The "assassination" that Barry has to worry about is the one if he chooses Hillary as his VP. Less than 30 days after inauguration is my bet in the pool. It only depends on whether she wants to be the first woman "elected president" or just the first woman president.

Not to mention of the problems of having both Billy and Hilly constantly upstaging him.

Fort Marcy park anyone?

O.K., I'm dense. Who would play Vince Foster in this imaginary scenario?

You're right; NOBODY would believe Obama suicided.

I cited EXACTLY what you stated and responded to EXACTLY what you stated.

Again your words not mine

And when it came out sounding the way it did her mind started racing for a way out. But it was too late.


If you want to restate it then feel free. Your statement implied that it was an off the cuff remark she made and you asserted that as she stated it she knew it was the wrong thing to say.

I demonstrated that she had said the exact same thing weeks before, it was most likely a planned out statement she was prepared to make when given the opportunity.

Where have I mistated what you said?

Then you made the following "since we all do it" argument

And I think the reason it is sticking to her is because we have all thought the same thing.

Which is not true at all.

It wasn't an off the cuff remark that she immeidately begin to think how can I get out of it, she had said the same thing weeks earlier.

See this is the problem with not reading what I said in its entirety.

Many of us thought she was staying hoping for a gaffe by Obama. And I assume somewhere in the back of her mind she even thought an assassination attempt could happen. I was not saying we were all thinking he might be assassinated. I was saying that I think in her mind she thought anything can happen. Even that. But you never pay attention to the entire post.

In other words I was saying many of us think that was on her mind. Not our minds.

I am really getting tired of explaining these things again and again. If you would spend a little less time parsing my statements. And a little more time reading and understanding them we can have much better debates.

Speak for yourself.

I read what you said in it's entirity and responded to the salient points with enough of your cite so you'd know exactly what I was responding to.

All of which you have offered nothing with which to support the assertion where it has been shown to you this was a planned retort, she had stated it weeks before.

You have been understood completely, what you haven't done is offer a rebutal to the response you got and the fact that she had stated it before, this was not a slip of the tongue.
