She Knew Exactly What She Was Doing. But now has lost the Blair House too.
Making this subject (assassination) a lead story across the nation, while running against the first black presidential candidate is outrageous. But Hillary tested this in what she thought was a quiet little corner of the world. But she miscalculated.

She knew exactly what she was doing...
How many times do you think she cringed at the subject of assassination ever appearing in the news when her husband was the president. How many times did she jump at the sound of a car backfiring while Bill was pressing the flesh at public venues on the campaign trail. How many times did she have to soothe Chelsea's fears as she grew up learning of the real danger for her dad. Hillary has lived with secret service protection for a long time. She knows the danger of planting that thought in the mind of some nut out there who might take her message as a personal mission and try to act on it.

Hillary has been telling the world that Obama is:

1) "not ready on day one",
2) "not as strong a candidate in the general election versus John McCain"

and with the same purpose today she tried to reinforce (for the fourth time according to K.O.) the notion that she may also be
3) a safer choice for the party, to make it all the way to the finish... alive.

That was her subliminal point. Sadly, in her mind, adding another "fear" to her list of Obama deficiencies was just another legitimate political tactic.

She is well practiced and purposeful while speaking to the press. She also is an attorney, a presidential candidate, a former first lady, and a U.S. Senator. She of all people, maybe in the world, knew exactly what she was doing. But she miscalculated. And it will cost her dearly.

3. She's either ready on day one
or she's so exhausted she imagines sniper fire and inadvertently let's racially charged words slip out of her mouth on a weekly basis.

I wish her supporters would make up their minds which it is.

8. I bet there were times when she heard a bang a little light went on in her
eyes and a smile widened on her face. (j/k but maybe not)

12. Her press conference after the remark was just as disgusting
Edited on Sat May-24-08 02:04 AM by 48percenter
"She had the Kennedys on her mind, in light of Ted Kennedys illness."

Then why the fuck would she be so insensitive??


GET OUT HILLARY.
