Not talking about facts, history and truths doesn't make them go away.

I yearn for the days when people actually CAN have substantive discussions. It won't happen in this moronic season, though.

There IS a point to be made that her experience (NY Senator/campaigning against presumptive nominee/primary contests winding down in JUNE/On to the Convention for a floor fight) is VERY similar to RFK's. VERY. She is in the same position he was in. Heading to the convention to duke it out. His journey was interrupted. Hopefully hers won't be.

But Obama was NOWHERE near that conversation. Nowhere. It was not about HIM.

That conversation was about HER CAMPAIGN. For some reason, and I postulate SEXISM, frankly, Team Obama had to DRAG Obama into that discussion when his name was not even mentioned, his CAMPAIGN was not mentioned, and the only points of reference were the RFK campaign and Clinton's campaign.

Why do you suppose that Team Obama would engage in such faux poutrage? It's either stupidity, sexism, or it's a deliberate smear job. It's entirely false, these accusations. And they reflect badly on those who made them.

RFK Jr. said it right--Obama supporters were WRONG.
