Obama: 16,647,926
No small wonder why so many women in a America are mad as hell and are threatening to boycott Obama. Ouch…

It is “generally frowned upon: Calling reporters “sweetie.”” But, Barack Obama says he has a bad habit of “using the word ’sweetie.’” And he says “I do it sometimes with all kinds of people.” Yeh… Right… No doubt those “all kinds of people” are all women, because men generally don’t call me “sweetie.”
