...right and she had really tamped it down these last few months and was affecting that Bill-esque demeanor.

At the end of the day, a president is expected to be on and in control all of the time; they are symbols. It can't be good to be in control all of the time as a person, as an individual, but, history has shown us our better presidents are ones who were; Lincoln, Washington, Reagan.

I think the more important point of this is: She knows exactly what she's doing and what she said.

It was calculated, deliberate, and not the only salvo which will be fired over the bow of the USS HillaryForPresident over the upcoming months. She is dead-on serious (no pun intended) and she fully intends to BE the next Presidential nominee.

When she gets it - her lovefest with McCain will end and he will become the next target.

The Clintons ARE the bottom of the filth barrel and they will stop at nothing to get what they want.
As much as I once thought the Clintons were too smart to stoop to this level, I am now beginning to have doubts; to suspect that maybe, just maybe in the farthest corner of her mind, she might have put forth a subliminal type message, or idea, for those who were meant to receive it.

As far out as it might seem, you all know there are kooks and crazy disturbed people out there, who just might be moved into thinking she is talking directly to them.

Impossible?? I don't know.

No, on second thought, let me go a bit farther - ANYTHING - is possible in this country. Hasn't history already shown us that much?

Oh, I don't think she's actually stupid enough to do that (hint about a future hit, etc.). But I do think that as this is the 3rd reference she's made to the RFK assassination - she's doing it because it would cause a stir, knowing full well it has very strong historical & emotional memories attached to it.

Heck, even RFK, Jr. is supposedly not offended. I think he's a Hillary supporter -and it wouldn't surprise me that he's not beneath using his family tragedy as a means to an end.

That's right. I believe she feels she is entitled to this - that it's her political birthright, so to speak. She's not a nice person - there's a lot of anectodal documentation about this. If anyone has ever read the books by Barbara Olson or the book by Buzz Patterson, (the AF officer who carried the "football" for Clinton) there's a lot of information about her and her notorious bad temper & ill-mannered personality.

Cast back a few years when Bill was finally pinned with the Lewinski scandal. She "stood by her man" through that and everyone wondered why. The assumptions by many was that she could use that when she eventually ran for President herself. She really believes she has earned the oval office by sticking with that hayseed and she'll not let some uppity N----- keep her from it.
