Clinton under fire over killing remark
HILLARY Clinton has triggered a firestorm by bringing up the 1968 assassination of Robert Kennedy to justify her decision to prolong her White House campaign.
Senator Clinton quickly appeared on camera today to say she had not meant to be offensive.
The campaign team for her Democratic rival Barack Obama had complained that such comments had no place in the 2008 election campaign.
The former first lady originally told a newspaper board in South Dakota she could not understand calls for her to quit the race, arguing that history showed that some past nominating contests had gone on into June.
"My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary, somewhere in the middle of June, right?" Senator Clinton said in an interview with the Argus Leader newspaper editorial board.
"We all remember, Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California, I don't understand it," she said.
Obama spokesman Bill Burton condemned the remarks.

The assassination Porn of Obama which featured earlier in the campaign has come back. Hilary didn't say Obama this time, but he is her opponent. Why do so many of Obama's friends want him dead?
