Now the thing is - and I'm the last person to give her the benefit of the doubt because she's been plain vicious over the past six months - if she did drop out now, and then something tragic did happen to Obama, wouldn't she still be in the premium spot for the nomination? Logically, a stay-in strategy informed by that awful scenario doesn't make sense: whether she's in or out of the race officially, she's still got to be the second choice for Dem nominee based on her campaign successes. So wouldn't it make more sense that this is just an awful, stupid choice of words.

Kiss the v.p. nomination behind. Even if, God forbid, she thought this why on earth would she say it out loud? She and her husband used to be so politically savvy, but whatever they had before is GONE. The Kennedys are hurting right now and really didn't need this. Don't go away angry, Hillary, but please just go away.

This remark is nothing short of totally outrageous. But then too many of her comments have been outrageous. It's a sign of extreme desperation and the continual backpedaling. If her weak "excuse" is to be even kept on the table, WHY does she constantly refer to the past? Why compare her campaign to ""RFK's run" and or "What her husband did"? This is not about 16 or 40 years ago!!! That's HISTORY. This is about NOW and the FUTURE - and what a President should be able to do to brighten that future; it's not about not what happened to other presidents. Is this the kind of "experience" that we'll be force-fed for 4 years? I, for one, do not believe her excuses for one solitary second and her reason for staying in .... leaves me stone cold. I'm neutral in the race, but as an ex-patriot those comments are shocking to consider let alone actually hear. The above constitutes my personal view.

Hillary Clinton just keeps on giving us reasons why she is unfit to be president. Ted Kennedy was on my mind? Heck, she brought up the RFK assassination a few months ago as a reason for her to stay in the race. All she needed to say was that past primaries have gone on through June and that her reference was unfortunate. But, she really keeps showing us that she is not that smart off the cuff.

First, she riles up the white racists to gain their votes; then she hints at the assassination of the first serious candidate of color for President in the nation's history--a terrible thought that has been on all of our minds since Obama declared his candidacy over one year ago. Hillary Clinton has disqualified herself from ever serving in public office. As a New Yorker who voted for her for Senate in 2006, I urge Charlie Rangel and other NYS Democratic leaders-- who supported her candidacy--to insist that she resign her US Senate seat. Barring that, she should at least have the decency to apologize to all of the Obamas--especially those two young daughters--for uttering even the hint of an assassination possibility. Shame, shame, shame, Hillary. It's long past time for you and your husband to get off the stage and leave public life. You are not fit for public service.

I am a Clinton supporter overall, but ... ??? What happened here was completely unjust and uncalled for. First, threw out my day at work I heard her say RFK was assasinated in June and, everything before that she didn't understand it... O.K.. Being a supporter of Hillary Clinton I gave her the benefit OTD. But....... why would she laugh and speak on motives and stradegies in the same sentence she's laughing in and trying to distance herself from. And what exactly is a historical curiosity to her. I dont know but usually I'm looking for the inconsistencies in Baracks statements but...???? There no excuse for these whatso ever! She knew exactly where she was going with this I feel. I mean she's in politics!!! She's been in it for years good or bad and shes making statements like this!!! Ive been behind her for years, when she tried to put through the first health care bill I was there. This is a new low. I canr believe this. I dont know what to do. Obama HAS been curtious threw out this process so...??

OMG!! Now we know the sinister message sent out behind her reason for staying in the race! Recall her too-often "Anything can happen" ? Lord in Heaven, this is NOT what people want to vote for. Think, people, T-H-I-N-K: She is over 20 million in DEBT; she cannot COUNT votes; she's telling HERSELF she is popular; she is a lawyer and, along with other nominees, her SIGNATURE is on a bill that VOTED FL & MI will not vote. Suddenly she acts as though the penalty SHE HERSELF ENDORSED is some sort of sleight against her and is making her lose the nomination? Oh puh-leeze. It's selfish and egotistical. And, the way she 'pooh-poohed' the Bosnia Sniper real truth was bad enough - Bills C comments: it was late one night and she was tired. It WAS NOT LATE ONE NIGHT, Bill Clinton and you KNOW it. It was stated over and over and over again and was an outright lie. This is a veiled threat and there have been far too many LATE ONE NIGHTS and TIRED excuses for Hillary Clinton. She used the word OBLITERATE for Iran. This woman should be removed immediately - let alone be told to step down.

Has anyone seen the uproar in the comments on CNN's political ticker on this subject? This is not the substance of a leader. It's the picture-perfect shape of a bully. Clinton doesn't want this for America. She wants it for HERSELF!

For some of us who have been watching this whole Clinton-Obama competition, we have been very worried about Hilary Clinton. Now people, let us forget about who we support. Let us just look at what is going on.

Hilary's whole approach has been one of doing all she could to be president. She has lied, tried to call Obama a muslim, made him look bad, tried to humiliate him, given false information about her expericnce. She has done so much that I personally have been moving away from her with time. She agreed to not having Florida and Michigan count but when she starts losing she has changed. She has shown all the signs of someone who cheats. One does not have to be blind to see this.

What she is is what Obama has been asking us not to stand for. I am getting to lose patience with her. She just does not know when to stop!!!

We all know that Obama is in a really delicate position. Some of us worry that racists would try to attempt on his life. This however will not stop and should not stop him in his quest for the White House. In fact the more he moves on the more I feel that America is changing... Obama is having an effect even before he becomes president.

Look at Hilary's style. She has incited white racists to vote against Obama. She has succeeded. She has incited women against Obama; she has partially succeded. She has called him elitist to incite the working class against him; she has succeeded partially. She has portrayed him as anti-american because he is black and because he has a muslim name. She is constantly inciting. Now she is on a crusade on Michigan and Florida. She is calling for people to stand up and help her to cheat, making them believe the Democratic committee does not want their votes to count. .. How cunning!! Then the bomb falls......

She is now calling for the disappearance of Obama!! Hey any fool can tell from the way she made the comments. The body language is what one looks for in this statements. So she wants some racist to now do her dirty job. This is low. It does not surprise me, after watching how she has behaved so far and how desperate she is getting. Too desperate in fact.

I do not think that Hilary deserves to continue in this race. She should be sanctioned. I was in favor of her being the running mate of Obama, with a lot of reservations. But now, I am very worried. That cannot happen. She will undermine him... No way for that now. And all those supporters of Clinton who are pushing for Obama to make her VP, would you really choose someone who is basically digging your grave?

This whole show is becoming sick now and it has to stop.

Reckon she also bets on the 100-1 odds at the horse races? One word doesn't describe that statement about RFK's assassination, but I would try to blend "crass", "cold", "tactless", "shocking",and "hard", together into one word in order to describe what she said. Now we see why she continues in the face of the unrelenting numbers. Ordinary dictionaries just don't cover stuff like this.

tash479 — Sat, 24 May 2008 01:19:35 GMT

I posted this up yesterday but I decided to repost this after today’s fiasco.

I am a democrat. I am also a woman and biracial. I have voted in the last 2 elections for Gore and Kerry. I, of course, was disgusted by the results of those last 2 fiascos. I heard Barack Obama speak at the 2004 convention and I knew that he would be great as a president. I said then that I would vote for him when he ran.

Fast forward to 2007. Clinton announces her run for the presidency. I was ecstatic. I knew if any woman could win it would be her. And then Obama announces his plans to run. Uh-oh. What to do? I listened to both candidates and liked what Obama said more. But I also decided that If Obama lost, which looked very likely, considering that Clinton was more known I would still vote for her. Over the course of the past 5 months, more than a few things have happened to make me reconsider voting for her.

1) South Carolina. Up until this fiasco I was still in a favorable sort for her. And then Bill opens his mouth and inserts foot. That offended me and I REALLY don't get offended easy about things concerning race even though I’m half black. I usually try and take the road of benefit of doubt.

2) Every time I hear her open her mouth during a debate or speech she starts with the spiel about how this is such a defining moment in history because she is a woman running for president. Hmm, okay so why do you keep reminding us that you’re a woman running for office? Do you really believe we need to be reminded of this or are you trying to guilt us women into voting for you because we're women? And why haven't I once heard Obama mention this historic moment in history of a black man running for office? Could it be that he knows not to run that ball into the ground as you have done so many times with the woman angle?

re: Hillary's Foot? Meet Hillary's Mouth.

tash479 — Sat, 24 May 2008 01:21:12 GMT

I posted this up yesterday but I decided to repost this after today’s fiasco.

3) She constantly whines about having won the states Democrats need to win in Nov. But have you not noticed that she has won states that Dems ALWAYS win. How is that gonna help us win in Nov if you can’t win a state that Dems haven't won before? So if Obama can get the states that she got anyway because that's standard fare for Dem's plus also add a couple of the new states she DIDN'T win, Dems win in Nov.

4) Bosnian Sniper Fire. The more we go on the deeper in we get. So she claims she gets off a plane under intense sniper fire ducking and dodging the whole way to safety. Uh, wait a minute; somebody's got a camera on her that makes a lie of that little claim. Busted. Didn't you learn anything from Bill's Monica fiasco? So then she admits on the ABC debates that she claimed something she knew wasn't true. How noble of you to come clean.

5) Speaking of ABC debates. That was a travesty. So they set this sham of a debate up co-hosted by none other than that Clinton hack George Stephanopoulos. Didn't he cut his teeth in the Clinton camp back in the 90's as Bill's communications director? Was this really considered impartial and fair? And then they got him on audio with Faux News commentator Sean Hannity telling him what questions to ask. Yeah, impartial.

6) Agreed to Michigan and Florida exclusion. Okay, this really ticked me off and this had to be the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back with me. I find out that this "woman" has agreed back in 2007 that the delegates of Mich. and Flor. should not be counted. So why is it that now that the fates of fortune have turned from her, it is her deathbed wish that they be seated?

7) Terry McAuliffe. DNC chairman circa 2004 said when speaking to Carl Levin and I quote "You won't deny us seats at the convention," he said. "Carl, take it to the bank," I said. "They will not get a credential. The closest they'll get to Boston will be watching it on television. I will not let you break this entire nominating process for one state. The rules are the rules. If you want to call my bluff, Carl, you go ahead and do it." Source: McAuliffe, Terry. What A Party!, p. 325 Wow, Hillary, guess what? The rules are the rules. At least according to McAuliffe they are. Ya'll need to have a come to Jesus communication meeting.

8) Nuke Iran. Nuke Iran? Huh, did you really say this? Sigh.... I hear shades of Bush obstinacy in this comment.

9) Karl Rove. Why are you quoting Karl Rove and using Karl Rove pie charts to validate your candidacy? Someone who wants nothing more than to sink a Democratic run for the W.H. Sigh... I see shades of Bush stupidity in this one Hillary.

10) Gas Tax Holiday. Okay, why is it you didn't even have this thought in your head until McCain spoke it and then you latched onto it like a leech in a pool of blood. You rode this horse into the ground, lost North Carolina behind it and BARELY won Indiana, and that you can thank Rush and his fools for. Panderers are NOT welcome. Especially when it’s so obvious. And then she claims that she doesn't listen to economists when told not one would back her up on it. Sigh... I think Bush is running rampant up in this campaign.

11) Geraldine Ferraro. So why has Clinton not rejected and denounced this chick after her comments about Obama receiving special treatment because he's black, That he's very lucky to be who he is? Could it be because of the racist undertones running rampant through Clinton's camp since S. Carolina?

12) Vote On War. So I think if she had not voted the way she had voted she would be better off. But more than that if she had just admitted that she voted wrong and cleaned that up she would be better off exponentially. Bush obstinacy overtones.

13) Florida-Michigan. Anybody with half a brain would realize that Obama didn't have a fair shot in either state. He agreed not to campaign there. Some people bring up commercials he paid for there. Okay, the man didn't step foot up in there and campaign. Clinton did step up in there for a fundraiser campaign, though. Any state that Obama campaigns in he does better in so why would Clinton even suggest that she should be given preferential treatment when seating the delegates or receiving credit for votes received?

14) White working class vote. Sigh. Did we really have to go here? Okay so they've done some research on this one and for her to use this as a talking point is pathetic. And she did. She was asked how she would win the nomination and she quoted an article that had been written. So she went there. The research uncovered the fact that Obama has pulled roughly the same percentage of the "white working class vote" that Kerry pulled in 2004. And Dems haven't pulled that block since the 70's. So by that same reasoning Hill ain't gonna get em in Nov either. Welcome to shades of 2000 and 2004 cause at this rate Dems are on the downward slope. Again.

15) The fiasco with the RFK assassination. This is a troubling turn of events for me. I’m not going to say with 100% belief that she meant it as it sounded, that she believes he would be assassinated so she might as well wait it out. I just don’t know. I would hope that it was just spoken without thought to how it would sound. But then again it is being reported that this isn’t the first time she has made this same comment before. If that is the case it can be asked what kind of game is she playing that she continues to replay this comment over and over again. And if she didn’t mean for us to make the assumption that she meant it that way, one could ask what kind of judgment does she have that she seems to have a severe case of verbal diarrhea. What happens when she makes a similar comment like this to a head of state? Now I know some of you might say that this all just a case of supposition on my part, but when you already have a large portion of the black population worrying that he will be killed but some nut job out there, this IS NOT going to when Hillary the support of many black people. At the very least, the fact that Ted Kennedy is probably dying from brain cancer would beg a little thought and consideration on her part. The man is having to come to terms with his own mortality and the realization that he will soon be joining his two murdered brothers in the hereafter.

And this brings me to my final talking point. I am fatigued. I am Hillary fatigued. I am sexism fatigued. I am the Women of America fatigued. And by the way, you need to change your name to Some Women of America because you don't speak for me or millions of other women. I can't stand these feminist types that insist on sexism around every corner. Yeah, there was some sexism involved but to completely and insistently and continuously keep bringing this up is irritating and overbearing and yes, pathetic. You do nothing but make women seem like hateful creatures that hold grudges for all of eternity and when crossed will be those same hateful spiteful creatures. To say that you will campaign AGAINST Obama because he isn't Hillary sounds like a bunch of whining bull especially when McCain stands against nearly everything you believe in. You do nothing for women except make us all look bad. Get a grip and get over yourself. I started this spiel saying that I was reconsidering voting for her but the truth is if I had to choose between McCain and Clinton in the end, I'm not sure I would cut off my nose to spite my face. I'm just not that sure I'm that brave.

Hillary Caught in another lie.

Why did she say it? She is an intelligent calculated person that will do anything to win, including helping John McCain win, which would allow her to say, "I told you so. Elect me now."

The media tonight are being much too kind.

Hillary Clinton made the same statement about Robert Kennedy's assassination a few months ago, which further shows her apology was false. She did not know about Ted's tumor the last time she said it.

"The Kennedys have been much on my mind the last days because of Senator Kennedy," she added, referring to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s recent diagnosis of a brain tumor. "I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation and in particular the Kennedy family was in any way offensive. I certainly had no intention of that whatsoever."

Keith Olbermann went through the different times she referred to Bobby Kennedy. He blasted her tonight, in my opinion, very much deserved, every word. Actually, I think Keith was still to nice in his word choices. Check out his site later for the video clip.

Robert Kennedy Jr. issued the following statement this evening:

“It is clear from the context that Hillary was invoking a familiar political circumstance in order to support her decision to stay in the race through June. I have heard her make this reference before, also citing her husband’s 1992 race, both of which were hard fought through June. I understand how highly charged the atmosphere is, but I think it is a mistake for people to take offense.”

There is no way to spin it, but for some reason, the media wants to. I watched a whole lot of newspeople/pundits today, and you all seemed subdued. There was a quality of sorrow for Clinton. A sense of being appalled but not wanting to condemn. Why the hell not? This was completely condemnation-worthy.

Call it for what it was.

I hope Obama does not pick her for VP. 'Cause if he does, I ain't voting for him. I'll be too worried about his judgment.

she has turned this into one hellish campaign. She complains about the media, yet you have given her validity on crap that nobody else would have. This week alone, she's compared her fight to the Civil Rights movement (give me a break) and compared this election to Zimbabwe (with Obama presumbably as Mugabe?), and now this. She needs to go away. Otherwise the Republicans are going to take us to town. And deservedly so, if the democrats keep enabling this kind of bullshit.

OK, I am back with my own mini survey. After this nightmare erupted, I sat and made a pointed effort to call 50 intelligent, hard-working, decent law-abiding Democrats - not all are close friends and each call represents a *different* household-income (and I have a VERY small family ----> to those cynics out there, who may claim these are family siblings, kids, in-laws, etc0.

Next to each word, action and description against the Billaries, below, score ten per check which is used as a & (for and check):

RFK comment outrageous - Insert a very bold "&"

Believe RFK said to incite hysteria - &

Believe she meant "assassination" because THAT is the word she used - &

Feel she should be investigated by FBI - &

Ominously converned - &

Has sunk to all-time low - &

Egotistical - &

Liar - &

Deception - &

Reneging on her own FL & MI agreement - &

Embarrassed by statement - &

There. Believe what you will. I know I took a break to source reliable people. Not one person had a positive statement to make or even offer the benefit of the doubt. Most felt her campaign office are plugged into blogs to counter-attack!!

This woman is diabolical and will do anything (and watch that anything - it is pretty immensely lethal). The grace Obama has daily literally pushes the Billaries deeper and deeper into a cess-pool of muck, mire and mud. Sadly, the Billaries have LOST the opportunity "exit with dignity". She's lynch-mobbed herself out of that one.

To the cynics and supporters: you should be disgusted with yourselves to remain in such denial and "excuse" Billary for this latest, very serious offense. To listen to her eternally played "I was just thinking of theTed Kennedy" is an OUTRIGHT LIE. When her earlier EXACT SAME comment did not hit a large enough audience, Ted Kennedy had not even pledged endorsement!!! So stick up for denial if that's your heritage. Sleep with a clear conscience. Your realy fear is so transparent it competes with a massive, crystal clear pane of glass.

And you, Billary: get off with your buffooning and grandstanding, go see a shrink and GET INOCULATED. You are chronically INFECTED.

Her and Chelsea are like Cinderella's older, ugly sisters - forcing their fat feet into a timeless classic of a very special and specifically shaped-shoe.

What's up with the so-called offer of "experience and hope"? She plagiarizes other people's statements as her own and falls short every time. I say ENOUGH of her contrived calls-for-debate - and let's put BILLARY on the stage in a public-controlled debate. In short: Billary cheats. No-one wants a cheat on their team!

We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it. She was saying her husbands primary and Bobby Kennedy's Primarys were not over till June!!

Hillary's negatives are up! It's not just 50% of voters who don't trust her - its now 65% of voters who just don't trust her!!! Hillary is very desperate!! Trying to get the rules changed on Michagan and Florida just to suit her selfish pursuit is ridiculous!!!

These states, you'll recall, broke the Democratic Party's rules and went ahead with their primaries earlier than they were supposed to. As a result the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton- not the Republicans, or the Supreme Court or the Bush Administration - decided to disqualify those states from the process. In Michigan, Senator Obama was not even on the ballot papers, yet now Senator Clinton not only insists those votes must count towards the final vote totals, but says it would be a terrible denial of Americans' civil rights if they did not. She wants 100% of the vote and give Obama 0% of the votes!

She compared her effort to overturn the decision not only to Al Gore's controversial defeat in Florida in a disputed recount in 2000, but to the victims of tyranny throughout history - from enslaved blacks in pre-Civil War America to the cheated voters in the election in March in Zimbabwe.

This is, truly, disturbing. It matters not whether it is a man or a woman saying it. It is not only hyperbolic and cynical. It is inflammatory nonsense. But it is at least of a piece with her increasingly desperate struggle.

SUPERDELEGATES PLEASE!! IT'S TIME TO PUT HILLARY OUT OF HER MISERY AS WELL AS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. WE HAVE CLINTON FATIGUE AND WE ARE TIRED OF ALL THIS NEGATATIVITY ON HER PART. PLEASE ENDORSE OBAMA - NOT ALL AT ONCE, BUT AT LEASE 5-10 A DAY. AFTER JUNE 3RD, IT SHOULD BE DEFINATELY OVER!!! ON TO THE CONVENTION AND UNITING THE PARTY!!

This whole incident has shown how mad the entire world is. There was absolutely no reference to Obama or an insinuation to anything else and anyone who was alive when Bobby Kennedy was murdered would never think such things. The words Obama's supporters have written and the ones said by the MSM and Obama surrogates are hateful and racist. The amount of hate speech is appalling - even worse than it has been for the last 16 months. Where is Obama the man? The patriot? No future president of the United States would allow this to continue. Absolutely reprehensible. Every one of you who keep up the hating could not have even been alive then or those words would never leave your mouth. Think of Senator Kennedy and stop the hating. It's the last thing he needs.

Amazing the suddenly historically oriented and interested Hillary neglected to point out one obvious fact relative to her comment: Bill and Bobby were campaigning in June of 1992 and 1968 (respectively), because the California primaries in those years were held in June; because the entire year's primary schedule started off a lot later than it did in our current front-loaded, nightmarish cycle.

Her "historical" anecdotal observation would apply, if Bobby and Billy had been campaigning, desperately hanging onto a slim shred of reality (barely) by their fingernails on into the late,late summer contests of those years. In our cycle; California came and went several political eternities ago,and so did Hillary's legitimate use of the analogy. Surprising the political-punditry hasn't called her on this; so they must really do favor her, and are desperately trying to engineer her claim to the nomination.

re: Hillary's Foot? Meet Hillary's Mouth.

ajon1600 — Sat, 24 May 2008 07:33:54 GMT

Based on this historic revelation, I hope the Secret Service will provide extra protection for Senator Obama. We really don't know what Senator was trying to imply or what message she was trying to send. But this is not the first time she has mentioned it.

The public should demand extrra protection for Mr. Obama, and start an investigation of of Senator Clinton... Her list of hateful insinuations is just to long and provoking to ignore any longer.

The racist implications are very subtle... I wonder who she is sending those messages to?

The worst thing that could happen to America at this time is another political assassination, especially of a African American who looks on the verge of winning the nomination to represent the Democrats in the election in November for President of the United States of America.

The leadershhip of the party needs to take a close look at this and decide quickly and decisively what action to take, and make it public... They are to be held accountable too if they let this pass and something in fact does happen to Senator Obama.

Senator looks like she is very near to a nervous breakdown.. Maybe her husband should show some love and put her in a hospital for a few days / weeks / months...

re: Hillary's Foot? Meet Hillary's Mouth.

Tane — Sat, 24 May 2008 08:00:42 GMT

Problem is that as a long-time political figure, who has had secret service protection for years, she is well aware of the danger that invoking assassination can bring. It is an unspoken rule in politics that one does not use such language. It's not about Hillary thinking she should stay in the race in case this were to occur, it is that she would say something like that in the public realm knowing good and well that there are people watching her who may not be stable enough not to take this as a suggestion.

Within a week we have now seen 3 seriously disturbing references to Barack Obama being assassinated (Huckabee's horrible joke, the Georgia publication with the photo of Obama in the cross hairs of a rifle and now this). Clearly Barack's getting this close to the nomination has made some of the white establishment angry.

re: Hillary's Foot? Meet Hillary's Mouth.

Thevail — Sat, 24 May 2008 08:02:28 GMT

Why Obama supporters are having one heck of a time forgiving her..again..some more..

Firstly, this is our worst nightmare..another chance for America..another brilliant, inspiring politician, who is actually trying to run the cleanest race possible for president...another exotic figure in the bland landscape of elderly white male politicians...another choking off of that particular dream at the hands of some nut job, or government conspiracy.

Can HRC supporters see why we're really really really angry? Her comments today were like poking a stick into an already open wound.

(And before you start screaming that Obama supporters are all conspiracy theorist..we're not, OK. This doesn't have much to do with our particular candidate. This is about something that seems to happen to every inspirational politician that comes along. How much are we STILL hearing about the grassy knoll or the MLK assassination? Hell, even Reagan, who was, for the record, pretty inspiring got shot at. And all those books, diagrams, and TV specials were not created by Obama supporters as some sort of prequal to support later arguments.)

Secondly,this may seriously be one of the STUPIDEST things I have ever heard a politician say..I mean ever. And we just had George W. for president for nearly 8 years. I truly thought we'd heard it all by now, but apparently not.

a la "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran"

STUPID

If she doesn't mean it..THANK GOD, that's all well fine and good..but is she such a terrible politician that she can't control her own mouth? Who the heck wants a politician that says crap like that.

What about the "bitter" flap, what about "For the first time, I'm so proud" flap?

HRC supporters and a big chunk of middle America lost their minds, Obama was stupid and naive, and an elitist. You had positive evidence in his own words.

But if it's something she said, even something so horrible and yet aptly timed as the very last gasping chance of her campaign, it's just a slip because she's tired and stressed out?

And reality check.the president is quite often tired and stressed out.And she's the one with the 3 a.m. phone call ad. Do you want her answering that phone?? Seriously, this has got to give anyone pause for thought. HRC supporter or not. Politics is not bean bag, remember, and neither is negotiating with China, and neither is being Commander-in-Chief.

It couldn't possibly be her freudian slip showing, as many Obama supporters and political pundits suspect. There is more evidence for that idea than there ever was that Obama thought everyone who goes to church regularly is "bitter".

Everyone knows, even her supporters, that she's been holding on despite the math, raising hell just trying to stay in the news, going rapidly broke, and frankly praying for some sort of calamity in the Obama campaign. Another Wright scandal or bitter gate.

Or an assassination, perhaps? It's unforgiveable, it really is. It makes me nauseous to think that she, or anyone, could ever be that desperate, or deluded, or downright mentally ill, even temporarily.

God bless her, she's a fighter. But at this point she's Rocky with his face swollen and blood in his eyes, no longer able to clearly see where he's going or what he's punching at.

Just blindly, desperately going on, and praying for a miracle. For god's sake someone throw in the freaking towel.

I'm an Obama supporter, and I'm angry at her (not her supporters) and even I can barely stand to watch this. It's ugly, and demeaning. It is quickly tarnishing any legacy she had as a noble and inspiring female figure. And it is destroying this party.

re: Hillary's Foot? Meet Hillary's Mouth.

Tane — Sat, 24 May 2008 08:35:26 GMT

The other problem with the defense that she was just comparing it to a long primary is that RFK's campaign in '68 didn't begin until March 16th when he announced he was entering the race. The first Primary he competed in wasn't until May 10th, thus RFK was only 4 weeks into his campaign when he was assassinated, not part of a drawn-out primary. There is no comparison aside from his assassination occurring in June.

This was a grave mistake on her part and puts Barack, as well as McCain, Hillary and even Bush in jeopardy. I have worked with the mentally ill for 13 years and many who suffer from delusions are very susceptible to this kind of suggestive language. The last attempted assassination of a President was against Reagan and his assailant was schizophrenic. There is no place in politics for a seasoned politician to make these kind of dangerous and incredibly offensive comments.

re: Hillary's Foot? Meet Hillary's Mouth.

wdclifton — Sat, 24 May 2008 11:00:50 GMT

Clinton's comparison to 1968 and the tragic assassination of RFK after a tough June primary with Eugene McCarthy is nonsensical because McCarthy did not receive the nomination by default after RFK was killed. The party gave the nod to Humphrey. Clinton should have been viewed as having disqualified herself a long time ago (sniper fire!). Who can still believe she is suitable for the presidency?

The Clintons have been amateur in the art of subliminal persuasion. First,

they wanted to tell the world that Barack is surrounded by racists elements and

that was when they raised the issue that he is not vetted. Now, in her

desperation as time is running out, Hill is hanging on the hope that something

bad could happen to Barack so she could become the nominee. This was when she

slipped up with her bragging that the working hard white Americans are

consistently supporting her and were not bitter. She have been shamelessly

blatant in pandering to white working class with her whiskey shot and

subliminally soliciting the physical elimination of Barack with the RFK

assassination in June to justify her continued campaign. The DNC and Barack

delegates must come out that she won't be the nominee under any circumstances.

re: Hillary's Foot? Meet Hillary's Mouth.

wyl5326 — Sat, 24 May 2008 14:28:20 GMT

Hill should be prosecuted for subliminal solicitation of assassination. The way her campaign have been driving hatred towards Barack is just beyond the pale and shows their greed for power. In hindsight, Barack's token campaign in Kentucky and WV was probably

dictated by security concern as the Clinton camps have been fanning hatred

towards Barack. They must have decided that jeopardizing his safety in

pursuit of a closer race is not worth it considering that he could wrap up the

nomination in a few more weeks with assurance. Putting Hill's strange comment

on RFK assassination in context, I'm really inclined to believe that she have

been wishing for his demise so she can be the nominee. So, after Barack decided

to sacrifice WV and KY and thwarting any plot in place, she goes bragging that

she got the momentum with landslide win and wants the Supers to select her.

Unfortunately for a braggart like her, she slip up and revealed her innermost

wish for harm to come to Barack.

Clinton's comment probably was just a thoughtless mis-statement and nothing more, as she says. But I don't feel sorry for her. She built a whole campaign around exploiting an even more unintentional mistatement of Obama's -- his comment that some voters were "bitter" when he simply meant bitter to mean "frustrated". She could have called that like it was, also, but everything is about her, so she fanned the flames as much as she could. So the pigeons will come home to roost for her.

Panthro12373 — Sat, 24 May 2008 16:07:30 GMT

The Clintons are many things: power-hungry, corrupt, and racially insensitive (when it serves their political objectives), but they are not stupid. I can't believe that Hillary would actually offer a potential Obama assassination as a reason for staying in the race. She's too savvy to think that would fly. But she should know better. Her team, Terry Mc in particular, has been yelling "Anything Can Happen!" for weeks now. She has to be aware that Obama has received death threats since the beginning of the campaign, and she understands political history; it puzzles me that she would A) reference the Kennedy assassination at all, especially days after the Ted Kennedy news and B) disregard the parallels between RFK (a young, inspirational, change candidate) and Obama.

For weeks now, we have seen her grow increasingly desperate. But her remarkable endurance has taken her as far as she can go. She has gone from pandering to unenlightened voters with the "gas tax holiday" to comparing the FL/MI primary disputes to the abolitionist and civil rights movements to finally injecting one of the most painful moments in American history to prove a selfish point. She seemed defeated last night as she "apologized". I hope she finally sees the writing on the wall and resists the urge to take the democratic convention hostage. Hillary, for God's sake, quit while you're ahead.

I am an Obama supporter and I've tried not to let that blurr my opinion of Ms. Clinton. When she made the comment about the "sniper fire" it was difficult for me to believe that under any circumstance one could distort the events in such a way, especially when your child is involved. However, I've never run for President of the United States before so I have no idea how mentally draining it can be. Her latest blunder however is not, in my humble opinion, a misspeak. Just like the sniper comments, it was not the first time she made it. I'm not seeing the relevance of mentioning Kennedy's assasination if you were only referencing the fact that in June he was still running. I've gone over it many times and read many comments in her defense and I am still unable to excuse her for not only commenting on the assasination but not apologing to the person most people beleive the comment was directed to. I guess I understand that she wishes to downplay that aspect, which I think makes her look particularly bad. I don't see how any could now beleive that once the race is over and should Obama be the nominee, she will fully support him.

Absolutely lame to say it wasn't what she meant, taken out of context, especially when she's already attacked Obama on so many other things. You just can't say it and take it back. Life doesn't work that way. This is not the behavior of a leader.

Did Hillary Clinton' reference to assassination disclose that she wishes for harm to come to Obama? It would be wonderful if we could give her the benefit of the doubt. But, like the nomination, benefit of the doubt is not an entitlement. It has to be earned, and what else has she not been willing to do in order to gain the nomination?

This is much ado about nothing. The corporate media are always taking Hillary's comments and twisting them into something sinister. But when she talks about her healthcare plan, or her economic plan, issues that affect the lives of all Americans, you ignore it. We don't have journalism in this country anymore.

Hillary 08!

Robert Kennedy was not leading in delegates at the time he was assassinated in June of 1968. The assassination did not change the lead in delegates for the nonimation. The nomination was not decided until the convention. If Senator Clinton was going to innocently use 1968 as an example of how late a nomination was decided, why did she not refer to the convention instead of the assassination?

The reference to the assassination of Robert Kennedy was neither a reference to the date a nomination was decided, since the 1968 nomination was decided at the convention, nor reference to a reason to remain in the race, since Senator Clinton was already in second place and next in line. It appears that the mention of the assassination was for still another reason, and that is the reason that is troubling.

Funny Hilary-speak she ONLY mis-speaks about Obama negatively and lies about her experience when "she's tired". Dang. And the mis-speaks always have a result that may change HER image or stance. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You realize she's from a clan that believes outrightly in denial. Her loss will be blamed on the media, what Obama said, what the rules did. NEVER on the result that is LOSER, what she said and what she did. Yadda yadda yadda. A Rhinoceros with shaved legs is more stylish, socially graceful - with has a better fighting strategy than Billary Rockfall Clington's refusal to accept voters JUST DID NOT COME TO HER PARTY. Tough but True. Grow up Billary.

Hillary: Why I Continue To Run

This past Friday, during a meeting with a newspaper editorial board, I was asked about whether I was going to continue in the presidential race.

I made clear that I was - and that I thought the urgency to end the 2008 primary process was unprecedented. I pointed out, as I have before, that both my husband’s primary campaign, and Sen. Robert Kennedy’s, had continued into June.

Almost immediately, some took my comments entirely out of context and interpreted them to mean something completely different - and completely unthinkable.

I want to set the record straight: I was making the simple point that given our history, the length of this year’s primary contest is nothing unusual. Both the executive editor of the newspaper where I made the remarks, and Sen. Kennedy’s son, Bobby Kennedy Jr., put out statements confirming that this was the clear meaning of my remarks. Bobby stated, “I understand how highly charged the atmosphere is, but I think it is a mistake for people to take offense.”

I realize that any reference to that traumatic moment for our nation can be deeply painful - particularly for members of the Kennedy family, who have been in my heart and prayers over this past week. And I expressed regret right away for any pain I caused.

But I was deeply dismayed and disturbed that my comment would be construed in a way that flies in the face of everything I stand for - and everything I am fighting for in this election.

I think we need to stand down and watch what the superdelegates do in response to this bit of idiocy on her part. Do they swarm to Obama's side thus putting her out of her misery (no, I am not drawing a comparison to Eight Belles).

I'm not defending Hillary -- her remarks were clumsy at best, probably reflecting desperation and fatigue rather than any sinister intent, but still way out of place. But let's get the history right, at least: RFK was not the frontrunner at any point in '68, nor did Humphrey "replace" him at the top of the ticket. By the time of the CA primary in '68 Humphrey had the nomination pretty well locked up (remember, too, that primaries were fewer in number and not as significant in terms of delegate allocation as they have been in campaigns from '72 onwards). The RFK assassination was heartbreaking, all the more so perhaps because it happened while he was out campaigning for a nomination that had been all but sewn up by the candidate -- Humphrey -- who had led virtually the whole way.

Even without the rather obvious Obama implications, this comment is in terribly poor taste, especially given the newest Kennedy tragedy. It is disingenuous to suggest that this is merely clumsiness. We're not talking about confusing Obama and Osama, here. We're talking about the idea that a political assassination can determine a close primary battle. There's no "innocent" way to state such a thing. Under what circumstances could such an assertion be appropriate? Even if both candidates were white men, this would be disturbing? Given Obama's race and history of death threats it is downright shocking. How could it be clumsiness given that she has made the reference repeatedly?

Even if it is clumsiness, consider how many Americans she has offended. Would we really want such a "clumsy" president offending the rest of the world during these sensitive times? What if she made an assassination "gaffe" (the notion that one can make a gaffe about political murder is absurd) while in delicate discussions with a middle eastern leader. Their press won't be willing to give Hillary the benefit of the doubt the way the overly generous Romano did here. This person is simply unfit to lead.

I am so sick of the Obama campaign calling other people play the race card, but they are playing themselves.Calling other people old washington politics but they are doing the same tricks.

Saying Prs. Bush criticizng him, when he mentioned no name. Saying people take his own comments out of context, while they are doing the same to Sen. Clinton. Call female reporter sweeties, apologized but saying I do it to everyone,

Why Don't they tell us what are their concrete plans to "Chang" the country again and again, (so everyone knows)? But talking all thses stupid nonsense?

Do they really have a plan for change??

Tell me, I need to know, not the smokes and the sound effects, we are not looking for a magic show. I lost my confident for Sen. Obama being a real uniter and leader. It makes me not want to vote in Nov.

How does a seasoned politician, presidential candidate, former First Lady and U.S. Senator and even allow the word ASSASSINATION to emerge from her lips especially in the context of a reason to remain in a political race?

Hillary Clinton is rotten. She is no longer viable for consideration even as a Vice-Presidential candidate by the American people.

Redboy — Mon, 26 May 2008 08:28:17 GMT

Senator Clinton, it is clear that you are the 2nd place contender for president in the Democratic party. Why are you prolonging the inevitiable and dragging your party and its choice candidate for president through the protracted process? What do you expect to happen?

Hillary: "Well, assassination comes to mind. It could happen. You know it has happened before."

I HAVE NEVER SEEING SOME ONE BEEN MORE INSULTED, HUMILIATED AND CRITICIZED LIKE MS. CLINTON.

YOU REPORTERS ARE MASTERS TWISTING WORDS, AND TWISTING EVERYTHING.

DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DESTROY ANYBODY’S REPUTATION? Just remember what goes around comes around.

YOU ARE THE MOST DISRESPECTFUL, UNEDUCATED AND INSOLENT HUMAN BEEN.

YOU ARE LIKE A VULTURE ON SURVEILLANCE ATTACKING MS. CLINTON CONSTANTLY.

I LIKE TO SEE AT LEAST ONE HONEST REPORTER TO GIVE HER CREDIT.

CAN SOMEBODY BE PARTIAL ON THIS ELECTION AND STOP YOUR WORSHIP TO OBAMA?

IT IS UNFORTUNATELY WOMAN DEMOSTRATE THEIR ENVIES THEY HAVE FOR HER.

Do you really think Ms. Clinton will lose her time thinking or predicting about killing a CUCARACHA like Obama?

SHE HAS VERY HIGH MORALS AND PRINCIPLES FOR THAT.
