Hillary Clinton on Tuesday reflected on the 2008 presidential campaign and dinged team Obama for its allegedly sexist schemes. In an appearance on Good Morning America, Clinton said that after ending her presidential campaign, she and Obama "had an awkward but necessary meeting to clear the air on a couple of issues, and one of them was the sexism that, unfortunately, was present in that '08 campaign."
In her new memoir, Clinton wrote: "That very first day, the Obama campaign said, 'Well, we want you to go out there and criticize [Sarah Palin],' and I said 'For what? For being a woman?'"
