Okay, he doesn’t exactly use those words, but you’ll see what I mean. Tell ‘em Breitbart:

Barack Obama refused Saturday to go along with other Democrats who are calling for Hillary Rodham Clinton to step away from the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

“My attitude is Senator Clinton can run as long as she wants,” Obama said.

And believe me: he wants Hillary to stay in this race for as long as possible. Barack knows that the Clinton campaign is doing everything in its power to smear him, and if all of his dirty laundry gets aired out now–a lá Reverend Wright–the chances of McCain pulling a swiftboat on him come November (or October, or whenever) are slim.

Oh, by the way, the article has one more paragraph worth noting:

“I didn’t really get how much sexism there still was in our country until I was at a rally with my mom in New Hampshire, and someone came up to me and said, ‘I just can’t see a woman being commander in chief,’” [Chelsea Clinton] said.

Yeah that’s right Chelsea: one crazy guy in New Hampshire is conclusive evidence that sexism runs rampant in America. We must elect a women President now!
