I couldn't tell if Obama was running against Bill or Hillary either.

Maybe if the former Democratic President would have acted like a former Democratic President instead of a candidate, there would not be any confusion.

So the next a thread comes out calling out bullshit like "Obama's statement that he didn't know if he was running against Bill or Hillary is sexist.." well that's just bullshit. Period.

Perhaps, if the President conducted himself in the manner of a party elder instead of a candidate... and a sleazy one at that... (the beauty of democracy let the people decide which family member gets to be next).... then Obama's comment would not have been necessary, but I realize that some people have short (selective) memories.

1. I have to agree. Bill's campaigning in South Carolina was over the top.

The fact is that Bill Clinton inserted himself into Hillary's campaign. There's nothing sexist about observing that fact. The Clintons are running as a team.

2. K&R!

Didn't he actually have a rather telling slip of the tongue a few weeks ago saying "When I'm president"?
