Clinton's Comment on RFK

Some people are really outraged because of Senator Clinton's remarks from last week. She was justifying and explaining why she is staying in the race and said, "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. You know I just, I don't understand it". I think that it is fine that she is justifying staying in the race by using the example of her husband who did not win until June, but the RFK comment took it a little too far. People were really devastated back in the 60's when there were so many assassinations--MLK, RFK, JFK--and it still a touchy subject to bring up. I don't think that Clinton meant to allude to the fact that Obama may be a target of assassination though. I think that she is just trying to find any facts to back up her decision to stay in the race. But I think that it has gone on long enough; people seem to want her to drop out and they are going to continue attacking her and making huge deals about any comment that's a little offense until she does. I think that the sooner that she drops out, the better it will be for her. I think it would make her look much better if she just stepped back elegantly and without trying to fight so hard to stay in when it doesn't seem possible. If she was alluding to the possibility that Obama may be assassinated, then shame on her. That would be so horrible; I can't imagine how upsetting it must have been for all those people who were inspired by those in the 60s and who put all their hopes in them, only to have them taken from those with a gun. Obama has inspired many people and gotten many new people involved in politics. He has gotten the youth very motivated, excited, and inspired. If something ever happened, it would be devastating for many people and for the country. Obama responded to Clinton's remarks by saying, "I have learned that when you are campaigning for as many months as Senator Clinton and I have been campaigning, sometimes you get careless in terms of the statements that you make and I think that is what happened here. Senator Clinton says that she did not intend any offense by it and I will take her at her word on that". I think that he handled it very well, but probably just didn't want to attack her even more. He was probably a little bothered by the comments, but I think it was wise that he handled it the way he did. It makes him look respectable and just makes her look even more stupid for saying a remark like that. I can't wait til she just drops out. It seems like everyone knows Obama is the winner, except for her.
