Only person Barak has to fear is the Clintonoids. Fort Marcy Park and an accidental shooting to the back of the head with a shotgun.

That is not an unreasonable fear. And it would horrific for this country. I hope we are doing everything humanly possible to keep him safe.

I doubt they were thinking of Arkancide...

This video is on Obama’s website. Halfway through the video, it was pointed out to me that there is a black power sign used.
You be the judge.
It comes up at 2:00, into the video.

Over at the DUmp they're calling for an end to churches' tax-exempt status because, according to them, conservatives "misuse" the pulpit by exhorting voters to vote their values. They ignore the few posts asking them if this would also apply when the Clintons, black pastors, etc, do the same.

Obama will NEVER be the nominee: too risky overall. Now that he and Hillary have “made nice”, it looks like he HAS to be the chosen running mate. That is EXACTLY where he belongs-—his crossover appeal will make it a stronger Dem ticket/ So who then needs the same crossover appeal of McCain on the R side? That may be why Romney becomes the R nominee

Exactly, Hussein had better stay out of DC parks or he may get a chance to ask Vince Foster what happened?

I can appreciate the thought that the Congregation has, but to rely on Government for your deliverance is not wise, Govt is interested in creating Clients, not success stories.

I'd be concerned about 'Arkancide' before I'd be concerned about a racially motivated attempt. This is not 1968.

Just being a president is enough of a risk for assassination attempt as Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Kennedy, Reagan, Teddy Roosevelt, Nixon, Ford, Bush41 and others found out.

" ... The Zion Hill Baptist Church preacher not only doesn't think the country is ready for a black man to become president. Kinsel -- and his worshippers -- fear Democratic contender Sen. Barack Obama will be assassinated if he is ever elected to the post ..."


Is the Hollywood writers strike over?

Obama is an empty suit. He has absolutely no qualifications to be POTUS.

Prejudice is only alive because people like him won't let it go. I never see the kind of racism from white leaders that I see from people like him and Sharpton, and Jackson.

I would have said exactly the same things two years ago, before having a biracial couple in my family. The small and large insults that happen routinely to black Americans was something I was so shocked and saddened to learn about. We are not as far down the road as I had comfortably and conveniently believed.

Laughable! You can't have any Democratic campaign without the candidates making the rounds of black churches' pulpits.

Rating: R for brief violent images
Genre: Drama/Documentary
Format: Widescreen
Feature Running Time: 97 minutes
DVD Audio Status: 5.1 Dolby Digital Audio

Winner of the International Critics' Prize at the Toronto Film Festival, Death of a President is conceived as a fictional TV documentary broadcast in 2008, reflecting on a monstrous and cataclysmic event: the assassination of President George W. Bush on October 19th, 2007. The "documentary" artfully combines archival footage and carefully composed interviews presented in a respectful and dignified manner.

“And who do they think is going to going to try to take him out?

Don’t answer....”

Sorry, but I must.

My guess would be a conservative, southern, white Christian male.

And who keeps this lie simmering?

Self-hating, white, non-Christian, “progressive” liberals, who use class and race divisiveness routinely as a lever toward increased political power.
