SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico— Barack Obama said Saturday that he accepted rival Hillary Clinton's explanation that she made an innocent gaffe in citing Robert F. Kennedy's June 1968 assassination as a justification for continuing her long-shot bid for the Democratic presidential nomination into June.
Asked about Clinton's remarks in an interview with Radio Isla Puerto Rico while campaigning in the commonwealth, Obama attributed them to fatigue.
"I have learned that when you are campaigning for as many months as Sen. Clinton and I have been campaigning, sometimes you get careless in terms of the statements that you make, and I think that is what happened here," Obama said. "Sen. Clinton says that she did not intend any offense by it, and I will take her at her word on that."
