I agree that Hillary was not referring to Obama being assassinated, rather the fact that Robert Kennedy was still campaigning in June, so she should continue to campaign. That said, I also think the reference was in poor taste because it implied on some subtle level that she is as qualified a candidate as RFK was. Sorry Hillary, but you are not.

I don’t trust Hillary, and I don’t want her to be president, but I do acknowledge that she is a very smart, educated women, and why she resorts to these kinds of statments is a mystery.

The reference to 1992 was an error by the author. Clinton’s remark are factionally incorret and has no relationship to her campaign. Bill Clinton was leading in 1992, and in 1968 the campaign was shorter. There are more errors made by Clinton.

This is what happens when you deal with someone who assumed she had the nomination locked down just by giving her intentions to run. She is not accepting defeat well

I think that Hillary doesn’t know any historical facts because RFK was assassinated in 1968, not in 1992 as Martin Brundle said before

RFK was assassinated June 1968, not 1992. Anyone reading “Obama might get assassinated” into her comment has serious listening problems. What she clearly meant was that even revered Bobby Kennedy did not and would not have wrapped up his candidacy this early, he was still campaigning in June. As a matter of fact, one of his last sentences on earth was “Now it’s on to Chicago…and let’s win there” - He wasn’t going to step down anytime soon either.

It was not a historical analogy. She knows that Super Tuesday used to be in late March and the CA primary used to be in June. In the context of her racial appeals, allegations of extremist ties by Sen. Obama & her claims that his victory over her is due sexism by Sen. Obama and now her invocation of religious faith in the face of adversity to justify her continuing campaign make this an invitation to the unbalanced.. Her campaign’s characterizing the Obama campaign’s understated response to this as an attack exacerbates the situation. Now we have a “journalist” equating the murder of Obama with killing Osama Ben Laden.
If she spoke without considering the implications she is unfit to be the President whose chance remarks can have global implications. If this was purposeful & both her prior conduct and her campaign’s subsequent comments militate against any presumption of good faith, the implications are horrific.
Either way, she should withdraw not only from the campaign but also from public life.

Think it was a slip? Same slip 4 times?
Four days after ABC polled that 59% of Americans feared for Obama’s safety, Hillary started talking assassination.
Hard to believe,
but this site has the facts and sources: http://zfacts.com
The facts speak for themselves.
