Obama to Reporter: Sorry I Called You "Sweetie"

Really? He calls people "sweetie"? And this is a "habit"?

A little flare-up out of Sen. Barack Obama's Michigan visit: A (female) reporter for ABC's Detroit affiliate, WXYZ-TV, shouted a question in Obama's direction yesterday, inquiring about Obama's plans to help American autoworkers. Obama didn't feel like answering at the time -- not unusual, since Obama likes to answer questions at structured "avails," or media availabilities, if fielding questions at all, while on the trail.

Obama's response: "Hold on one second, sweetie, we're going to do -- we'll do a press avail."

First, the easy stuff: Obama never did do that "avail," and never did answer reporter Peggy Agar's question, which (if it matters) was substantive and relevant to Obama's visit that day.

Then, the harder stuff: Obama actually called a reporter "sweetie."

is this really THAT big of an issue...with all of the problems we have facing us, Obama calling a female reporter sweetie is a huge problem? Women really need to lighten up.

Maybe he should have called her "sugar tits" instead? Wait, Mel Gibson ruined that one for us...

LOL, she needs to lighten up, what's the big deal?

I wouldn't have been pissed at him for calling me sweetie, but I would have been pissed at him for calling me sweetie and then not doing the "avail" like he said he would AND not answering my question like he said he would.

She's got Anne Coulter on speed dial no doubt.

He needs to go on TV and when asked about the incident go

"That bitch needs to chill" and then turn to the reporter and go "You taking that down toots ?"

Maybe he could do it on Tom Cruise's magick imbued coach at Oprah's.
