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’s dead, Jim.
Hillary Clinton flashes her deadly fangs.
And there are defenders of her here! Also, reports say she’d done it more than once. It is deliberate. It is an intimidation tactic. Psyching the opponent out. These two Arkie grifters are cynical operators, and they plan their moves deliberately.
There’s quite an uproar. Afraid it curtains for Hill.

Check out this awesome video:

The same kind of terrorists who support Obama did this:

Never apologize for them.
Never appease them.
Never forget.
if democrats can’t see that hillary’s transparent,
they’re blind.
You’ve got to be kidding me? Why don’t she just hang a target on Obama?
“I’ve heard her make that argument before,” Mr. Kennedy said, speaking on his cellphone as he drove to the family compound in Hyannis Port, Mass. “It sounds like she was invoking a familiar historical circumstance in support of her argument for continuing her campaign.”
The woman clearly had in her mind at the time of these words the prospect of Senator Obama being assassinated. And therefore, the road opened to her for the nomination and finally THE PRESIDENCY.
There can be no other explanations.
There can be no other spins.
Even little kids and the retarded know what goes on in this woman's mind (along with her husband) in her insatiable lust for POWER. We Freepers have watched her for 17 years and also know.
I think this slip, while humorous, is also very serious. If I were an Obama supporter or a Super delegate, I would be absolutely apoplectic. If I were a secret service agent, I would be even more on guard to protect our democratic electoral process.
She’s dim, Jed!
It should stir an uproar. There is no one who would more have an audacity to hope for a result that Hillary had the nerve to suggest.
and Obamas safety is even more at risk if Hillary IS his VP!
Obama know he’s in real trouble when Hillary keeps referring to him as ‘Vince’.
What is Freud doing in a slip?

There are some lines you just don't cross.
It was his mother’s slip.
This was calculating and exacting. She said exactly what she wanted to say and the timing was directly related to Teddy’s illness. Extremely cynical but yet intentional.
“And there are defenders of her here! Also, reports say she’d done it more than once. It is deliberate. It is an intimidation tactic. Psyching the opponent out. These two Arkie grifters are cynical operators, and they plan their moves deliberately.”
And that is why Rush should have let Obama bury her in Texas.
That would be a good line for Jay Leno, if he didn’t observe the politically correct decor!
I have been busy today and I missed a lot of this but I caught the discussuion on Brit Hume ... so I just went to DU to see what they were doing.... talk about a meltdown
