Barak Obama

I'm not an Obama fan, but when he had to apologize for calling a reporter "sweetie," there's something wrong. It's not defamatory. It's not an insult. It's not sexual in nature. It's a term. It's not even a term reserved for females. I call people sweetie. I call people doll. Doesn't mean a thing. In this politically correct world we live in now, our First Amendment rights are being squashed. We have to weigh our words before we say them for fear of "offending" someone. Give me a break! People need to quit being so sensitive. There is a place for sensitivity. Being gentle when someone is hurting, for example. But a term "sweetie"???? Good grief!!!
