(Keith Olbermann says it all – and he is absolutely right. This cannot be forgiven)
I am ashamed and a little sick to my stomach by remarks made by Senator – Presidential 2nd runner Hillary Clinton as follows:
“My husband (Bill Clinton) did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary, somewhere in the middle of June, right?” Clinton said in an interview with the Argus Leader newspaper editorial board.
“We all remember, Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California, I don’t understand it,” Clinton said.
Campaign aides said that she did not intend to hint at any potential assassination of rival Barack Obama, the Democratic front-runner who is seeking to become America’s first black president.
IF SHE DID NOT INTEND TO HINT AT A POTENTIAL ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON BARACK OBAMA, THAN WHY THE HELL DID SHE MAKE THE COMMENT? It had absolutely no relevance to her prior remarks.
Does Hillary want to be President so bad that she is staying in the race with the HOPE that Barack would be shot? My God! I had lost respect for her and Bill during this campaign, but after these latest comments I can only assert that Hillary has lost her mind. Her comments not only show her true colors, they offend the Kennedy family in their darkest hour. While Ted Kennedy walks around with a tumor in his brain that will ultimately take his life, how could she be so heartless?
This is further evidence that Barack Obama, after securing the nomination in a few weeks, should NOT chose Hillary as his VP.

I’m with you on this one Phyllis. She sure has lost her damn mind!! Hilary Clinton is self righteous! I’m fearful there will be an Obama-Clinton ticket and to be honest with you I don’t want to see that happen. It seems the press let this one die out. Even if she wasn’t referencing assassination against Obama it was insensitive to the Kennedys.
I listen to the experts but if you ask me Hilary will take this to the convention. I don’t believe she wants VP.

One more thing, I watch Keith O all the time. He tells it like it is.

HILARY BOWS OUT AND ENDORSES BARACK OBAMA
CTV News covers the Hillary Clinton speech (it’s 3 parts and will load automatically at the end of each part)

Will she become Obama’s VP? I don;t think so, but I guess time will tell.

We finally put the “Clinton for President” trainwreck to rest, and it gets rekindled with the fear that somebody will make the decision that Obama can’t win without her as VP.
It’d be like dancing with a poisonous snake, I suspect. You can be as nice as you want to it, but sooner or later, it just displays it’s true nature, and bites you on your… um…er… rear end…
I just pray that Obama finds someone else to run with, and that Hillary is finally exiled to the “who cares” of history, where she belongs…

I started this campaign with the intention to vote for Hillary Clinton. After she showed a sense of entitlement to the Presidency and lost her changes at VP, I was impressed with Biden in the slot.
I don’t mean to veer on the subject matter but I’m curious what others feel about McCain’s choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Polin (sp?) Has he secured Obama’s place in the white house with this pick?

McCain has basically “shotgunned” any chance he had at election. Palin has NO experience, and just two years ago, she was the mayor of a podunk little town, buried in the bowels of Alaska.
(Now, I personally love Alaska, and the “spirit of their citizens, but this “pick” isn’t going to reflect well on them…)
It looks like McCain just knee-jerked, and he’s going after the “stranded” PUMA vote.
Imagine, if you will, a 72 yr old man, who suddenly falls victim to say… mortality. We end up with a President who has no real leadership qualities, no realistic experience, and living in a world where tigers eat their young.
A brief stint as a reform governor in a “corrupt” state simply isn’t enough “reality school” to run the nation.
This is not good. If I was grading McCain’s, paper… Johnny boy gets a “D-” on this one…
