What would Michelle Obama do if she were called sweetie? WWMD? TRIBUNE-REVIEW By Salena Zito

A tip of the hat to Ben Smith over at Politico for reporting that Sen. Barack Obama referred to a female reporter in Detroit as "sweetie" when answering her question. Actually, when not answering her question.

Kind of makes you wonder how wife Michelle would feel if she were referred to as "sweetie"?

Oh, SNAP! No you diuhn!

"Sweetie." The very last word I'd have thought of to describe MO.

[Always Right]

“I got your ‘sweetie’ right here”

There is only one way to find out and it might turn out to be entertaining.

I wonder if Barack would talk to Michelle the way LeBron Jmes talked to his mother at the Celtic’s game Monday?

If this had been done by a conservative there would be a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by now. Obama does it and it's cute and relational. He toots and his followers call it a symphony.

I find his comments very divisive. I’m offended. He keeps moving the bar. The more I think about it, the more frustrated, angry and isolated I become. I’m afraid my soul is broken now.

And his toots smell like Chanel No. 5.

jenneyjenney, You just have to let go of your guns and your Bible and learn to accept change without being so...bitter!

[waverna]

She shouldn’t hold her breath.

[Stentor]

The very last word I'd have thought of to describe MO.

Someday they're probably going to have to treat Michele like Martha Mitchell.

I imagine he calls her ‘sweetie’ all the time and MEANS it. That’s probably how it so easily slipped out in his words.

In spite of our dislike for them, they do seem to be a close couple. He hugs and kisses here in many pictures I’ve seen. Has his arm around her..

We may hate their politics and their true ‘religion’ but I think they have a good marriage.

[Enchante]

Am I the only one who remembers the long stage of feminism in which any male who ever used a “honey” or “sweetie” was reviled and discredited? .....apparently Obama is so lovable and useful to the left that he can get away with anything.

[jennyjenny]

The reporter in the piece was clearly unamused.

[aposiopetic]

And, to their credit, they refuse to parade their kids in front of the cameras to get votes.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Ok...I'll admit...I don't know (but am curious) what did LeBron say to his mama on Monday? (I'm almost afraid to find out...)

[massgopguy]

He and Paul Pierce got tangled up running through the key and into the seats behind the backboard. Mama LeBron got up and in Paul Pierce’s face. LeBron told her to “Sit Down!”

Someday they're probably going to have to treat Michele like Martha Mitchell.

If Hussein Obama was smart, he would shackle her to a wall in a deep, dark, remote dungeon until after the election was over. She does not know how to effectively use a mask to cover up how she really is.
