Bridge,
Care to show me where I said he was a Muslim. The point of the post, obviously unseen through your kool aid colored glasses, is that the left criticized Huckabee for the appearance of a cross and has not said a word about Obama using an actual one.

Reading comprehension has fallen since unions and PC took over the schools.

People, please grow up. When will you learn? Why are you discussing crosses and muslims? Barack Obama is no more a muslim than you! Have you all forgotten (or are you not educated enough) to know that there are white muslims too? Are you willing to call Hillary, McCain,John Edwards or Huckabee muslims too? I bet not and you would be livid if someone made those false accusations against anyone white because you believe that it’s not possible. If you won’t vote for Barack because of his policies, that’s one thing, but to keep discussing race and religion in this tone, is sad. Educate yourself. Knowledge is power! BTW, don’t assume that I’m black :)

OBAMA-08!

I totally agree that there is nothing more demeaning to me as a woman for anyone to call me “Sweetie” or any other word of endearment when I don’t even know him/her. That is so insulting. Women have always had that problem; but from a potential president nominee—–NO, NO, NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think people could forgive a sweetie or dear if the context was right. But in this case he was deliberately being condescending because she was bothering him and it was in a professional setting.

Maybe B.O. can swing the southern ladies by calling them “sweetie”. http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/05/obama-to-report.html

So can we call B.O. sexist now? I know if I referred to a female co-worker as “sweetie” I’d land in my manager’s office at the very least, if not a sensitivity training course if I wanted to keep my job.

Sorry but a man using the term “sweetie” to a female that is over the age of 18 (really 12 would be more like it), not his daughter, surpasses in age by at least 40 years, or he is not romantically involved with is demeaning at the very least. It is a dismissal of their relevance as an equal, reduces them to the equivalence of a child.

He apologized sure, but its another indicator of his personality and personal views. When he’s McCain’s he can start calling grown women sweetie when he’s at the local restaurant grabbing he traditional Sunday brunch after church. In a professional situation you don’t refer to anyone by “pet names” or “terms of endearment” like sweetie, sweetheart, dear, honey, etc. If you don’t know their name you call them Miss or M’am.

But in typical Liberal fashion they will ignore this foible of B.O. where where it McCain they’d tear him apart and call him a “sexist old codger”. Oh wait they’ve also seem to have forgotten its not PC to discriminate based upon age…

[...] criticized regarding Mike Huckabee apparently is acceptable by the usual cast of liberals when Barack ******* Obama does it intentionally. Check out the article over at Big Dogs [...]

That is going to be interesting I agree. Its funny how “Liberals” aren’t so liberal, they tout themselves as being “progressive” and “open minded” yet viciously attack anyone who doesn’t fall in lock step with them.

I like how they are pretty much claiming any white person not voting for Obama is a racist and that the only reason they aren’t voting for him is because he’s half black. According to his supporters it has nothing to do with his lack of experience, vague (and generally empty) campaign promises, desire to tax & spend, policies that have historically proven to be ineffective & detrimental to this nation, and his demonstrated lack of judgment and integrity.

Sorry folks this is one person who won’t drink the liberal kool-aid. While I’m not thrilled with McCain to say the least, I’m definitely not stupid enough to vote for B.O. out of white guilt or the fear of being labeled a racist.
