"here are those who say that Barack Obama should wait his turn. There are those who say that he should take a gradual approach to presidential leadership"
Clinton even got more direct:
(CNN) Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is planning to tell an Ohio audience tonight that the choice in the Democratic primary this year is between someone in the speeches business and someone in the solutions business. -
CHICAGO As the Democratic presidential campaign has intensified in recent weeks, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and her supporters have said that Senator Barack Obama has not crossed the threshold to serve as commander in chief.
It goes on and on and on. These same exact accusations of it being people's "turn" and people objecting and people saying other's should wait and people accusing one person of being too ambitious. Even Bernie was accused to being "too ambitious" http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/sanders-my-ambition-makes-me-a-target/article/2581978 Trump accused Rubio of being too ambitious http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/23/politics/donald-trump-marco-rubio-south-carolina/
So please.. save the whining and crying about sexism for ACTUAL sexism instead of trying to find it.
