They did this after the issue of McCain's Panamanian birth and status as a natural born citizen was raised in a New York Times article. This was S. Res. 511 of 2008. It was passed by unanimous consent of the Senate.

You know what I find very interesting? Part of Clinton and Palin's problem is that they were running against a black man, and I think that is a big part of the reason the misogyny was especially amplified. Sexist white men would rather have a black man than a white woman be president any day. Women of color overwhelmingly will support a black man over a white woman. And men of color of course support a black male candidate over a white woman. These people very committed to identity politics and many men are committed to misogyny. It was just too much on all sides. To make matters worse, white women are the only group that can be acceptably hated without consequence, so they miserably lost the propaganda and media war, too. White men, black men, black women, and everyone in between gleefully piled on. No candidate could have tolerated that level of discrimination.

Women, for the most part, are on to that fraud now and it won't work. As for evidence of misogyny in Obama's campaign? It is plentiful. His condescension goes way beyond calling a journalist "sweetie". During the first MSNBC debate, it was clear Russert and Mathews were focusing on Hillary asking Biden, for example, if he believed she was polarizing as he had been quoted. His supporters booed her and made it nearly impossible for her to speak at the Jefferson Day Dinner in NC. The vile and vulgar way her supporters were treated on the web came from the top down. It may be convenient for you to ignore "Iron my shirt" or "A woman's place is in the kitchen" but as the new black racist are fond of saying, "They are code words". Not one person in his campaign spoke against these attacks. Sorry, Jon. The fact it is being discussed so widely offers all the proof any open minded person would need. Her campaign was historic. More Democrats voted for her than Obama and she was the first woman to get so close to the nomination. That has been ignored. Her education and experience was ignored. When Axelrod brought up the past and her husband's infidelity, it was sexist. When Geraldine Ferraro's husband was attacked when she was a candidate, that was sexist. When Palin's family was attacked with lies, that was sexist. You are sexist because you can't see anything wrong with the way these two women were treated. using a woman’s right to chose as a gun at her back to promote the election of an unqualified candidate is sexist.

He sure did a bang up job. Ronald Reagan went to Eureka College. Herbert Hover went to Stanford (not Ivy but pretty good) and he led the country into a depression. Abe Lincoln was self taught. There were questions when Obama won the election as Editor of the Law Review about the reasons for his selection and whether or not it was based on race. He wasn't offered a position as clerk for a judge, he has never offered any published writing on law as most Editors do and he has never offered any proof of his standing in the graduating class.

I am proud I think like a woman. My problem solving skills are as impressive as any man I ever worked with and I had more creativity than they. Your comments are out of place on a post intended to point out the inequality of treatment of the two women involved in this election. And you think Palin found the line better than Hillary? Palin was subjected to a little over three months of pressure and insults, where Hillary has managed to plow through fifteen years of lies, attacks and insults. The fact you have no pride in a woman who has held her head up and fought for Civil Rights and Women's Rights most of her life, provides more insight into your feelings of sexism than any failure of Hillary's. Go on over to Huffpo and join other women who think the only way they can make it is by getting over it and falling in line with the other gender. Women like you are responsible for the failure of the promise of feminism. How many times have you protested comments by the media or on blogs that have demeaned Hillary or Sarah Palin? Or maybe you laugh at the sexist jokes told by the men who say you "think like a man"?

Or maybe you can explain why Bill Clinton had a seventy percent approval rating during the Impeachment hearings and sixty five percent when he left office? Clinton hate? Give me a break. The majority of voters in this country were bambozzeled again. This time voting for an inexperienced novice because he was black and ran a corrupt campaign along with the help of the DNC. Hillary won the popular vote and I am one of the eighteen million plus who voted for her. I have heard Republican say they would have voted for her because she was the most qualified. Don't project your own bias onto others. If you think misogyny did not play a role in this election, you are obtuse.
