Is Obama's "sweetie" nickname sexist? WXYZ reporter Peggy Agar - better known to you as "sweetie" - stopped by WLS' Don Wade & Roma Morning Show today: Whether Obama's comment was sexist is secondary here. It was disrespectful inasmuch as it was directed at an inquisitive reporter looking for the answer to a substantive question. Obama has spent much time opining on the numerous "distractions" - read: Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, essentially anything about with Obama doesn't wish to discuss - from the issues facing voters. Doesn't exactly how he plans to help those Michigan autoworkers constitute a serious issue facing the voters of Michigan.
After all, the last time Michigan went for a Republican in the General Election was 1988. Current polls show the state to be a tossup between Obama and McCain. Surely Obama's plans to help out-of-work autoworkers in Michigan is substantive, is it not? Filed Under: Race for President
