Default Embarrassed Obama says sorry

Embarrassed Obama says sorry to reporter he told: 'Hold on one second sweetie'

Calling a woman reporter "sweetie" on the most politically correct campaign in American history was never going to be a smart move.

But embarrassed Barack Obama said last night he just couldn't help himself.

Better than saying. "Hold on one second you fat cow." or "Hold on one second you ugly pig."

Big bloody deal so what.

I don't support Obama one bit and I cringe at the thought of him in the Oval Office, but I have to agree what is the big deal? I don't see anything wrong with what he said. Him not knowing how many states are in the Union worries me more than this.

Its not the sweetie remark that will hurt as much as his buddies laughing in the background.

Liberal white women have already had a fit over it. They went on the NARAL website and while they were blasting NARAL national commitee for endorsing Obama they were adding in his sweetie comments. The site has gotten deluged with women complaining. Quite entertaning.

They are just making a fuss over it because the media is.

There are politicians in office who have said, and gestured, far worse then calling someone "sweetie". Must be a slow news day.
