Now It's Obama's Fault?

Clinton Camp Stokes RFK Flap by Blaming Obama

By Zachary A. Goldfarb
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."


That small excerpt there shows a desperate campaign gasping for its last breath. So their spin machine is now trying to put the blame on Obama for her RFK remarks. Terry McAuliffe and Howard Wolfson have been the laughing stock of her campaign. Their spins are getting so ridiculous that it is on the verge of outrageous and comedic. Obama had already made a statement saying that he will take her word, and that he believed that it was just a case of someone choosing some unfortunate words (take for example his "bitter" remarks, which the Clinton campaign gladly fanned to the media). It is the Clinton campaign flailing wildly, hoping to land a blow to Obama, or hoping he commits a major gaffe in the near future.

It is not Obama's fault that Hillary committed the increible gaffe. Trying to pit the blame on Obama just sunk and already sinking campaign into further oblivion.
