Little did Detroit TV reporter Peggy Apgar know that asking Barack Obama a question would catapult her name into the headlines. While touring an automobile plant in Detroit, Apgar asked the senator a question and he responded by saying "Hold on a second, sweetie..." Open mouth, insert foot. It seems Obama (or his handlers) realized they shouldn't have addressed the reporter in that manner and proceeded to leave her a voicemail apology later that evening. Click here to listen to Obama as he backpedals.
Would "sweetie" tick you off or make you warm and fuzzy?

Although I myself don’t like being called “sweetie”, I think that people are blowing this out of proportion. You can tell the difference when people are trying to be polite and when they are condescending.

He was SO condescending. He’s slick and cocky and I don’t trust him at all.

If this is the worst of him, he has my vote.

So condescending. Unbelievable.

I am not an Obama supporter or a democrat, but I think this is just plain silly. I don’t think he should of apologized at all and I don’t think he inserted his foot into his mouth. He has done that plenty of other times, but not this time.
