...

  • Obama just won the race for the Democratic party and McCain just won the race for the President of the United States!

    Why did we get caught up with someone that has NO chance in winning?!?!?! How sad.

  • Can't you just let us African Americans revel in the fact that History has been made? jeez.

    Also, there are no signs saying that Obama has no chance. However, if you truly want to vote for a continuation of the economic destruction that Bush and McCain have endorsed, a continuation in the increase of gas prices, I honestly could care less.

  • Sounds divided to me...

    I thought his nomination was something WE ALL were supposed to be able to embrace. My black soldier husband in Iraq tonight isn't reveling. He's worried. And now I don't exactly feel 'included.' What happened?

  • Wow...

    In all honesty, I would've never even fathomed that sort of reaction from an African-American...

    I'm not sure what happened-...

    I'm speechless...

  • So, I guess your point is that you EXPECT all African-Americans to feel the same way? Just like TYPICAL whites ALL feel the same way?

    Proved the point.

    Maybe someday we'll all be allowed to have our own opinions - but that day has clearly not come.

  • I'm not saying that his reaction is wrong. It's just that I've heard so many blacks, myself included, revel in the fact that this man has essentially made history. I'm not saying that every black person should like or vote for him because he's black. I believe in judging a person by their actions, not their skin or sex.

    It's just that history has obviously been made, and barriers have been broken for both African-Americans and women alike. I'd expect an acknowledgment of this feat, is all.

  • race war and hate will remain in the usa until the end of time

  • I will not vote for Obama because he said "sweetie"

  • HOLD ON NOW!!!! HAS ANYONE SEEN SAID "SWEETIE", do not be too harsh to judge Obama without seeing the actual journalist who garnished such a comment... she was probably very sweet looking.

  • Obama has no substance. He's all talk, no action.

  • Whatever you say, sweetie.

  • Also, I've seen the comments that people have made within the past few days about Nancy Pelosi refusing to allow the Florida/Michigan Delegates to be seated the way Clinton wants. The fact that you all make the comments that you do regardingthis is very hypocritical.

    How do you criticize the Speaker of the House, a person who, before the race started, all women endeared and loved by saying that she shouldn't weigh in? She is a SD, and a political figure; it's her job to make these decesions.

  • Damn, I really wanted to vote for a democrate this year. I really like Hilary but Obama insists on taking away our MI votes for his own benefit. What a typical sexist politician!!!!

    Hey, Obama! This "Sweetie" dame will now be voting for Mccain!!!

    I can't wait to vote your ass all the way back to Trinity-"South Side"!!! Just watch, you will be a member there again this time next year. And all will be forgiven--you BIG FAKE!!!!!!

  • Obama didn't make the decision to place four delegates that were for Clinton into his camp, the DNC did. If you're going to complain about that, you oughta complain about it at the source.

  • ahhh, another story that went absolutely nowhere. lol

  • he's sexists sweety

  • Its not a big deal, we hear the reporter giggle after he said it. Besides, he later said sorry for it.

  • No, obamba apologizes for every fuckin mistake he makes, which is every damn speech. And people made fun of Bush speaking, at least he didn't say a million things wrong and then apologize for them. I've never heard such a dumbass candidate speak so messed up. McCain doesn't fuck around when it comes to helping out blue collar Americans. People are starting to get tired of hearing obamba's repetitive and lies of speeches.

  • hey did you know that when Obama was in Pittsburgh eating pancakes at some breakfast place he told the owner that the Wrigley Field was for the "hoighty toighty" Cub fans??!! He was trying to act working class...He made it sound like the "Cellular Field" (sox) was old and Wrigley new! That's why he was a White Sox Fan...(not so hoity toity!) What a bullsh--er

  • Wow... I am not surprised. And he would say something stupid like "hoighty toighty" If he's a Sox fan, that really sux though. He's a disgrace to the White Sox organization. What a dumbfuck

  • Heck, at least he does apologize. Hillary Clinton constantly makes foolish mistakes when she speaks. Obama has to apologize because of people like you, filtering through every breath he makes to use as an excuse to not vote for him.

    Hillary Clinton has yet to apologize for mocking Obama supporters, she has yet to apologize for the many offensive statements that her supporters and surrogates have made towards us or Obama, and she certainly hasn't apologized for Bill's comments.

  • Yea but Mike, obama apologizes way too often because he always makes careless remarks. When he was criticized during the Rev. Wright incident, and after it was well-known he doesn't salute the American flag and doesn't wear a flag pin, he spoke with about 8 flags behind him, which was hypocritical. He fucked up on the "liberating Auschwitz" And doesn't mention his friendship with Bill Ayers. He would meet with Iran without pre-conditions. I could never vote for someone like that.

  • Interesting. It's hypocritical for someone to not wear a flag lapel or salute the flag, and yet it's not wrong for...say...a Jehovah's Witness individual to not do the same because of religious beliefs. Are they any less patriotic?

    You talk about how Obama screwed up liberating Auschwitz, and yet you ignore the fact that Clinton blatantly lied about her trip to Bosnia several times. She lied to her blue collar supporters about the "benefits" of her gas tax suspension. Are these no worse?

  • I'm well aware of Clinton's mistakes, I believe the Bosnia one was the worst of her campaign. But she doesn't live off of the words "hope and change" like obama does. She has been in politics much longer and was with her husband for 8 yrs in the white house. Believe me, I'm a McCain supporter and will remain a Republican but I'd rather see Clinton as the next President instead of Obama if they happen to win. Maps favor Clinton vs. McCain rather than Obama vs McCain and Clintonites hate Obama

  • She's had a few more years in the Senate, no doubt. However, that doesn't mean she's so much better prepared. Her being in the White House is not a proper criteria on which to base her experience.

    Abraham Lincoln is an awesome example of what a person of little experience can accomplish when they aren't distracted by the way things usually go.

    [continued]

  • A majority of Abraham Lincoln's presidency was spent in the Civil War. He hated the mere thought of war, yet he decided that it'd be the only way to preserve the United State Union. Along with his actions as commander-in-chief of the Union Army (he also had no prior experience), but he also enacted the ever famous Emancipation Proclamation. This legislative action, while didn't truly free any slaves immediately, nor did it count in border states, allowed a small increase in rights for Blacks.

  • watch vid: Dirty Barack Obama

    watch?v=S3Ned5TQoW4&feature=Pl­ayList&p=4DD59DDD0B041930&inde­x=71

    Watch: Obama's forgotten People

    watch: Obama's Failures in Illinois...Blood on Barack's hands

  • I think Obama biggest help to the American people will to be honest, we can help ourselves, we cant fix the international hate people have for us without the truth. I'm in the army and theres lots of lies going down.

  • yes, and "iron my shirt" was just a guy who had wrinkly clothes.

  • obama is a sexist dumb ass

  • agreed on the sexist part.

  • And you're an ignorant fool.

  • Well I'm very sure Obama didn't mean any harm. The news lady is just a cunt trying to make him look bad.

  • I live in North Carolina and everyone says sweetie, sugar, honey, ect. I go to Applebees "what are you having sug" I go to the store "85 cents honey". I call dominoes "we'll be there in about 40 minutes sweetie"

  • Fine.

    Your waitress is not supposedly a constitutional law professor running for president. She doesn't address you that way in a professional setting - it's an informal, social setting. He isn't from the south. The woman was (trying) to do her job. And oh yeah, there are laws about it when it's professional. There is a time and place issue.

  • I can understand there being a time and place for the use of certain terms, but sweetie is not a sexist term. "Bitch" is a sexist term. "Sweet thang" is an sexist term. "Slut" is a sexually motivated sexist term. He has yet to call Hillary Clinton or ANY woman, these things.

  • Yet? Yet, we wait for yet another apology from the moronic Mr. Obama. lol Boy ("Sweetie"), you sure drank the cool aid! *snicker* lmao

    Btw, What is the % of blacks voting for Obama? Too high to be considered anything but a RACE vote! Most people (any race) would not respect such voters bc they are voting based on their race. So, Obama, his crazy racist rev. or priest, his wife, his racist white grandmother are victims?

    There is pride and then there is foolish pride mixed with cool aid. lol

  • Personally, I am straight up offended by what you've just said. But seeing as you criticize people who have dreamed and prayed for a Black president (and a good one at that), why not criticize the people who are so dogmatic on having the first woman for president. A vast majority of people voting for Senator Clinton who are women vote for her strictly because of her sex. Virtually every Clinton Supporter who rioted at the results of the DNCs decision last week were women. Are they exempt?

  • "rioted" = protesting??? Is that right? That is your point? Obama fanatics will say anything to try and make their dream vote come true.

    I wanted a Democrat in the White House this year. I didn't care for Hilary but she is much more qualified than Obama--SO MUCH MORE! Obama is so radical left--unlike the country. The majority of citizens will NEVER elect him to the White House! What a waste!

    Now we must prepare for President McCain bc that is the best choice for our country's future.

  • In my opinion, this attention-seeking woman is starved for attention; why would she cavil and show such umbrage over something so petty? It's a term of endearment..good Gawd, people get offended over any and everything!

  • oops!

  • since when did "Sweetie" become sexist?? A bad choice of words for a professional setting yes but Sexist???

  • ask the EEOC how they would regard a man calling a professional journalist "Sweetie" while dissing her at the same time as the surrounding men laugh..Make sure you tell them she was less able to do her job effectively since he refused to answer her question while calling her "Sweetie".

  • Firstly, he has answered the questions of many a female journalist (a fair majority of people questioning him in a news conference regarding his decision to leave Trinity were female).

    Secondly, calling a person sweetie isn't important. The economic crisis that our country is facing is. Anyone who tries to say that he's sexist because of this is just looking for a lame excuse to not vote for him in November.

    Thirdly, why don't you criticize the men that laughed while you criticise Obama?

  • mike5033: since you're name is mike and you don't seem to grasp how offensive it is to women to be called "Sweetie" on the job, I'm going to assume you are a man.

    It's offensive and insulting to be called Sweetie. Didn't you hear all the MEN laugh? We are not NOT voting for Obama because of this. We are NOT voting for him because he is corrupt, deceptive and has horrifying mentors.

    See: Obama's forgotten people

  • And I'm very hesitant on voting for Clinton if she [miraculously] clinches the nomination because of the racism that she invites into her campaign, and ignores in regards to her voters.

    Also, I find it funny that you'll criticize Obama for saying "sweetie", but you won't rebuke the men for laughing.

    Geraldine Ferraro's comments, Bill's comparing Obama's win in South Carolina to Jessie Jackson when he wasn't even asked about Obama's win, Bill referring to Obama as a "boy"- the list goes on.

  • What if I used the term "Boy" when talking to Obama? Is that wrong? I would think calling a professional reporter "Sweetie" to shut her up is WRONG! Funny how Obama supporters can't see anything wrong with their "Man". btw, stop defending him...he admits all his mistakes. He apologizes at least once a week for his dumbass remarks or bc of his racist church!

  • Would it be wrong to say "Boy" if referring to Obama?

    To white people, no. It's never seemed offensive to a white individual to call anyone else a boy. However, it is very offensive to Black People such as myself. When whites couldn't call black people "niggers", they used other demeaning terms, including porch monkey and, when referring to grown black men, "boy".

    Call us sensitive if you want, but we still experience a form of racism that y'all don't see, as women still experience sexism.

  • I am a man and almost every female cashier, receptionist etc over 40 years old calls me sweetie or honey. I find it offensive only because of the double standard.

    Maybe she was a hot piece of ass. Any lady who is pissed probably never gets called sweetie. Or is a lesbian haha.

    Men will always be men and women will always be women. Deal with it sweeties.

  • he just thinks of himself as being so cool and like a rock star..he does not know better

  • I know this is a week old, but I can't help but step in.

    YOu think he thinks he's so cool, yet Hillary Clinton thinks herself as being so "deserving" of the presidency. "Preperation" and having the name "Clinton" doesn't guarentee ANYONE the spot.

  • you know mike..I believe they all think they are deserving to be president or they would not be running...she has 35 yrs of experience and I have the list of accomplishments..Obama a communtiy organ/state senate and us senate for 2 yrs...who would u trust for an operation 35 yrs of experience or the other

  • I'm not completely aware of the depth or lack of depth of the democratic candidates, but I know one thing: I'd trust either or both of them with our country than I would John McCain.

  • quick commetn on Pelosi: ppl are upset because she says I will step in like she is queen of the damn:: If clinton wants to take it to the convention she has that right: if she wants to appeal to the rules committee she has that right: Even Kennedy and McGovern took it to the convention: Pelosi better be careful or the women of ca will vote her out of that long held seat..McCains veto pen will be controled by a dem congress and Hillary will run in 2012. Obama will be proven unelectalbe..

  • Yeh, it's too bad that the one thing in this world you know is WRONG!

  • A person who supports the way gas and oil is handled now is better than Obama?

    A person who says that the economy is still in good shape when we can't afford groceries is better than Obama?

    A person who says "I'll suspend the gas tax and give you $26 dollars for the summer. Now shove it" is better than Obama?

    A person who wants to keep our troops in Iraq for another 100 years is better than Obama?

    In the end, your choices are better the country, or continue to pile drive it into the ground.

  • "sweetie" gasp lol.

  • It is derogatory to refer to someone as "sweetie" in a professional setting. End of story.

  • Hardcore Hillary Supporters cost Kerry the 2004 election by not voting for him? Who did we vote for? Where did you hear that fairy tale?

  • If the reporter was kind and younger than Sen. Obama, "sweetie" was a term of endearment, and not something to consider sexist. Remember he has two daughters and "sweetie" may be something that he says to them often... as a term of endearment.

    I only get offend if folks who are younger than me call me "sweetie."

  • So, how is it he knew whether she was 'kind' or not? Oh, I get it - I'm a 40 year old woman out doing my job and I want to be treated the same way a man treats his children. Next time Tim Russert asks him a quesiton, I suppose he'll call him 'kiddo' because that's what my husband calls our son. In a professional setting it's not OK and the EEOC underscores it. A man who supposedly taught constitutional law should know that. It wasn't a social setting; the woman was there in her job capacity.

  • How is calling someone "sweetie" sexist? What about hardcore Hillary supporters costing Kerry the 2004 election by not voting for him? What about hardcore Hillary supporters threatening to not vote for Obama should he become the nominee? These people's priorities are not to better the democratic party but to dictate what it should be!

  • So this is what we've come to...getting upset about a person calling a woman sweetie. Honestly, what is wrong with you people? I know you hate Obama, but this is ridiculous! People call women sweetie all the freaking time! What the heck makes this any different?!

  • Hey Mike,

    Try that at work sometime.

    People do not call women 'sweetie' all the time in the workplace. Unless it's Hooters, I guess.

    It's not OK at work.

    Socially is one thing.

    Here's the test: what would he have said to a man in the same situation? Buddy? Bro? Kiddo? Sport? Dude? Right. Tim Russert asks him a question and he says, "Hold on a minute, Sport." and then doesn't answer it?

    Not cool

  • I'm pretty hardcore about my feminism and I agree with you! Maybe it's because I grew up in the south, where "informal terms of endearment" are used regularlly. I would've been a bit peeved if he would have been sarcastic or derisive, but he wasn't. Personally if i was that reporter i would have been more angry about him not answering the question than the sweetie thing

  • Thank you. Now admittadly, he did make a blunder by not answering the woman's question, but to get mad at him for saying sweetie is a double-standard to which the world ahas never before seen! lol

    But seriously, y'all need to get a life if you're offended by this.

  • lmaoo..Barack Obama is a macdaddy!!

  • what a fucking player!

  • i agree with you.

  • I just left the Queen of SMARTS and Solutions and BEAUTY @ the University of Miami....it was INSANE! SO MANY AWESOME college kids just waiting to have their votes counted!

    Hillary Clinton 2008

  • Obama - the only patriot left in the race.

  • Obama is a patriot? This is the same guy who today blamed America for Hammas and Iran creating Nukes cause America didnt talk to Iran

  • First of all, Hamas is a sunni militant group, who don't even have the money to run their own government, let alone build nukes. Also, they're not linked to Iran, because Iran doesn't fund Sunni groups because Iran is a shia nation, who also has experienced many sunni militia attacks recently. They have also abandoned attempts to build nuclear weapons in 2003, as declared by our own intelligence agencies in the NIE 4th Quarter of 2007.

  • well actually that's partly true. we can't isolate countries without expecting them to do scandalous stuff behind closed doors. isolation is NOT the answer we have to work WITH these countries. that was his point. don't twist it out of proportion!

  • thank you, someone had to say it.

  • Obama <- anti-American, appeaser

  • Of course he call a lower class working white woman sweetie. He the gatdam nex President, yaw best believe that! Lease he didnt call her nakky headed ho! Yaw crackers reading too much into this all. Obama aint gone have yaw picking our cotton and shining our shoes. White folk should know better. Gone out an Vote for Obama and yaw see what CHANGE really is.

  • My choice:

    Hillary >> Obama >> McCain

    I am a foreigner from East Asia. Though I can not vote, but in my country, many of the people are in favor of Hillary. As I watched many of the debates between the two candidates, and reexamined the two Democratic candidates background, I sincerely feel that Hillary is the best one for America.

    As an outsider, I would like to see America to be the first country with a women as its president.

    Also, Hillary is a very good image to represent the US.
