Do you consider these comments by Obama sexist?

Question

"I understand that Senator Clinton, periodically when she's feeling down, launches attacks as a way of trying to boost her appeal," he told reporters."

Answer 1

How is that sexist?  That characterization could apply to either gender.  Desperate, maybe.  Perhaps pathetic?

Answer 2

Of course not.  The quote you entered is a typical political exchange, nothing more, nothing less.

BTW, accusing Obama and his supporters of sexism when they point out that Palin has NO experience and is a reactionary extremist will not work.  Virtually every person with an IQ > 100 can see through that.

Answer 3

I think Obama's a pig.  Oink! Oink!

Answer 4

Nope, and neither are the judges at beauty pageants.

Answer 5

I don't think it is sexist. But arrogant for sure. As he knows Clinton well to pass judgement like that. I do believe a comment like that only can be said by a person who know the other person well.

Answer 6

Of course.  As many times as Obama had played the race card why should such a stunt come as a surprise from him?

Answer 7

Yes, and he is also racist.

Answer 8

I would have to know more about the preceding comments to make an informed answer, however as it is stated by you I do not necessarily consider it a sexist comment. Men and Women alike can have periods of feeling down. From what I have seen Barack Obama is the least sexist of the two Presidential Candidates.

Answer 9

Maybe...maybe not...

"sweetie-gate", however, is a whole 'nuther matter!

Answer 10

Osama Biden Laden is referring to Senator Clinton's reproductive cycle.

Hussein Obama is not only sexist, but a racist who espouses black liberation theology.

McCain NOT Hussein.

McCain/Palin '08.

Answer 11

How is that targeting her gender?  Do you even know the definition of sexism?

Answer 12

I'm sure he did have some sexist condemnation in mind when he said it, but he says stuff like that all the time and still the media glorifies him, so what's new?

Answer 13

He thinks women are just moody and emotional.

Answer 14

I don't see anything sexist about the remark.

Add:  menopause?  Then is just a truthful remark.  Hillary should be passed than stage of her life.

Answer 15

yes; but, what do you expect from a man who was raised in the church with Rev Wright?

Answer 16

hahahahaaaaa

that is funny

Answer 17

No. I honestly believe if there wasn't so much bickering and negativity b/w  the 2 Clintons and Obama, she would have been chosen as VP

Answer 18

Wow, do not know where you could get that? Is this a joke?

Answer 19

When he said Hillary has proved that a women can be president in American He has proved a black can be president just not him

Answer 20

No, I don't.  Would you have a problem if he said it to a man?  If Sen. Clinton said it to him?
