In my opinion, Obama does come across as very sexist. I’ve known for 25 years not to call a woman “Sweetie.”

One thing that is 100% certain — John McCain has been far more respectful of Hillary over the years than Obama has been in the primaries.
I wuz in a bar in EXTREME eastern MT a few weeks ago and got called Hon by the barmaid (~25 yr old) multiple times. It was kinda funny.
