  • I didn't find it sexist at all. I've heard people who use words like "sweetie" and "honey" condescendingly. His tone wasn't condescending or impolite at all. Obama may not be my favorite president politically, but I don't feel like there was any sexist intentions in what he said.

  • he said it like such a pimp haha

  • he said it like such a pimp haha

  • he said it like such a pimp haha

  • Ok?? I can go call someone sweetie right now I don't know and they will not have a problem with it?

  • Is there better words to use than sweety? Obama is a nice guy.

  • wats wrong with sweety ?_?

  • @Commandos12 Sweety is derogatory--unprofessional. Puts someone below you unless you are in relation with that person (friendship/family/etc). It can be a nice gesture by men but is fairly offensive for women.

  • @hsot0086 He's campaigning for president. And some schmuck reporter calls him out. I'd be annoyed too.

  • So?

  • who cares if he says sweety it woulda been funny if he said shawty or somewthing black

  • No one complains when a woman calls a man "sweetie".

  • Hold on a minute bitches

  • This "news station" looks shit

  • omg why do you news people laugh at series stuff, plus i get called sweetie at school

  • How the hell is this considered NEWS? wtf. O.o

  • should have called her a dumb bitch

  • should have called her a whore

  • its a word....not even an offensive one. what the fuck is wrong with you people?

  • This is news?

  • i am from the south and i am so bad about calling people "honey"

    i have learned the hard way that guys from up north aren't used to being called that and get offended

  • No Obama can't be sexist, he can't be racist (typical white woman), he can't be a liar (Wilson) (oops illegals are covered) Are we out of Iraq? Oops out of gitmo?oops, Out of Afghanistan? ooops Condemned Bush for constitutional rights of citizens. (orders an assassination of an American) oops....Yeah, Turk your an idiot and a fraud just like the man you continue to protect you filthy fat pig...

  • he called her sweetie because he talks down to everyone that isn't black. Take that how you will.

  • @naildorm You are a complete idiot... I was raised on old fashion values and I use the word sweetie when talking to females sometimes. It litterally means nothing. For me it is no different than saying hey my friend...People need to understand people are raised with a different vocabulary than others. Also if he is this secret racist as you imply... Why are black people in the hood pissed at him? he is a man of logic, not race... ignorant minds dont want to learn, just to judge....

  • I knew Obama was pimping

  • Thats it, hes a total badass

  • HE CALLS THEM SWEETIE HOPING HE CAN GET INTO THERE PANTS,BUT I DONT BLAME HIM,JUST LOOK AT THAT UGLY PIT BULL BITCH HE WAKES UP TO IN THE MORNING AND HAS TO PUT A PAPER BAG OVER HER HEAD AT KNIGHT JUST TO SLEEP.CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT THAT SKANK LOOKS LIKE WITH OUT THAT 10 POUNDS OF MAKE UP AND 50 GALLONS OF HAIR STREIGHTENER ,OH YEAH BUCK WHEAT FROM OUR GANG!

  • why get mad over that its no big deal he said sweetie if he said hold up bitch i would be like finally the black man in obama comes out 

  • is it really wrong for him to call her sweetie, I mean he could have said stop harassing me you motherfucker, but he was nice and said hold on a minute sweetie

  • omg Obama called a reporter a "sweetie" the world going to end........wtf

  • This is news? No wonder our media SUCKS.

  • My dad calls random people he meets 'blue'

    As in: 'Alright Blue?'

    Because that is his habit! And it is never going to change!

    Are people going to have a go at him saying that it is offensive to smurfs??

    People need to get a grip! It wasn't said sarcastically, and it wasn't meant in any certain way! People are just complaining about nothing!

  • in the work place you can not make comments like that as they are frowned upon. there are quite a few women that dont like to be adressed that way because they feel it is talking down to them.

  • People have nothing better to do than bitch about 2 words.

  • replace sweetie with the word bitch and see how they like it obama :)

  • Man shes just pissed becouse he didnt want to give her an interview I mean come on it must be anoying having mad people trying to interview you at the same time give the guy a break

  • That was to her face mind. When talking about her he referred to her as tottie.

  • If he'd been British he would have called her dear.

  • 0:52

  • @Tylershane17 YOUR A DUMBASS!, OBAMA IS LITERALLY SPENDING DOUBLE WHAT BUSH DID BUT ACCUMULATED 5.73 TRILLION DOLLARS IN 8 YEARS WHILE OBAMAS HAS ACCUMULATED AN AVERAGE OF 5 TRILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT AND HIS FIRST TERM HASNT EVEN ENDED YET!.

MOST OF THE JOBS HES CREATED R GOVERNMENT JOBS WICH MAKES U MORE DEPENDANT ON governmen

  • @Tylershane17 completely agree with you my friend. i think if American people had the patience it would improve your country even more on its financial crisis.

  • @antonymous890 thank you glad someone agrees, every time he tries to pass something that might help the country republicans vote it down.

  • @Tylershane17 but he is better then bush though

  • @Tylershane17 Five months ago maybe Id agree a little,Now not so much.

    And comparing him to bush at all is not a great accomplishment.

  • @Tylershane17------ > [[ Bush: 3 trillion dollar debt in 8 years < Obama: 14 trillion in just 3 years ]] hmmmmmmm...... Thats Weird?!

  • So what????

  • dang that bitch got snubbed

  • He has nothing to apologize for!

  • Even the way you look at a woman can piss her off.. This isn't that big of a deal the man was trying to be polite.

  • What the fuck is wrong with people these days? It's an endearing term of kindness.

  • wow WTF is wrong with this...people these days....

  • I hate Obama but there is nothing wrong with him calling her sweetie.

  • aww bless him, he was being polite, what's the hype about?? :S

  • OBAMA ROCKS YO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Two years in the senate then Pres. Something seems wrong here. Correct?

  • OH MY GOD!!! THIS IS FUCKEN BULLSHIT THIS GUY SHOULD BE RUNNING THE COUNTRY NOT CALLING PEOPLE SWEETIE!! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!! THIS MUST BE REPORTED ON!!

  • OK from now on I will call girls bitches isntead of sweaty since sweaty is fucking sexist, femenists make no fucking sense

  • @edgarreyes14 lol, you mean 'sweetie'? Not 'sweaty' lol. I guess many girls would be pissed off if you called them sweaty.

  • @edgarreyes14

    You are the one who isn't making any sense. "Bitch" is just as sexist as "sweetie".

    Yes, "SWEETIE" not "sweaty".

  • @coccinelsucrer

    It depends on the context. Sweetie is often said in a far less deragatory manner than sweetie. Not to mention, several guys are calles sweetie or honey, but few are called bitch unless they are in prison.

  • @DarkAngel0125

    Indeed, it does depend on the context and it does happen that men are called that (usually by their mother or their girlfriend), but it happens much less often than for women, and especially not in such formal situations.

  • wow big deal, this turk youngs have got nothing else to air. bullshit!!!!

  • Women are born biologically to serve and service, so they have to be brave and learn to deal with it.

  • that apology from Obama pwned the reporter and yeah I'm not a fan of Obama's politics but then again politics in general disgust me. 

  • Women want to be placed on a pedestal and then when they are, they complain. Women want equality but then when they get it they try to manipulate their way out of the responsibility. Woe to men!

  • Sweetie is a sexist term. I don't blame Obama for saying it because it is almost used on reflext. But watching that clip with him surrounded by a group of men who laughed when he said it, he sounded very superior. You don't call a proffessional woman sweetie. Or any woman for that matter. I mean if you go to a female docter and be like 'sweetie, I have this really sore throat, Can you do something about that?' it would be innappropriate. sweetie is a term to be used with close family only.

  • I do not like Obama, at all. But he did absolutely nothing wrong by calling this woman "Sweetie." Honestly, WHO CARES? Are we really that sensitive where we have to put ourselves in complete outrage because our president referred to a young woman as "Sweetie?" Now if he said "Hold on one second LADY." That sounds somewhat derogatory, but still, it doesn't necessitate all of the media attention.

  • i hate this guy so much

  • For me being called "sweetie" other than from my dad is insulting and annoying. But i don't see why everyone called him a misogynist for that. I mean i personally hate obama but i don't see how that makes him a misogynist.

  • i hope this young turks guy knows he sounds like a retard

  • We live in a world where people get offended by a man calling a woman sweetie...

    We live in a world where people get offended by a man calling a woman sweetie...

    We live in a world where people get offended by a man calling a woman sweetie...

    think about it for a moment...

  • I figured "sweety" was a term of endearment, but i guess not...

  • 'sweety' is degrading in the same kind of way as calling someone younger 'kid', but not insulting. obama was right, bad habit, but nothing to fuss over.

  • He could have used a better word, but it still shouldn't be much of a deal at all.

  • What was that woman doing outside of the kitchen?

  • @GeneralThornton thats what i wanna know

  • Okay, im a girl, and i dont find it offensive that he said "sweetie" at all. my dad, my mom, my friends, all call me "sweety" and i don't go to the news about it.

  • It is used by both women & men.

    It can apply to either gender & there are no limits on age.

    The term is used to endear someone & it is also used as a term to patronize.

    He's only human.

    If people are interested in wasting time blowing dust in their own eyes so they can see what they choose instead of being realistic, by all means, run with it.

  • @esigus so youn saying Obama can say that to a man O.o?

  • @BioJoker47

    Yes, if the right situation were to arise.

    It would likely be in a sarcastic, probably patronizing way, but yes, he could.

  • hey and i bet if a republican were to do this he would jump down their fucking throats, what a hypocritical cunt, he is the one of the reasons why I hate politics.

  • I don't see the "Sweetie" thing being /that/ bad, in fact it's hilarious.

  • This Turk guy is a sexist moron just like a lot of other muslims. I've suspected it for years because of the random comments he's made against women over the years, but the way he ended this clip completely confirms it.

  • come on 'sweetie' isn't exactly the worst thing you could call someone. lol

    heard worst from politicans

  • @TheDreps

    Um. No. He be not.

  • the reporter is wired and an dumbass

  • fuck you,

    get a live

    he called her sweety so what

  • man the guy who presents this show is a fuckin illiterate jackhole. he cant even read a sentence without stuttering. Fat stupid motha*****. seriously he is just the most annoying person ever. love how much he laughs at her saying this sweetie didnt get her question answered. not even remotely funny. you better stfu youngturks or barrack will predator drone your turk ass when your asleep. i know this cos barrack is friends with chuck norris.

  • I don't understand how is that even remotely offensive? It is implying she is a sweet lady

  • Q:How do u give a women more freedom?

    A:You make the kitchen bigger.

    Now that might be a little sexes.

  • what would have happened if she called him boy???? let the racial hate fly.

  • OBAMA BE PIMPIN

  • Yeah-it is degrading-he doesn't know her---how the fuck does he know she's sweet?

    Back in the old south-black men were called BOYS---Its a bad habit Obama had better change

  • lol getting waaay to dramatic there in the news xD

  • this is just embarrassing, this would be the equivalent of a girl calling a guy "honey"

    how the fuck is that degrading or dismissive? it isn't just this bullshit girls that want the attention they aren't getting

  • he was completely wrong. you can just say "sorry, we will do a press event later." why bring in the fact she is a woman.

  • Welcome to the lying hypocrite channel

  • Jesus fucking christ, everyone's so goddamn sensitive these days

  • I've noticed that most older people end up doing this. It isn't a rude thing to do honestly.

  • To me it's super stupid to say that's inaprotrit for him to call a women sweetie did sound like he was flirting NO and a man can't say that to a girl without the girl being like "well that was rude" haha

  • doesnt sound like he meant to be offensive

  • seriously! a man can't call a woman sweetie anymore? what the fuck...

    I just thought, well there's a guy trying to make theese interviews a little less stiff and formal, but noooo.... -.-

  • Would Obama have said that to a male? That's why it is sexist.

  • @Bridieable

    So then referring to you as "she" is also sexist, since I wouldn't refer to a man that way?

  • It's so hypocritical that a woman can call a man "honey" or "sweetie" and nobody cares, but vice versa and all hell breaks loose.

  • wow what a waste of Obama's time... Isn't there more pressing matters to attend to than apologising for calling a reporter sweetie...? Like, you know, the future of America!?

  • If Obama ever called me sweetie I would be turned the f**k on!!!

  • Obama broke every promise he has made . This fat head pedophile will never admit that Obama has lied to the American people and has deliberately turned down the wrong road for America.

  • @michael32768 is that really necessary

  • @TokyoMushii I feel it is necessary . Exposing evil is necessary.

  • @michael32768 That fat head pedophile only does that about every friggin day. what the hell show have you been watching?

  • oh for the love of god, it's probably just a reaction since he has a wife and 2 little girls..it happens
