Earlier, we posted a video of Obama calling a female reporter "sweetie" during a campaign swing in Michigan. He now has called her, and left a voicemail on her cell phone apologizing. You can listen to the apology here:
"Hi Peggy. This is Barack Obama. I'm calling to apologize on two fronts. One was you didn't get your question answered and I apologize. I thought that we had set up interviews with all the local stations. I guess we got it with your station but you weren't the reporter that got the interview. And so, I broke my word. I apologize for that and I will make up for it.
"Second apology is for using the word 'sweetie.' That's a bad habit of mine. I do it sometimes with all kinds of people. I mean no disrespect and so I am duly chastened on that front. Feel free to call me back. I expect that my press team will be happy to try to make it up to you whenever we are in Detroit next."

He is an ignorant, racist and now on the top of it he does not respect women!
Can you imagine if he wins? God help-it will be :I’m talking now” “Sweetie”
And you listen……………..Pretty sad he can't even hide any more :(
Ada,
I do not understand what you are talking about. Your comment makes absolutely no sense.
