This speaks volumes.

  


Would you mind repeating that for me please;
I donʼt think I quite got it the first time.



 What a great slogan:



        "My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world.


        I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it."  (Barack Obama)

 

If this doesn't worry you.....forget that I even mentioned it.

"America the offended", again. When are people going to grow a set, and just take some things at face value - which is zilch, in this case? As nasty as people are capable of being to one another in today's society, to be called "sweetie" or any name along those lines should be appreciated!

FWIW, I kinda enjoy it when someone calls me "Honey" or "Sweetie." Frequently it is a friendly waitress or a person who is helping me endure some medical travails.

Of course, I'm not running for POTUS so perhaps that makes a difference.

The REAL question is whether Johnny E can sue her for (further) defamation of O's character....

Actually at my place of work, how familiar the language one person might use with another, depends on the particular work relationship they develop. I do not see a big deal over this, because the Senator did apologize, and it did seem to me to be a sincere apology. Now perhaps he is just a very good actor, I don't know. By the way I had not heard; did the reporter accept the apology?

For all you folks who see no problem with Obama calling a professional woman "sweety" let me ask you a) how do you think that would go over at YOUR workplace and b) what would be the reaction if some repbulican said something like "That boy has no business being president"?

It's not about being offended, it's about common courtesy and treating people the way you want your own family to be treated. I wouldn't want some strange man calling my wife "sweety". Would you?

Maybe you don't have a problem with it. Maybe that's why I'm oldschool.

I am all for change but not in the direction Obama wants to go.

Well, perhaps the good Senator found the reporter, ahem, Journalist to be quite fetching and he was just flirting with her.

Yikes...oldschool..somehow I never expected to see the word "McCain" and "wet dream" in the same sentence EVER!!! You have killed the mood for me. LOL

I just don't understand the level of indignation by the use of the word "sweetie" in the context it was uttered. Sounds like someone who is very anti-Obama is milking (oh Lord, I hope there's no sexual immagery in that choice of word)...someone is milking this for all they can get out of it in order todiscredit Obama. Now, who could that possibly be?

I do not support Obama, in fact I oppose him in ever way. But sexual harassment for calling someone "sweetie?" Give me a break! I am male, and my female barber called me that yesterday. I gave her $20 for a $14 haircut. She works hard, I have been blessed by God to be able to afford it, and she needs it, so I did. What in the heck is offensive? Have we gone that low, that thin-skinned, that quick to sue in America? If we have, no matter who is President, we are gone! I believe we have people who walk around, just waiting to be offended. Lord, save us!

FE - I may be underestimating McCain's ability to screw up a wet dream, but I think I'm right.
