Hillary Clinton Watch: The RFK Assassination Clarifying Remarks – But Why Did She Say It?
Sen. Hillary Clinton said Friday that she regretted comments that evoked the June 1968 assassination of Robert Kennedy as part of her explanation for why she was staying in the presidential race late into the primary season.
Here are Hillary’s clarifying remarks over the Robert F. Kennedy assassination FLAP:
“Earlier today I was discussing the Democratic primary history and in the course of that discussion mentioned the campaigns that both my husband and Senator Kennedy waged in California in June 1992 and 1968 and I was referencing those to make the point that we have had nomination primary contests that go into June. That’s a historic fact. The Kennedys have been much on my mind the last days because of Senator Kennedy and I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation, and particularly for the Kennedy family was in any way offensive. I certainly had no intention of that, whatsoever. My view is that we have to look to the past and to our leaders who have inspired us and give us a lot to live up to, and I’m honored to hold Senator Kennedy’s seat in the United States Senate from the state of New York and have the highest regard for the entire Kennedy family.â€
Flap’s Take:
1. Hillary and Bill Clinton do NOTHING that is NOT calculated and planned. this was.
2. Hillary and Bill know that she will NOT win the nomination this year but they do NOT want the upstart Obama to win the Presidency.
3. Hillary does NOT want to be Vice President nor does she want to have to turn the position down.
4. Hillary and Bill want to sink Obama while preserving both of their legacies for his speaking fees and her run for the Presidency in 2012 when Obama loses to McCain.
5. What better way to achieve all of your objectives above, but to make a gaffe the likes that would hurt Obama, and the Democrat Party that did not nominate her.
A PERFECT STORM via the Clinton Cabal.
Hillary is out and the Democrats look like fools. White working class women will hold Obama responsible for defeating the first woman President of the United States and vote McCain.
Flap and the GOP are smiling.
Now, Senator McCain, don’t screw it up and pick Mitt Romney as your Vice President.

Hillary Clinton Watch: I am Not Dropping Out Because Obama Could Be Assassinated?
Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement that “Senator Clinton’s statement before the Argus Leader editorial board was unfortunate and has no place in this campaign.”
Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., walks to her vehicle accompanied by her secret service detail upon arrival at the airport in Sioux Falls, S.D., Friday, May 23, 2008.
Holy cow! Hillary Clinton uses the Robert Kennedy assassination as a rationale to not drop out of the Presidential race against Barack Obama.
Hillary Clinton today brought up the assassination of Sen. Robert Kennedy while defending her decision to stay in the race against Barack Obama.
“My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it,” she said, dismissing calls to drop out.
This profound statement was made while Hillary was being interviewed by the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader’s editorial board while campaigning in South Dakota.
And here:
Flap has mentioned before that many California voters have told Flap they expect Obama to be assassinated because he is blackand/or a left-wing radical.
Damn, now Hillary?
The Clinton Cabal will sow the seeds of doubt anyway they can.
But……
Flap supposes these talks to have Hillary as Vice President did not go so well:
