I don't see the sexist bent on this. Is it the same as Hillary/Bill/others specualting that Obama could be HER VP? If so, she was being 'sexist' to him.

So far, no proof of Obama's sexism towards Hillary.
Believe me, I KNOW what you are saying, but "these people" feel threatened in the slightest and although you or me may not see it, a euphemistically benign term as "sweetie" to a woman trying to do her job is a "sexist" term to belittle women used by males insecure in their manhood... Yes, it's a stretch--I didn't say it wasn't... But I am telling you from these kind of people, they cling on to everything said...

Now switch it around--if Hillary called a Black woman reporter, "girl" like "gwirrrlll" or a Black male reporter, "boy", some kneegrows would lose they dayum minds.

It's the same thing as saying "nappy headed hoes"... Now, to me, I'd probably think it is a dumb thing to say by a man like Imus and wonder how does Imus know anything about "nappy headed" or "hoes"... Nevertheless, he meant to demean women, especially Black women, intentionally.

Whereas, Obama has to get the sexist label... Because like I said, read the "Isis Papers" and it will explain it fully. PM me if you want to know more, because I am unable to say it here...
