The negative spin on Clinton's "RFK" remark is silly at best and
disingenuous at worst. I just went to MSNBC and listened to the press conference in order to hear that remark.

I'm an Obama supporter and I couldn't believe what I was reading about Hillary spinning "RFK's assassination" as a reason for her to remain in the race.

She did not say that. She was talking about how Bill didn't wrap up the nomination until June after the California Primary, and she was talking about how RFK's win in California in June would have catapulted him to the nomination. She was in no way referring to getting the nomination in case of an Obama assassination. No way. No how.

And, anyone who thinks otherwise, in my opinion either 1) is not old enough to remember the great joy of RFK's supporters after that California win, and before his assassination that night, or 2) is just making shit up.

Obama supporters, our candidate has won. We don't like it when Obama's words are taken out of context and used as a political weapon when we know he didn't mean it the way it is spun. (i.e. "bitter") Let's not sink to the level of taking other candidates' words out of context to mean something that was never intended.

Cheese on a cracker---comments like that are NOT helping Obama.

1. The primaries started later back then. She's doing her usual spin job.
