Obama avoids question by Detroit reporter and calls her "sweety"

[HillWill]

You have to see this from today in Michigan:
http://www.wxyz.com/mediacenter/local.aspx

click on "Obama at Chrysler Plant in Sterling Heights"

Obama avoids the question on what he's going to do for autoworkers and offends the reporter. Listen to her remarks!

YouTube - Obama: Hold on one second 'sweetie'

[Bacio83]

Holy Sh** the man has the gall. "This sweetie, never got her answer."

And If Obama is the choice for Dems say goodbye to MI Obama just proved himself the wrong choice by opening his mouth.

[HillWill]

I was surprised he's at the plant and never bothered to answer the question! That was just stupid.

[LJSNAustin]

OMG! :eek: Soooooo condescending and sexist!

[Mrsawd]

Avoiding important issues this is what he does best !

[ZforHill]

Try calling Hillary that...

[Catherine]

Send this to Fox News - O'Reilly or Greta. I'm at work so I can't.

[Wyoming Dem]

"Sweetie, Little Missy, Honey, Darlin', Cutie. broad,Chic, B-Word, C Word..."
All of them mean the same thing..."I'm THE MAN and don't bother me."

What a pig. Once again, his absolute arrogance is showing.

[BillDemo]

Is it possible to download that clip and post it on youtube?

[HillWill]

I have no idea how to do that!

[Bad Kitty]

I hate when men do that when you are discussing something. It's like they are trying to make you not equal to them by coddling you with a term of endearment. Get out of MI waffleman! You don't want there votes, then they don't want you.

[Linda C]

The lid slowly closes on his coffin. OMG this is so bad. He is clueless about the quiet desperation of working people in this country. I believe it is about ready to explode. These folks don't want hopium and he can't offer them anything else.

So he won't spend time with sweetie again and hear the concerns of the auto workers in in MI. West Virginia is not part of his general election strategy...was WV not part of the 50 state strategy or the 57 state strategy?

[candyrose9460]

Exactly. My issue has been from the day I voted for Hillary in MI that Obama CHOSE not to be on the ballot. The only state where he REMOVED his name. He didn't have to - he chose to. Nobody here seems to get it how offensive that is. They keep talking about he's fresh and new - but he played a political game here by taking his name off. If he had left his name on, we may have had the possiblity of our actual votes being counted. He killed that. I'm so sick of hearing how "wonderful" he is. Even people who I thought would understand, are ignoring this important fact. I'm frustrated here in Michigan! (as you can tell):mad:
Can someone please send this video to Fox, et al.? My computer is moving very slow today! (another point of frustration!):(

one of the news media "pundits" stated that he thought obama would suffer in michigan because of the fraud charges being sort against the mayor of detroit,we will see, hopefully michigan will drop him like he dropped
them

"IF THE WINDS OF POLITICS CHANGE COURSE, I WILL SUPPORT THE MUSLIMS" IN THE WORDS OF OBAMA

That and calling a woman lady in a demeaning way. He will never get
their votes in that plant with those sorts of demeaning behaviors.

YOu can use a screen capture program mine's at home though and I'm a work. :rolleyes:

[Sandy in PA]

He pulled the same crap here in PA.

HILLWILL - what is the newspaper or newspapers for that specific area?

[DemKR]

I'm sure he didn't have an answer to the question...but this "charm" thing is starting to get disturbing with the sweeties

[HillWill]

He pulled the same crap here in PA.

HILLWILL - what is the newspaper or newspapers for that specific area?

Detroit Free Press: www.freep.com
Detroit News: www.detnews.com

[Justmy.02]

Unbelievable! Hopefully that reporter will tell others who will tell others who will tell others...you get the drift.

And hopefully he will keep up the pissy attitude and it will bite him in the butt when he least expects it. I believe it will...

It ain't over, folks. Not by a long shot...

[PA_Voter]

Sweetie? Again... No substance!

[JMS825]

What did the reporter say in regards to being called sweetie? What was the feeling amoung the workers for having their questions ignored

[Eddie3dfx]

Hmm I can't listen to it because I don't have sound, but I will admit, I call a lot of women sweety or hun too. I think it's a cultural thing.

[JMS825]

Hmm I can't listen to it because I don't have sound, but I will admit, I call a lot of women sweety or hun too. I think it's a cultural thing.

I use sweety when I am comfortable. I say it as nice way than saying it as condensending

[HillWill]

What did the reporter say in regards to being called sweetie? What was the feeling amoung the workers for having their questions ignored

She said, "Well THIS sweetie never got her question answered!" And then they show her asking him AGAIN what he would do for autoworkers and he said nothing.

[JMS825]

She said, "Well THIS sweetie never got her question answered!" And then they show her asking him AGAIN what he would do for autoworkers and he said nothing.

Well I am sure that wont play well for him especially with him on the defense about refusing to count the votes

[SugnSpicesmom]

Son-of-a-frickin' b--ch!!! That guy is something else!!! He is a sexual harassment suit waiting to happen. You absolutely cannot say things like that anymore to people.

And you are all right - he had no answer about WHAT he was going to do to help the autoworkers. And notice how they started hustling him out? That's because he HAS no answers!

Does anyone remember the story about the lady he offered a kiss to if she would switch her "Hillary" button for an "Obama" button? Is that on record with a newspaper or anywhere? Or was it someone here who witnessed it? If I can get the info, I'll write up an opinion piece on the train wreck waiting for him and the DNC!!

[Suzan]

You should have heard me gasp! I can't believe he did that. Is he out of his MIND?

[JMS825]

can someone pull the clip and upload it to you tube this needs to get out

[RachachaSharon]

Hillary would have answered the question.

[hillarymyhero]

Well, Obama absolutely NO idea what he is talking about.....:rolleyes:
And this is typical Obama style belittling ladies when he is threatened and hides behind these stupid words of endearment which actually are demeaning....

Anyway, this is the time Americans should wake u and vote for Hillary....

[Jan26]

You should have heard me gasp! I can't believe he did that. Is he out of his MIND?

No, he's in his arrogance. It is never correct to call a woman reporter doing her job and asking a tough question "sweetie." From thefreedictionary.com:

sweetie
Noun
Informal
1. an affectionate name to call someone

[HillWill]

Hillary would have answered the question.
That's the truth. I can't see her standing IN an AUTO PLANT and not answering a question on how she can help AUTO WORKERS!! uh, duh!
I think she would have welcomed the question!

[Ijane]

but he played a political game here by taking his name off. If he had left his name on, we may have had the possiblity of our actual votes being counted.

There's no doubt that Michigan's primary race was a mess but I don't see Obama's argument for being allowed to have any more MI delegates then he'd be awarded based on the results of our January primary.

In Florida and Michigan Hillary agreed not to campaign and she honored that. Obama campaigned with his "nationwide" campaign ad that Dean said was acceptable (???!!!!) and he made the "Be a Democrat for a day" campaign in Florida.

In Michigan Obama chose to take his name off the ballot although doing so wasn't required by the DNC. Hillary said that she wouldn't. She didn't campaign but once again Obama did...which NO ONE seems to bring up. If the below radio advertisement isn't an Obama campaign ad then I don't know what one is!

MALE: THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IS CONFUSING. I WANT TO VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA BUT OBAMA'S NAME IS NOT ON THE BALLOT

FEMALE: THERE IS NO ONE ON THAT BALLOT I WANT TO BE PRESIDENT.


MALE: WELL, THESE FOLKS CAN HELP US. EXCUSE ME, CONGRESSMAN CONYERS AND COUNCILWOMAN CONYERS, WE NEED YOUR HELP.

FEMALE: HOW CAN WE VOTE FOR OBAMA ON TUESDAY?


Rep. Conyers: YOU CAN'T. YOU CANNOT EVEN WRITE IN OBAMA'S NAME. IF YOU DO YOUR VOTE WILL NOT COUNT BECAUSE OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN CHOSE NOT TO PLACE HIS NAME ON THE MICHIGAN BALLOT SO AS NOT TO VIOLATE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY RULES BUT YOU CAN VOTE UNCOMMITTED

Councilwoman Conyers: IF AT LEAST 15% OF THE PEOPLE VOTE UNCOMMITTED, THE STATE DEMOCRATIC PARTY MUST SEND THAT PERCENTAGE OF DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL CONVENTION UNCOMMITTED.

Rep. Conyers: MY WIFE AND I ARE VOTING UNCOMMITTED. WE WILL WORK WITH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO MAKE SURE THAT UNCOMMITTED DELEGATES GO TO THAT CONVENTION TRULY UNCOMMITTED SO THAT OBAMA CAN COMPETE FOR THEIR VOTE.

MALE: THANK YOU CONGRESSMAN CONYERS AND COUNCILWOMAN CONYERS. I WILL JOIN YOU AND VOTE UNCOMMITTED ON TUESDAY.

FEMALE: ME TOO - AT LEAST MY VOTE WON'T BE WASTED

Councilwoman Conyers: THIS TRUTH IN POLITICS MESSAGE WAS PAID FOR BY FRIENDS OF MONICA CONYERS

And Howard Dean considers that a public service message explaining how the Michigan primary vote works this year :rolleyes:

[Suzan]

Hmm I can't listen to it because I don't have sound, but I will admit, I call a lot of women sweety or hun too. I think it's a cultural thing.
Those are terms of endearment, Eddie. That's not what BO was doing. He was using to term to put her off, put her down ... and put her in her place.

[samkm]

More sexism.. now that it is a media person let's see if she and other women and feminists in media will take it without a fight. Come on!

Shame on Sen. Obama. He brings disgrace to the party. With this, Sen.Obama lost women's and feminists' vote permanently... if he had not done so already.

[Suzan]

We need Flineo to do a video exposing Obama's sexism! What was he thinking???

We've all heard the stories, but is there anything documented on video like this sweetie comment?

[JMS825]

I am trying to find a way to save this video to put it on youtube

[wulf12]

At least he didn't call her "Pookie"

[momoffiveforhillary]

HE is a PIG.

I had a high school Algebra teacher who would force me to sit in the front of the class on the days that I wore skirts or shorts. He would always catch me at the door of the classroom before class started and say "Well, sweetie today's a hard lesson that you'll need to pay extra attention to. I think you need to sit in the front row to day." I was sent to the office so many times for refusing to sit where he wanted and in turn I failed the class. I took the same course the next semester from another teacher and passed with a 4.0. Obama so reminds of this teacher. He treats woman (and many men) with total disregard and thinks that by using an endearing term that he can then gain control of them.

Widening the divide every day!

[SantaCruzen]

Holy Sh** the man has the gall. "This sweetie, never got her answer."

And If Obama is the choice for Dems say goodbye to MI Obama just proved himself the wrong choice by opening his mouth.

Here you go, uploaded it to Youtube, for the people that have issues playing the video on that site:

YouTube - Obama: Hold on one second 'sweetie'

Comment and rate it if you have free time.

[Linda C]

I sent the link of the clip to Taylor Marsh. Hopefully it will get picked up through the blogs and beyond.

This really needs to be on MSM. Has anyone tried Lou Dobbs. He does plenty of coverage on the working middle class.

Obama and his campaign discount entire blocks of voters saying he doesn't need them. Who is going to be left to vote for him in November the way he is going.

When he first started he wanted everyone's vote. He was the uniter. Now he doesn't need entire states. How far have we fallen

[daniperez]

just when I think I can't be insulted anymore by him, he never disappoints.

This encapsulates, yet again, BO's character.

Just another fine example of his healing, bridging, uniting, blah blah.

I'm insulted!!!!!!!!! AND so should MI.

let's forward this on.

[EH]

Dontcha just love the way he mumbles when pressed with a hard question? I bet Michelle is gonna spank him for calling another woman sweetie!

[movingtous]

My AC guy came out the other day to inspect my air conditioners. He kept calling me sweetheart this, and sweetheart that...
My skin was literally crawling, I couldn't stand it.
To top it off, he said "thanks, darling." at the end. I won't hire him again!

I wondered if anybody else was thinking that. I call or get called sweetie every day. It's not unusual at all.

I'm sorry, but this isn't a big deal. Let's stick to BIG gaffes like Rezko and Ayers! The nation needs to know!

The main point is that his tone was dismissive and he never did answer the question.

I guess 'sweety' wasn't an important enough person.

Anyway, yes bigger fish to fry but yet again, his character is shining thru!

That's really for each person to decide. You're right, this isn't a big deal if it stood on its own ground, but it adds on to his previous actions. I seem to recall, and correct me if I'm wrong, but when he was in PA, he offered a kiss in exchange for a vote to a female Hillary supporter, right?

Also, after he made the comment, you can hear laughter from his cohorts.

It is not Hope, Yes We Will get this out there online to everyone. This seems to be another thing he is "Sexist!"

SweetieGate!!!

[Lodi]

The lid slowly closes on his coffin. OMG this is so bad. He is clueless about the quiet desperation of working people in this country. I believe it is about ready to explode. These folks don't want hopium and he can't offer them anything else.

So he won't spend time with sweetie again and hear the concerns of the auto workers in in MI. West Virginia is not part of his general election strategy...was WV not part of the 50 state strategy or the 57 state strategy?


"Hopium"--brilliant!!! That's exactly what it is. Yay, Linda C.! :D

[Brooke]

The only time I call somebody "sweetie" is if I'm close with them. Calling somebody you don't know "sweetie" or "honey" from a male to a female, is degrading and it turns me off.

He never did answer the reporter's question. The woman reporting says right off the bat "The auto workers got very little time with him" And he was just simply asked how he was going to help the auto workers. What is so wrong about that question??!! Oh right, it's because he can't answer it. That's the real problem. It was strictly a photo op and to make a speech. He doesn't give two craps about these people. Hillary would have talked about how she was going to help them. But she speaks for the people, unlike him. My god, I cannot believe he's close to being our nominee, what a joke.

What a jerk!

hey - that's my daughter's nickname! Honest! If I ever hear him saying "Pookie" I'll have to gag! He is the most arrogant, self-centered, narcissistic sonofab**** EVER to have entered the Presidential race! Or the human race for that matter! SWEETIE! SWEETIE! How the hell dare he? I can't even stand to look at him - but you know what they say? The higher they go, the harder they fall! :mad::mad::mad:

Also, after he made the comment, you can hear laughter from his cohorts.

Yes, he did make those comments here in PA. This is exactly what happened:

These were campaign stops in Allentown and Scranton on April 1st. While touring a factory in Allentown, he flirted with the women there, addressing them as "Sweetie" and "Beautiful". Later that day in Scranton, he came upon Denise Mercuri, a Dunmore pharmacist and Clinton supporter, proudly wearing a Hillary campaign button. He approached her to find out what he had to do to get her vote. His offer? Getting down on his knees, and a kiss.

HillWill--thanks for posting those newspapers.

[Sunspark]

Holy crow, how rude.. [sarcasm] yah, I want HIM for CIC..[end sarcasm] :rolleyes: Fracking jerk!

I wondered if anybody else was thinking that. I call or get called sweetie every day. It's not unusual at all.

I'm sorry, but this isn't a big deal. Let's stick to BIG gaffes like Rezko and Ayers! The nation needs to know!

So do I..and generally if someone who knows me calls me this I don't mind-- but Obama was being condescending...and I certainly wouldn't want to be called "sweetie" by him, any day!

And judging by the reporter's reaction, she didn't want to, either.

[Sunspark]

I just threw up a little in my mouth. Gah. (where's a "being sick" smiley when you need one?!? ):eek:

[Justmy.02]

To me it is NEVER OK to call a professional woman 'Sweetie' unless you are her husband or love interest and even then it would not be OK to call her that in front of others. What BO did is demeaning and it was a way to make her appear 'less than' her male counterparts.

Would he have ignored a male reporter? Maybe...even, probably. But I'm fairly certain he would not have called a male reporter 'Sweetie' (but then, who knows...).

And I've never heard of Hillary offering to kiss a male BO supporter in exchange for his vote. She has far too much class.

I admit I call waitresses sweetie or honey and I have been called sweetie or honey by women. The point is she didnt like the idea nor did she like the ideaof being blown off

[Linda C]

If someone is older than me and addresses me as sweetie..although I usually get dear..I don't mind.
However, when my partner and I were in a restaurant and the young waiter, could have been my own son, called us girls..that was different. I finally told him he should stop calling us girls unless he was expecting a little boy tip:D

No when you are campaigning calling women sweetie and dear are out of line especially in this circumstance.

This is only part of the picture, the total ignoring of people who want to know what he is going to do for them. You would think since he has not campaigned there, and he is having trouble with working class voters, he would stop and chat.

You could see the anxiety and worry on their faces about the economic situation they face. But no he runs..

[Sandy in PA]

The bottom line is this; when you are a professional man (senator), and you are addressing a professional woman (reporter), "Sweetie" is not only condescending and dismissive, it is derogatory. If they worked for the same company, and he did that to her, she could file a complaint.

[Ijane]

The only time I call somebody "sweetie" is if I'm close with them.

Exactly. Obama is operating in a professional capacity. Calling someone "sweetie", "honey", "love", is not only NOT professional but it's patronizing, demeaning and very sexist as hell! It's a big problem for me that a man who wants to be President is so stupid not to understand or care that his sexist remarks sends out all sorts of embedded messages.

This man is such an ASS!!
A fricking blade of grass has more depth and common sense then this freak!

[Brooke]

"Pookie" reminds me of "13 Going on 30" LOL.

You should never call somebody "sweetie" in a PROFESSIIONAL setting. Ever.

This man doesn't want to help people and he's winning. It makes me so angry.

[Santiago]

Unbelievable!

Obama avoids the question on what he's going to do for autoworkers and offends the reporter. Listen to her remarks!

Whoa! I LOVE that reporter's spunk and courage! I used to be a reporter when I was in my 20s and I don't think I would have known what to do if I had been patronized like he patronized her. She was very smart to point out that "this sweetie" never got an answer. Can we get this woman to replace Chris Mathews, Timmuh Russert, or Keith O???

[Morgan]

Hmm I can't listen to it because I don't have sound, but I will admit, I call a lot of women sweety or hun too. I think it's a cultural thing.


The rub here is, he said it with a patronizingly superior attitude, he had no intention of answering her question.

Anyone find the Irony that he Dodge questions at a Chrysler plant?

[LikeH2O]

The condescending remark is bad enough. I suspect his trip to Michigan is to CHA if/when a revote occurs. Is he campaigning for the GE or for the primary? I think a revote is unlikely, but I would never turn my back on that guy. He is more crooked than Richard Nixon, IMO, and I don't doubt that he has an enemies list too. Oy...:mad:

sweetie is sexist? let's throw him in jail then. is obama supposed to have the answer to every question? since when is obama mr. know it all? the president should not have the power to affect people's lives and make decisions for everybody-the president's power should be limited, according to the constitution.

[no_more_bush]

He doesn't know much at all, so he's forced to dodge questions that he's not prepared for. He gave a speech at Macomb Community College here and he was just reading off all these meticulous facts about the auto companies, I hoped no one actually believed he was an "insider" from that speech. He is nothing without his staff of speech writers, strategists, managers etc..

Its hit the media!

[Brooke]

He will get away with it, which is what really makes me sick. "He's so endearing" and "that reporter should feel lucky to be called that by Obama."

I feel like punching a pillow.

"*squeals* Obama called me 'sweetie' and didn't answer my question..omg..I'm so honored!! I can't wait to tell my friends! He spoke to me! *squeal*"

How's that?;)

[AnnaB]

I guess it is hard to be politcally correct when you have the pressure of running to be president of "57 states". lol

[JMS825]

people flood the media with this video I am pushing it in Oregon especially since they said Obama leads in Oregon and amoung women at that

[B positive]

Folks, he did this last yesterday, too! He was holding a townhall and was taking questions based on gender, "now one from a man.... next from a girl" Sorry but I looked at who he was talking to and it was a full grown woman; not a girl.

I really hate when males are called men but females are called girls.... I find it condescending!


Anyhoo, he referred to one of the "girls" who asked a question as "sweetheart"

WE CANNOT LET THIS GUY BECOME OUR PRESIDENT!!!!

[ProudClintoniteMI]

I knew it was a bad idea for him to come here. Get out of my state, Obama.

It's on gretawire.foxnews.com as well! Wow, it's spreading like wildfire!

[Bacio83]

Anymore dirt we can throw at Obama while HRC is above the fray is good. We're just getting the truth out there!

[lalene]

its not so much the sweety part.. its the fact that he ignored her questions and directed his attention at a freaking car. this is the man that says, "don't get distracted"

[momoffiveforhillary]

Yep, heard Fox News speaking to this just a while ago asking McGovern what he thought about it. I don't watch MSM that often so I don't know who the anchor was.

[JMS825]

Fox Brit Hume just showed the sweety video on the show after mentioning he got in trouble for calling a lady sweety before

[FLHillRodSupporter]

Anyone hear the voicemail of the double apology? That's what the first link goes right to now.

I don't even have to see the original transaction to know that he's an idiot for doing that.

Just heard it but that may be cause cspan covered it, Fox just covered it, I have it on youtube as does another person and mine is at 200 views and the other one is over 200. There is also a site with it on there. I have also posted it all over craigslist in Oregon and KY as well as on the politics chat on yahoo

[B positive]

Yesterday at his townhall (shown on C-SPAN2) FLUFF took questions according to gender saying, "okay, let's hear from a man now.... okay, let's hear from a girl now" I saw the female he was speaking to and it was a full grown woman... not a girl!:mad:

Shortly thereafter, he referred to this "girl" as "sweetheart"

This link shows another "sweetie" attack by FLUFF.
Cue it to 50 seconds into the video if you're impatient:

THAT'S WHY I'M NOT VOTING FOR YOU, SWEETIE!!

***

[CriticalOne]

As a Michigander...

I once thought Obama was a decent guy, maybe even someone I could vote for in the general, but his constant snide remarks about my state, his constant pummeling of the American auto-industry, and his state surrogates who blocked a revote totally showed to me what kind of person that he is.

He wouldn't even consider a revote, which is a concession enough. Our votes should have been counted, but if that couldn't happen the least he could do is let us revote.

He has the gall to come to my state and stump around like some celebrity?! Obama, go home. This is why he's only gotten 2 superdelegates in all of Michigan who've committed to him. I wish our governor, Jennifer Granholm and an ardent Clinton supporter, would have told him he's not welcomed in Michigan.

[B positive]

bump

[Tea toaD]

He thinks he's got the unions all tied up for their support. I know they are all big for the Democratic Party but can't they see he is only doing this tour to be a Rock Star and is not showing leadership:( Please world, catch on to this act...NOW!

[CriticalOne]

The reason the UAW, the largest union in the nation, hasn't endorsed Obama, even as the frontrunner, is pretty obvious.

BTW, looking this silly apology:

Hi Peggy. This is Barack Obama. I'm calling to apologize on two fronts. One was you didn't get your question answered and I apologize. I thought that we had set up interviews with all the local stations. I guess we got it with your station but you weren't the reporter that got the interview. And so, I broke my word. I apologize for that and I will make up for it.

Second apology is for using the word 'sweetie.' That's a bad habit of mine. I do it sometimes with all kinds of people. I mean no disrespect and so I am duly chastened on that front. Feel free to call me back. I expect that my press team will be happy to try to make it up to you whenever we are in Detroit next.

[Carolyn]

I wondered if anybody else was thinking that. I call or get called sweetie every day. It's not unusual at all.

I'm sorry, but this isn't a big deal. Let's stick to BIG gaffes like Rezko and Ayers! The nation needs to know!

But Obama being called "boy" is?
Remember the big hoopla abut a month ago when a Repub said something to the effect that "that boy won't be ready to have his finger on the button"?

The point is that over on the NY Times blogs, we're reading things like, "Get a life, sweetie. Just move on..." -- from Obama supporters who just DON'T GET IT. It hardly matters whether THEY think it is sexist, the point is many women DO find it sexist. Obama quickly recognized his mistake, acknowledged it, and moved on. His supporters have not.

[lynfreedom]

I personally hate when someone calls me sweetie. I guess this will depend if she is under his spell and it makes her giddy. Or, if she is upset that he blew her off and did not answer her question.

[JMS825]

well so far it is 416 views in about 8 hours or so and I know some came from people in KY and OR

[Wyoming Dem]

I find it offensive. I had a male Veterinarian I was calling in California call me "missy" as in "missy" I know more about whatever" (can't remember now why I called him)
and apparently, because I live in Wyoming and I am a "girl" I must have gotten my veterinary degree by mailorder. It is not the word "sweetie" as much as the tone, which is usually dismissive, like "I am busy right now, while he pats me on my head and says "'run along now sweetie". YUCK & DOUBLE YUCK It's just so demeaning coming from someone other than your family (and I am not crazy about it even then.)

[Johnf]

Obama avoids the question on what he's going to do for autoworkers and offends the reporter. Listen to her remarks!

How condascending. Let's be creative and come up with a few suitable names for Obama. Just another way of how Obama puts women down.

This shows how big his ego is. Keep it up, BO. We know you want Hillary to win. :)

“Hold On One Second, Sweetie” -Obama to Reporter
By Proof on May 14, 2008 at 03:01 pm No Comments Yet
Obama has apologized for the demeaning way he addressed a reporter recently, then seemed to indicate that this demeaning behavior is habitual!

“Senator, how are you going to help the American autoworkers,”

Agar asked Obama.
“Hold on one second, sweetie,”

http://sayanythingblog.com/readers/entry/hold_on_one_second_sweetie_obama_to_reporter

While this was a shot at women - there needs to be a consequence.

Can we get some signs need to be made up, smile when holding them and let him see how sweet we all can be when we vote for HIllary,

[ScottVA]

of course it's habitual because he sees himself as somehow superior to women ... the same as the rest of the Democratic Elite.... why do you think they are sticking together in hopes of defeating Clinton... I think women everywhere need to band together with the help of us male friends and kick the crap out of him before this Primary season ends... The problem is the younger women don't see this as sexism because they've no clue. Hence, why do you think they're so giggly over Bambi.

[Suzan]

OMG, he has now digested his foot and is about to eliminate it, if you know what I mean. How doe he always manage to make things worse when he explains.

[Tom Terrific]

He just can't keep it inside.

You know what I saw in that video?

At the end, as the reporter was coming back to ask her question again, he glided past her without even acknowledging her existence. The contrast with Jesus was compelling. I'm not one of those extremists who are hailing him as the Anti-Christ; but he is marketing himself as a messiah, a savior from the world of human politics who will deliver us to some utopian, post-political society -- a man who will save us from ourselves.

This is truly dangerous; and few people notice, because few people today attempt to ferret out the philosophical foundations of what people say and do. If Obama isn't sufficiently competent to exploit the kind of deference and power he is being accorded, there are others around him who won't have a problem doing so. I don't know which would be worse: a competent demagogue, who will sacrifice the public and its interests for his own ends; or an incompetent one, who cannot control those around him, who are much less susceptible to scrutiny and who can thus do far more harm.

I think of Obama as a sort of Anti-Messiah, one who has no allegiance to the truth, and who will as soon abandon you as embrace you, if and when it suits his purpose.

It's funny you should mention this... after a conversation with my German grandma (who is a US Citzen now) she grew up in Germany and remembers how Hitler got so powerful.... she thinks it's the same as Obama now. He speaks things that make people want to believe in him, they elect him, he consolidates power, changes rules for his benefit and takes over the Country for his own agenda!
For an 88 yr old woman she's pretty sharp yet because I get what she's saying... Personally, it's very Chavez like doesn't anyone else think so??

If I remember right, Hitler didn't rise to power solely on the strength of his oratory. He had the assistance of the mercantile class, the movers and shakers of industry -- forces who thought they could use him for their own purposes, much like the media and the AA community have done with Obama. Little did they know ...

Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.

You know, it is quite unusual, in my personal experience, to feel a physical revulsion when I see someone on the television screen. I mean, I'm in my 50's, and I don't think I'm particularly susceptible to flights of visceral fancy. But Obama is one of those few people who have impacted my life who provoke this kind of response. I note in passing that physical revulsion is a not uncommon human response to an encounter with some great horror or depravity -- evil, on a grand scale. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this response to Obama. Contrary to the impressions left by the entertainment industry, real evil is essentially banal -- tiresome, by nature, in its essential emptiness of meaning. Its more familiar, horrific manifestations are secondary. Obama is exactly the sort of manifestation one would expect evil to take: the most gorgeous empty suit you've ever seen, feeding the starving on smiles and dreams and wishes, and empty words.

What bothers me more than the epithet of "sweetie" is the dismissiveness of his response. Can you imagine Hillary acting like this? I can't. And I don't think it's just his smug arrogance that leads him to so many "talk to the hand" encounters; it's also his lack of substance/knowledge. He's got nothing, as Jon Stewart would say.

What a disaster he'd be for the country. Possibly much worse than Dubya.

And let's not forget the Hitler Youth...brown suspenders, anyone?

Love the adage--good one! Thanks.

I'm 52, and I can relate to the visceral response thing. The older I get, the more often it happens. I've been repulsed by him from the outset. Are you familiar with the "whole body shiver" reaction? :eek: Also, when he's speechifying and stresses the sibilants--those final esses--and sorta whistles them out at the end, it's like chalk on a chalkboard and makes me crazy. Ack!

In general, the sight or sound of him feels like a sucker punch to the solar plexus.

[NotBamboozled]

Everybody OK with that?

[Tom Terrific]

In general, the sight or sound of him feels like a sucker punch to the solar plexus

Yeah. I tried to watch a short video of him that someone here had linked to, and got disgusted halfway through and shut it off. He literally makes me sick to my stomach.

[xfiles]

This is yet another example of how out of touch this man is!

He mis speaks frequently and anyone with half a brain and who is tuned into "the real world not according to Obama" would know it is totally inapproprite and offensive to call a woman sweetie.

This guy would make some huge gaffes and wind up causing WWIV at the rate he does this sort of thing!

[CriticalOne]

Check this out, The Detroit News (one of the two big daily papers in Michigan), here, did a little story on this:

http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080515/POLITICS01/805150376

Obama sorry for 'sweetie' remark

Video of candidate using word to describe local reporter a hit on YouTube, stirs debate.

The Detroit News

STERLING HEIGHTS -- Barack Obama came to Michigan to make nice with the auto industry. He left apologizing for what some online call his "sweetie problem."

For the second time in a month, the Illinois senator referred to a woman as a "sweetie." In April, it was a factory worker in Pennsylvania. Wednesday, it was Peggy Agar, a persistent WXYZ-TV reporter who asked what he'd do to "help the American auto workers" as Obama toured the Chrysler Stamping Plant in Sterling Heights.

Obama's response -- "hold on one second, sweetie" -- instantly became a cyber-sensation, with video of the exchange attracting more than 9,000 hits in a few hours on YouTube and prompting debate on the New York Times Web site and political blogs such as Wonkette.

..........

And, the video:

YouTube - Obama: Hold on one second 'sweetie'

The reporter is a trooper, and kind of brushes off the remark in her response to the Detroit News, but you know she was angry.

What blows my mind is that Obama is either so dumb or so arrogant that he thinks an apology is "oh, I have a bad habit of". Really, you have a bad habit of making sexist remarks? Are you that dumb to admit that? lol

[ClintonOrBust]

I agree, that was condescending, even though the woman herself didn't seem to be too offended. Hell, at least he called to apologize.. I think most politicians wouldn't have thought twice about it.

But, he never answered her question.. wtf? That concerns me more here; why would he dodge it if he knew the answer?

[CriticalOne]

He only called to apologize because he didn't have any other choice. Just because she wasn't really offended doesn't mean what he said wasn't offensive. You can see how big this has already gotten even with the apology.

[ZforHill]

"*squeals* Obama called me 'sweetie' and didn't answer my question..omg..I'm so honored!! I can't wait to tell my friends! He spoke to me! *squeal*"

How's that?;)

Just don't let Bill Clinton hear that, might devastate him. You ARE his biggest fan.

[seawave]

He didn't even stop for a moment to answer her. The disrespect is REVOLTING. The DNC best wake up. You anger women and all @#$$ will hit the fan. It was also a slap in the face to all middle class Americans concerned about their future. He just said loud and clear I don't care about any of you, I just want your vote.:(

[Linda C]

He only called to apologize because he didn't have any other choice. Just because she wasn't really offended doesn't mean what he said wasn't offensive. You can see how big this has already gotten even with the apology.


Oh she was very offended and made it known through her comment at the end. She was in a professional capacity and she let enough out to let me know that she was offended beyond measure.

Maybe it some communication style that some men don't get when listening to a woman who is really ticked, but yet needs to remain cool and collected. The stereotype is to expect that a woman would go off the deep end and start throwing dishes around in some rant. Rarely happens especially in the work environment

[El Cuco]

The fact is not only he demeaned her, he had no answer to the question. Hillary would had stpped and answered the question. He didn't answer because he has no answer.......he has no plan.

[shadow]

Those are terms of endearment, Eddie. That's not what BO was doing. He was using to term to put her off, put her down ... and put her in her place.

It can be a term of endearment, to someone you know, wife, girlfriend, ect. It is sexist to say to a stranger, and apalling to say to a reporter.

How long until he calls someone "little lady"?

I would have spoken right up and said "I am not your sweetie". what a pig he is. :rolleyes:

There is also another segment "Obama/Agar Sweetie" where she is practically fawning because Nobama telephones her to apologize for not answering her question and using the term Sweetie. The two reporters diffused the comment and Agar said she was not offended! Bet Nobama had some choice words for Agar after he got off the telephone. Kool-Aid infused in the air!

after I heard the news here and uploaded it on youtube I wrote the media as well as posted it on political boards as well as craigslist in OR and KY and put it up on yahoo politics chat. I noticed it took off being on Fox 4 times yesterday and CNN 2 and CSpan 1. I also seen the 57 state gaffee making its way around CNN and Fox

BTW I have had 1122 views of his sweetie video on my you tube so the word is out

[thebword]

WHAT a SEXIST thing to say.

This is just like the bitter comment, Obama let his guard down and the his REAL thoughts and views on women in power came out, unchecked. We need to get this onto MSM, someone known to be a champion of women's issues? Any suggestions on who to email this to?

I think he uses this term towards some women when he's irritated or aggitated. He sure get's that way quite easily with the presses questions:( There is no way he should get this way from logical questions from reporters.

[leahchamblee]

We have devolved in the US as far as gender relations go.
Reasons:
1) Immigration by people who do not regard women as equal to men
2) Men such as Obama who go to churches where women's equality is viewed as a religious problem.
3) Women who are hired based on looks and not merit.

Nearly everyone on Fox today was calling each other "sweetie". Interesting debates about the term, and its uses. Its okay sometimes, its not okay sometimes, maybe, sorta, etc.

I think, this "sweetie" had more to do with the way he said it (dismissively) than the word itself. I have called people honey before, (more of a southern thing I think) and haven't gotten anyone mad at me. Course I say it sweetly and with no disrespect (I personally NEVER want to be called ma'am, but that's just me).
