just when I thought I couldn't love Barack Obama any more Part DUEX...

I was actually pretty pissed about "sweetiegate" yesterday (it's a pet peeve of mine, which probably has something to do with the fact that my father always used to do it to waitresses) - but once again, Obama has managed to make me feel okay about the whole thing.

"Hi Peggy. This is Barack Obama. I'm calling to apologize on two fronts. One was you didn't get your question answered and I apologize. I thought that we had set up interviews with all the local stations. I guess we got it with your station but you weren't the reporter that got the interview. And so, I broke my word. I apologize for that and I will make up for it. Second apology is for using the word 'sweetie.' That's a bad habit of mine. I do it sometimes with all kinds of people. I mean no disrespect and so I am duly chastened on that front. Feel free to call me back. I expect that my press team will be happy to try to make it up to you whenever we are in Detroit next."

Oh Barack, I can't stay mad at youuuuuuuu.
