Sweetie-gate?
It seems to be much ado about nothing, but there’s still a lot of yammering out there about Barack Obama calling a female reporter “sweetie” this week.(Check out the full story and ABC video here.)
Obama apologized and the reporter didn’t seem to mind too much. She just wanted her question answered.
So is it offensive? I think it’s all about the tone and tenor of the conversation. The tone wasn’t terribly condescending, but he should have been more respectful to the reporter doing her job.
What do you think? Is it a big deal?

Oh, sorry Sweetie, did I miss something important?
The reason Obama called the reporter "sweetie" is that he's the father of two young girls and probably says the word "sweetie" million times a day.
It's about as meaningful and/or sexist as the diner waitress who called me "Hon."Posted by on 05/16 at 01:27 PM
