Media Absolves Obama For Calling A Reporter “Sweetie”

Why not?  They absolved him for having a spiritual leader and personal mentor who damns America and thinks AIDS was a plot by the government to wipe out blocks.

Anyone else thinking things would be a bit different if John McCain had called someone “sweetie?”

It’s condescending at the very least. Typically demeaning to use on folk outside your circle of acquaintance as well.



A troll is someone who only wants to stir up trouble, not have an honest debate.  Some signs that a poster is a troll:
* Dodges questions from other posters * Refuses to give sources
* When one of its arguments is shown to be false, either ignores the proof or moves the goalposts.  Heh. (From the LGF faq)

The journalists covering his campaign may have bought him fewer doughnuts.

Yes it would be very different. You have a relatively young man (B. Obama) and an old geezard (J. McCain).
Y’all know what they say about dirty old men don’t you?

Wonder how he would have handled it if she replied “sure thing, boy.”

If she was older than him, it would be acceptible.
Otherwise it would be ...... You fill the blank.
Now go and wash your mouth.

Rob,
This is so petty.

Actually it isn’t.  Every time an unscripted Obama opens his mouth, he reveals who and what he really is.

A condescending “Sweetie” to an adult female reporter.

A condescending “They cling to their guns and their Bibles.”

An absurd “57 states”.

and on and on…

The stakes are high. Whether the issue is the economy, or energy, or the federal courts or national security, the right answers are coming not from the Democrats, but from the Republicans. The surge of operations that began a year ago is succeeding. The only way to lose this fight is to quit. Richard M. Cheney, Vice President, 30 May, 2008

Only for people obsessed with trivia. That’s why this blog has more stories on his bowling scores than his health care proposals.
