Admit it people, Clinton made a mistake.

Most Clinton supporters and many Obama supporters can’t admit their candidate made a mistake and show a lack of maturity I don't expect to see from adults. Clinton made a mistake and said something very distasteful when she talked about staying in the election. To mention RFK, June, and assassination in the same statement, at this point in the election, is unfortunate at best. Her lack of skills as a campaigner at times is unfortunate. I don't believe it was intentional, but perhaps there was some unconscious desire coming through. I don't know. The fact of the matter is, she said those words.

So, instead of defending the comments of your beloved candidate, how about admitting it was a poor choice of words. Here's how it works:

1. Obama made a mistake when he said, "clinging to guns and religion”. A better choice of words would be "people are afraid and we need to give them something to fight for and look up to”.

2. Obama made a gaff when he said "sweetie" to a reporter. He needs to be careful.

3. Obama shouldn't have mentioned "Clinton having tea parties".

4. Reverend Wright is a fool who said somethings that are true and I am glad Obama finally distanced himself.

See? It's not so hard. Try this, "Clinton misspoke, it was unfortunate, and no one wants harm to come to any candidate. I am sure she's sorry and regrets her words."

See, it's not so hard. Now you try it.
