Obama has lost women 'with sexist campaign'

This has got to be one of the most absurd things I've read recently. Some women are, not surprisingly, pissed that Hillary Clinton is on the road the lose the US presidential nomination. They are so pissed however, that they are willing to turn to John McCain, instead of Obama, in the coming election, and charging Obama of running a sexist campaign. Chief among female Obama-haters, is Geraldine Ferraro -- a woman perhaps more insane than Clinton. Ferraro forwards the following evidence of Obama's sexist campaign:

• His response to Mrs Clinton's reminiscences about learning to shoot as a girl at her grandfather's summer cabin in Pennsylvania. Miss Ferraro said: "He walked up and down the stage with his microphone like a stand-up comic and ridiculed her as an Annie Oakley," she said, quoting his reference to the legendary female sharpshooter. "Would he have ridiculed a man by comparing him to John Wayne? Of course not."
• His apparently dismissive description of Mrs Clinton as "likeable enough" during a televised debate before the New Hampshire primaries.
• His role in an earlier debate in Philadelphia when several of the male candidates running at the time were said to have ganged up on her, prompting Mrs Clinton to complain about the "boy's club" of US politics.
• His "failure", Miss Ferraro claims, to speak out against other sexist acts such as lewd T-shirts, the men who shouted "Iron my shirt!" at Mrs Clinton and jibes about her "cackle". Mr Obama also apologised to a female reporter he called "sweetie" in an aside that received widespread coverage.

The absurdity of the accusation just floors me. Of course Obama must be sexist -- he's a black man; a muslim man; and he's friends with terrorists.
