Hillary Clinton cites RFK assassination explaining why she won't drop out
Today, Hillary Clinton made the following statement: "My husband didn't warp up the nomination until June. We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California, I don't understand it". It's statements like this that make everybody think Hillary Clinton should drop out of the race.
Here is Hillary's clarifying statement: "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".
Barack Obama does have secret service protection. She, and everybody int he world knows she can't get more delegates than Barack Obama, so maybe she's hoping for the worst for him so she can have her chance in the spotlight.
Here is Barack Obama's response: "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."
