Obama the rabble-rouser

I was going to write something snarky about how Clinton was blaming Obama for the RFK situation, but a guy from the the Houston Chronicle beat me to it.

Delusion reigns supreme in the Clinton camp these days. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any stranger, Terry McAuliffe appeared today on Fox News Sunday and blamed the Obama campaign for Hillary’s remarks about Bobby Kennedy. Yes, you read that right, it’s Obama’s fault.

Here it is from the Washington Post:

“Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign accused Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign of fanning a controversy over her describing the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy late in the 1968 Democratic primary as one reason she is continuing to run for the presidency

The Obama campaign tried to take these words out of context,” Clinton campaign chairman Terence R. McAuliffe said on “Fox News Sunday.” “She was making a point merely about the time line.”

Ah yes, the dreaded out of context. The last refuge of someone trying to defend an indefensible statement. Tell me Terry, exactly what would be the proper context in referring to the assassination of a presidential candidate? Just curious.

And about that time line, I think that was debunked in my earlier post today. Nice try Terry.

McAuliffe then added this about the statement released by Robert Kennedy Jr.:

“If Robert F. Kennedy Jr. doesn’t find offense to it, why is it that everybody else should?” McAuliffe said. “They shouldn’t. They ought to take Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — he did not misinterpret it or misjudge it.”

What did you think the Kennedy family would say, Terry? Somebody has to show some class in this train wreck, and it sure isn’t going to be anyone in the Clinton campaign.

McAuliffe then rambled on with the usual Clinton drivel. Florida, blah blah blah, Michigan, blah blah blah, count every vote, blah blah blah. Yawn.

Got that Barack, it’s your fault. I believe you owe the lady an apology. While you’re at it, apologize for kicking her behind from sea to shining sea. She deserves that much.

What did Obama say that was so inflammatory and mean to Clinton?

But Obama himself later said, “I don’t think that Senator Clinton intended anything by it,” and that “we should put it behind us.”

What a smug elitist he is. Harumph.
