Hillary Clinton on Tuesday responded to former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's accusation that President Barack Obama fired the first shot in the "war on women."

Palin tweeted an excerpt from Clinton's new memoir "Hard Choices" on Monday, in which Clinton recounted how then-Sen. Obama's 2008 campaign asked her to issue a statement criticizing Palin after she was chosen as Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) running mate.



"Look who fired the 1st shot in the real 'war on women,'" Palin wrote. "Hint: it wasn't the GOP."

"That's not exactly what I said," Clinton told ABC News' Robin Roberts. "What I said was that in beginning the process of working with Senator Obama after I ended my campaign, we had as I describe in the book, 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."

[question everything]

1. There certainly was sexism in the Obama campaign

I think that it was after the win in November, that a member of Obama speech writing team was photographed with a cut out of Clinton, "cupping" her breast. As far as I know, this young, hormonal man kept his job.
