Once Obama goes into office, will someone try to assassinate him?
Im being dead serious (no pun intended), many of you guys reading this are prolly going WTF is this guy real?
But this is something serious. If you think about it, its something that is on the table. JFK anyone?
Racism is still VERY strong in the red neck area of the woods, if you are educated in that are you know how much that shit still exists.
So mind you, what would stop some redneck (KKK at heart) from Bama to make history in his fucked up eyes?
what im saying is that he will get elected, but killed before he gets to live in the white house

No matter if it was Obama or Clinton who was elected president, both would have some serious challenges facing them.
Obama, because of his race...it's obvious. More of an issue within our boundries
Hilary, because of her sexuality....we already have a difficult time with relationships in the middle east...now just think how they'd deal with us if a woman was running the US....the difficulties!
Put them on the same card, and it could be seen in two ways....WAY MORE of a difficult situatiion....but also a situation that if we can get past succeed, just imagine how people could look back on would be an epic era in the US government.

i mention to someone that when obama gets into the white house the secret service will invest our tax dollars into making a obama mobile, much similar to the pope mobile. i heard he's behind bullet proof glass. i could be wrong, but i bet it could that way.

The vehicle was custom built by BAE Systems' Centigon division (formerly O'Gara, Hess & Eisenhardt). It was first used on January 20, 2005 during the second inauguration parade of George W. Bush. The Secret Service refers to the heavily-armored vehicle as "the beast."

looks like if he does a parade of some sort you wouldn't be able to see him. i like the idea of the obama mobile though.

it'll be entertaining to say the least to watch obama lay waste to the mccain campaign in the next 5 months. i swear, that guy (mccain) has nothing useful left to say other than to remind us of how honorable he used to be and to tear at obama's character since his candidacy doesn't have any real substance to offer. and obama on the other hand is so adept at handling character assasination that it will continue to backfire on the republicans until they decide to redefine themselves. we are witnessing the death of the conservative era, and poor mccain is here trying to rearrange deck chairs to a dying base while struggling to remain relevant to the rest of america. these are exciting times we live in. and i think obama can do much much better than hillary, even though she is the most obvious safe bet to secure the 'low education vote'.

If Obama has one huge downfall, it's that when he's asked any real questions on the spot, he comes of as startled and not as a confident person with a quick, strong response like you think..
Actually, every time I've seen him on TV in a one-on-one or something where he's hit with a good question he was like this...wasn't so good.
