I change my mind. I don't think there was anything malicious in Hillary's comments

If she was really sticking around just in case Obama got shot she would NEVER have verbalized it, knowing if he ever did get shot, she would look really bad having said such a thing. Think how she would look now if something did happen to Obama. She would NEVER be given the nomination now, after those words. Had she been hoping for such a terrible thing she would have thought things through and known NEVER to verbalize something that would key people in on what she was planning. No, I think as RFK Jr. said, she tended to associate his death with a campaign that went on into June. It was one of those things that stood out as a marker for a long campaign in her head. She probably realized it was a mistake to have said it right after it came out, even though she had made the same mistake earlier. Sometimes people will say the same stupid thing twice because it fits in with their train of thought. Once you start to make an argument you have made in the past, you can't stop it in time from coming out the same way you said it before.

I still think she has been very selfish in this campaign and has lied about many facts and twisted things around in Karl Rove fashion. I think KO's list of things she had done was spot on, but in this case she just made a stupid gaff. I do think she owes Obama and his family and apology because her words are most certainly going to cause the Obamas to worry.

What she did was right up there with the girl who wore the shirt that looked like it had a bomb attached to it into the airport. Both mistakes will go down in history as two of the biggest fuck-ups known to mankind. But in both cases, neither person meant anyone harm.
