Obama tends not to always own up to meaning exactly what he said, but I'm prepared to excuse him for this, just because of my own experience...I call my children "sweetie" and more than once while busy or distracted, I've inadvertently addressed coworkers and others (who aren't even that sweet, frankly) as "sweetie". In this case, I think it really is just a bad habit on his part...probably calls his wife and daughters "sweetie" and was just absent-minded for a minute.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14956997477396182396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15671495.post-33247214959177179732008-05-15T00:45:00.000-04:002008-05-15T00:45:00.000-04:00We've all heard THAT one before, John.

This was a voice mail he left her, and he asked her to contact his team and he would make up for his mistakes.<BR/><BR/>Doesn't excuse it, but at least he admitted to his mistakes and is willing to work to fix it.John J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15113315088960432426noreply@blogger.com
