i don't see basically a dime's worth of difference between the political positions of HRC and obama... so the argument of 'qualification' is totally invalid, imo... So, you are saying that Hillary's arguments are all politically motivated and her positions are almost identical to Obama's and she's only marginally better qualified? I agree completely. You say she makes political arguments like a defense lawyer: whatever works today is in, last week's argument drops down the memory hole? Chuck it out there and hope it sticks? Again, you're absolutely right. But none of this makes the case that it was beyond the pale for Hillary to refer to previous primaries that weren't wrapped up until the CA primary in June, her current argument for not dropping out. Previous campaigns didn't need this argument, so it wasn't a show of virtue on their part to avoid mentioning RFK, not that anyone would have cared because their opposition was not (shhhhhhhh!) black. Obama's been playing some racial grievance you-white-folks-just-wouldn't-understand cards pretty hard himself, so I'm not giving him a lot of sympathy here.
