For Ladies Only: Is this Anti-Obama Ad Sexist? Scintillating? Neither?

Here’s a 60-second spot from a Republican group called Americans
for Shared Prosperity. It features a woman who says she fell in
love with Barack Obama in 2008 but now wants out of the
relationship. Barack is great with the emails and the texts, she
notes, but kind of sucks on everything else, except for “free birth
control.”

In the Washington Post, Nia-Malika Henderson says the ad is
“very, very bad” and “and probably sexist, too.” Because you know,
nobody ever fell in love with Obama as a politician or made sexual
innuendoes about how voting for Obama was like losing your
virginity (only with less immediate disappointment), right?

Well, ladies, what do you think? Is this a very, very bad ad? A
sexist one? Both? Neither? All that and more?

All of which is another way of saying: Midterm election season
is the worst. Except for presidential election season.
