BRANDON, S.D. — Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton defended staying in the Democratic nominating contest on Friday by pointing out that her husband had not wrapped up the nomination until June 1992, adding, “We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California.”

Her remarks were met with quick criticism from the campaign of Senator Barack Obama, and within hours of making them Mrs. Clinton expressed regret, saying, “The Kennedys have been much on my mind the last days because of Senator Kennedy,” referring to the recent diagnosis of Senator Edward M. Kennedy’s brain tumor. She added, “And 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.”

Still, the comments touched on one of the most sensitive aspects of the current presidential campaign — concern for Mr. Obama’s safety. And they come as Democrats have been talking increasingly of an Obama/Clinton ticket, with friends of the Clintons saying that Bill Clinton is musing about the possibility that the vice presidency might be his wife’s best path to the presidency if she loses the nomination.

She reminds me of women on this TV show I watch called Snapped on the Oxygen Network. Many of them, at the beginning of the show, look like normal housewives and mothers, just like someone who may be your next door neighbor. But in reality they are cold blooded killers who kill their husbands for their life insurance money or another boyfriend.

Hillary may put on a charming act and come off as likable to some people, but she is really a hard hearted woman underneath who would stop at nothing to reach her ambition. This drive she has to keep going is anything but admirable. It is a sick desire for power at all costs. One can only imagine what would happen if she achieves that goal.

You’re very welcome. :)

and Obamas safety is even more at risk if Hillary IS his VP!

LOL, I wonder what the Obama/Hill ticket suporters think about that idea now.

It was his mother’s slip.

Freud's mother slipped? Is she alright? Old women are prone to broken bones when they fall.

[browniexyz]

She’s very smart in a diabolical way. She’s got everyone talking about her, and everyone imagining she could be right...

[Caipirabob]

It was "the plan" all along if she didn't get the nomination...lol! Ok, I understand the context of what she was saying, but it's just too rich of an opportunity to not help fuel the tools she's used against others for so long against her now.

"Well Merideth, if I don't win, I'm going to @#$%* kill him. In June, I'm thinking..."

[Caipirabob]

Obama sees an enemy behind every tree.

Well, now, can you really blame him after this?!? LOL!!! ; )

"What was that noise? Is it JUNE ALREADY?!?"

This is clearly a SEVERE Freudian Slip which exposed her down to her bones---for the whole world to see.

Someone once said that a Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your Mother.

But in this case she said exactly what was on her mind.

I'm loving it.

[gone bill gone]

Where is the outrage from the democrats?

[exit82]

C-bob! You’re such a card! LOL!
