What she should have said

Bridget Johnson has an article on "Sweetiegate", where Obama responded to a reporter Peggy Agar's question about policy with "Hold on one second, sweetie. We’ll do a press avail, thanks". Now, to be fair, he apologize...for calling her "sweetie"; but he didn't apologize for what Agar herself was upset about, not answering a legitimate question.

She should have responded with "Boy, you are running for the Presidency, a position where you will be a servant to both me and my readers. How dare you arrogantly dismiss my concerns out of hand"

What it would have accomplished was both reminding Obama and the public that the Presidency serves at our discretion and it would have made the left go into a hissy fit over the term "boy".
