Malcolm got killed by his own people, and it wasn't because he "fought for equality"; he "turned traitor."

I personally don't think Barack will win in 2008; I don't even think he'll win the primary. He just doesn't have enough experience. If by some happy circumstance he does win, I don't think he'll be assassinated.

^ That's true, I think chances are Hilary will win the primary... mostly due to having more money... which really isnt fair.

well majority of the time republicans have conservative views... that is why majority of the time i favor republicans.. its just a matter of my opinion

You are vastly mistaken.

I seriously doubt anyone is gonna assassinate Obama. There will be a lot of people who dont like him and will protest, but no one will go so far as to kill him.

Are you serious? He's for a woman's right to choose, I know that for sure. I'll try to find a link to where I read about him being for partial birth.

2 of the people mentioned weren't presidents. And I'm not going to lie. I'm kind of scared for him too. But lets hope for the best. And at least give it a try. Maybe America isn't as racist as we think it still is.

are you serious?
oh its 2007!
racism has no effect on politics these days!
we're all treated equally! only "wacko" racists want to bring him down!
no.

there is a high chance he would be assasinated
and many people would agree with that [think about the end movie Head of State]
I'm sure he's worried about it too, but if he even become president that will be a huge step for our country

I never said race never has any effects on politics. It does.
He very well could be at risk for being assasinated, but I dont think he would be any more likely than a white person. Just like there are racist white people, there are black ones who are racist against whites. I dont think either one would be stupid enough this day and age to attempt to assasinate someone due to their race unless they were mentally unstable. 50 years ago it would have been ALOT easier. But today? No, I dont think so. I think any mentally sane person would realize that if they even attempted it, they'd most likely fail, and end up rotting in jail for it. The chances of someone succeeding at it are slim to nothing.

Look at how many people hate Bush. Not because of his race, but for what he's done so far during his presidency. Over 60% of his own country disagrees with him, and most of the world hates him. So many people I'm sure would LOVE to kill him, but no one's been successful at getting close enough yet. And when you just look at Obama's race, I'm sure far less people are going to hate him around the world. So how would he stand a better chance than Bush of being assasinated?

Haha, if Dubya's not dead, I think Obama will be fine.

I can almost guarantee that most people you walk up to and ask them what is the first thing that pops into their head when you say George W. Bush it will be 'Evil, stupid, dumb, hill billy, idiotic, and Texas.'

Ha ha.

^ Hehe.

Not that I want Bush dead, but I still cant believe no one's tried yet.

Are you dumb? Many people have tried to kill Geroge W. They all get stopped and arrested. Though I'm only talking from opinion and not fact, I think that they don't publicise these actions because they don't want people trying to imitate them. Plus most people who decide to assassinate the president talk about it a lot before they actually do it, so it's not exactly hard to know which people want to kill him.

This is a story of a guy who threw a grenade into a crowd of people with George W. Bush in it. There are more examples than this, but I'll use this one because it was the first one I saw.

^Thats true, I'm sure alot of people have tried... but I meant how no one's come very close. Was it Bush senior who actually got shot? Or maybe it was someone else. I meant something happening like that.

Thats probably true though, they dont want civilians knowing about it. I guess sensing the media would end up sending people in a panic mode?

John FK was shot and killed.

^ Yeah, I remember that. Several presidents have been assasinated. But I thought since then, there's been a president that was shot, but wasnt seriously injured.

Reagan was shot.

^ Ahhh okay thanks. Yeah that's who it was.

Too bad it didn't kill the sombitch.

Obama will be fine unless someone ALLOWS it to happen. With security today, things of that nature only happen if its planned from the inside out.

I have read every Barack Obama book, I have went to 11 Barack Obama speeches, and I have had him sign one of my books. I am pretty sure I hope he wins, and I am pretty sure he will. His popularity is astounding. No other presidential candidate right now gets the crowds, the support, and the website hits as Barack Obama. I watch when he gives public outdoor speeches and the amount of people that show up is amazing. Take it from the Illinois point of view, he won by a LAND SLIDE here, and he will do so when it comes to the Presidential Election. If you are just not wanting him to win because of his supporters not knowing why they like him, I am sorry you feel that way. You should learn a little yourself.....

I also hate it when people say it would be awesome for him to be the first black president. All I have to say is color doesnt matter, so shut the **** up and actually vote on what you believe in.

^ So he's even better in person? Man, I'd love to meet him.

So, forgive me, cause math isn't my strongest subject and I'm doing a little math here... so... if my great grandmother didn't go to college and my grandmother didn't go to college and my mom didn't go to college... that means I won't go to college?

Is that your logic here?

Just because something happens once or twice doesn't mean it will happen again. Things have changed a lot in the past few decades. Or have you not been paying attention?

Lucky bastard.

The troops love the guy.

I don`t know whether or not Barack will win, but if he does, I do get the feeling that he will get assassinated, or that there will be attempts.

I just really really hope something so terrible doesn't happen.

i think america is ready for a black president. i mean we just had a retarded one.
