LOS ANGELES — Have we gone from the "Year of the Woman" to the "Year of the Sweetie"?
So it appears. It's not the "sweetie" part that gets me, and I suspect a lot of other women. It's the concern that, not to sound trite, some of the guys out there, maybe including the probable Democratic nominee for President, just don't "get it."
If you can remember that far back, this was supposed to be another one of those "Year of the Woman" elections, the first time a woman was entering the race as the frontrunner for her party's nomination, with the big question being whether women would see this as the historic occasion it was and abandon their concerns about whether Hillary should've dumped Bill over Monica and whether it was her ambition that kept them together. Hillary's problems with women, going back to the "stand by her man" comment and her lack of interest in baking chocolate chip cookies, have been discussed literally for decades. During her first Senate race, it took her months of listening, the patronizing sexism of her opponent in their one and only debate, and a particularly effective ad by a breast cancer survivor reminding women that Hillary would be there for them on the issues that matter, before women moved to support her in major numbers and handed her a substantial majority of the votes. So there was some doubt, this time, about whether women would support one of their own or, maybe more fundamentally, see Hillary Rodham Clinton that way.

“After all if you vote for B Hussein Obama you’re a chauvinist pig. And if you vote for Hillary you’re a racist.”
Well, I’ll vote for neither then!!!!
Did Balok call someone sweetie?
What’s he doing there - ordering up some tranya?
I happened to see the video of the incident and Obama made his remark in a very condescending, dismissive way!
Where is it written that one must respond to every question, just to satisfy some chick's idle curiosity?
The chick was a reporter trying to do her job by asking him a question on his policy re: helping the auto workers. It proved to be too tough for the rock star.
Only a totally radicalized femnazi douche bag would write a article like this. I know the only reason Roger Ailes uses her on Fox is because so is so totally repulsive she turns people away from the Democrats.
Sweetie good - boy bad!
Feminism is kaput its demographic sliver is smaller and smaller each year and it is in coalition with the racial/ethnic hustlers who give it no respect.
This may not have ever gotten play if he did not fail to keep his promise to talk to her later.
I certainly would not go there boldly or any other way.
Because they were told they could have it all and it wasn’t true.
Susan looks like she has a serious jag on in the first shot.

I can’t wait to see which one I’m gonna be.
That’s Ron Howard’s brother.
In the meantime, what is his answer the question? Sweetie is still waiting.
