Obama Sticks His Foot In His Mouth Yet Again

May 15, 2008

He is at it yet again.  At a press conference yesterday, Obama said the following:

Agar asks Obama what he’s “going to do to help American autoworkers.”

He replies, “Hold on one second, sweetie, we’ll do a press avail, thanks” but didn’t get back to Agar.

On the air later, the station played a voice message Obama left for Agar. Obama apologizes for not getting back to her. He also tells Agar he has a bad habit of calling people “sweetie.”

In this day and age, why in the world would “sweetie” come out of your mouth to a woman that you do not know?
