Don't You Dare Get 'Sweetie' on Me

Yo! Barack!

We don't mind you calling someone "Sweetie" in appreciation of something said by that person that is indeed "sweet". Everybody "gets" the idea of "Sweetie" as an expression to amplify someone else's kindness and empathy.

But don't you dare be adopting sexist or elitist put-down tactics in your Q&A. We supported you for "hope" and "change", not to have you lapse into grave error like Republicans. Not only that, we have too much riding on you that is BIGGER than you. Go see your wife, Michelle, and be contrite while she gives you that little talk about no smart-aleckness, no put-downs----none---never again.
