Obama refers to another female as 'sweetie'

Has he learned nothing? How can he hope to win over Clinton supporters if he continues with his chauvanism? From the campaign trail in South Dakota:

"Hey sweetie, do you know you are an Obama supporter?" he told little Kayleanna Kelley as he took her off her grandmother's hands. "Yes you are. You are wearing an Obama sticker."

Outrageous! I hear he referred to her as "Baby" also. Just because a Womyn is 6 months old, wearing diapers, doesn't mean you can demean her with names like that.

Seriously, I'm so disgusted by this, it's an outrage. He should have used the good judgment of John McCain.

I think it's pretty obvious from this primary season that sexism is acceptable in this country.
Personally, I think we should rescind suffrage altogether.

Oh, yes, this was definitely because she was female, and not, I don't know, a child.

Is this even real? Or are we finally at the part of the political year where the actual overreactions cease and we're just satirizing?

Granted, I wouldn't be surprised if there were people who legitimately had an issue with this.

I'd argue that given the amount political mountains made of molehills that are completely and totally 100% serious, it's becoming awfully hard to tell. Which is actually kind of frightening.

Good point. My ass was handed to me for thinking the Obama flag pin "controversy" was a bit overboard. So yeah, I see your point.

Should he have called her what McCain called his wife?
