"My husband (Bill Clinton) did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary, somewhere in the middle of June, right?" Clinton said in an interview with the Argus Leader newspaper editorial board.

"We all remember, Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California, I don't understand it," Clinton said.

I think too much is being inferred. In context, she was just reffering to the fact that races are not always over in may.

I have a hard time believing she didn't think about this before saying it. Surely she gave careful thought to her argument for staying in the race? Who wouldn't this offend? Obama offended many with his comments about guns, religion, and xenophobia but he knew that those inclined to be offended weren't likely to vote for him anyhow.

You're probably right, still seems in poor taste to me.

Have you noticed that everyone defending her when she screws up are the same folks that want to bash Bush for every little problem in the world?

We've already had 8 years of one babling idiot, do you really want 4 more with her??

It doesn't make much sense,  but I don't see the big deal.

Or perhaps she is predicting he might be assassinated. :noid

Wouldnt surprise me thoughif we were to find out she had a Luca Bratsi or two on the payroll.


During a campaign. Usually not a word is uttered that isnt well planned out to acheive some sort of effect

In this case she probably just blurted out what was going on in the back of her mind.

Whatever she meant, it certainly was a dumb thing to say.  My president should be able to think things like this through.

anyone watch Keith Olbermann's tirade on this issue yesterday?

Olbermann has his nose so far up Obamas' anal tract that their nose hairs are braided together  :uhoh
It would be pathetic if it wasn't so damned hilarious  :t

I agree with AKiron, wow!  It was in poor taste, shouldn't have been referenced at all, and she will pay for it.
