Obama the Sexist
Let's just ask Sasha, Malia, and Michelle Obama, Ann Dunham (RIP), Maya Setoro-Ng (his sister), and a host of other women that have played pivotal roles in his life. I'm convinced that we've seriously ventured off into the land of stupid when these accusations of sexism start flying around as if they have some minimal basis of reasoning.

2. I'm not sure that having women in one's life automatically disqualifies one from being sexist.
There are plenty of other examples that he's not sexist, but I'm not sure that this is one of them.

3. People know better than this
As far as I'm concerned it's dirty politics or very limited adults pushing this meme.

5. The irony of this charge is that Obama is more of a feminist than Hillary.

8. Spelling police... It's spelled "sexiest"

9. Obama was raised by women and is surrounded by women.
Edited on Tue May-20-08 04:29 PM by sparosnare
His mother and grandmother, his sister, his wife and daughters.

He has gone OUT OF HIS WAY to be civil and respectful to Hillary in this race; he could have attacked her on many things and chose not to. Those crying sexism have personal issues they haven't come to terms with and are channeling through Hillary's campaign.

Seriously, WTF are these people going to say?

18. ??
He has the right to say what he wants, it's his grandmother and he's biracial, you know white as well as black. Are we supposed to call each other out now for complaining about our parents and grandparents?

23. "typical white woman." Sexism AND racism all in one post.
Edited on Tue May-20-08 06:26 PM by Melinda

You're a real piece of work.

Hillary's mother, Dorothy, raised an amazing person. Your mother... not so much.

22. Oh, he obviously must be a sexist, because the MSM is alleged to have made sexist attacks on HRC.
And as we all know, Obama is associated with the MSM: why he and his former pastor appear on it all the time. So, since the MSM must be sexist, Obama is guilty by association.

;-)

26. But, but he said she was likeable enough! And he called someone sweetie! And...
well gosh, he's done just so many things like that. But worst, he stole the election by not allowing Hillary to get votes out of Michigan and Florida. This proves that not only Obama is sexist, but so is Howard Dean, Donna Brazille, and the whole of the DNC!!! Those sexist pigs!!!

27. I think the argument is that...
the press has been especially vicious and Obama surrugates, while he has said little or nothing.
