Obama will be assassinated if he wins: Nobel winner Lessing
Sat Feb 9, 12:00 PM
STOCKHOLM (AFP) - If Barack Obama becomes the next US president he will surely be assassinated, British Nobel literature laureate Doris Lessing predicted in a newspaper interview published here Saturday.
Obama, who is vying to become the first black president in US history, "would certainly not last long, a black man in the position of president. They would murder him," Lessing, 88, told the Dagens Nyheter daily.
Lessing, who won the 2007 Nobel Literature Prize, said it might be better if Obama's Democratic rival Hillary Clinton were to succeed in her bid to become the first woman president of the United States.
"The best thing would be if they (Clinton and Obama) were to run together. Hillary is a very sharp lady. It might be calmer if she were to win, and not Obama," she said.

Thats one fugly female. ...If he gets assasinated, it’ll be by another leftist. Theyre good at those kinds of things, just ask John Kennedy.
To: Libloather
Silly old hag. She is trying to make us look like a racist nation, like her own country.
The only faction who would try to assassinate Obama is the Clinton Mafia. Other liberals. Life has no worth to them.

If Obama was assassinated, it would be a Muslim Supremacist doing his duty to Allah by killing an apostate.
Leftists frequently are killed by folks in their own movement. JFK was killed by an angry Marxist, RFK was killed by a Pali, Al Gore’s Presidential chances were killed by Comrade Nader.....

The voters in Louisiana went 70-10 for Hillary and 29-90 for Obama. Whites to Hillary, Blacks to Obama. I’ve heard it called racism and the ‘old’ south. Since this is a Democratic primary, can it be deduced it’s the Democrats Lessing is talking about?

To: Libloather
The danger for a Democrat is when he stands between a Clinton and the Presidency. That is unless as a poster noted he were to give Hillary the VP which would indicate that Obama was subconsciously harboring a death wish.

Actually, the idea of Obama getting elected and getting assassinated scares the crap out of me.
Consider this: Obama is elected, with Hillary as a running mate. Obama is gunned down, and Hillary “finds” evidence pinning it on right wings, conservatives, the NRA, etc. The media goes along with it. And people like us suddenly become the Jews in a new Nazi Germany.

Lessing was a Communist and a primarily a writer on political and feminist sociology. Her second husband was also a Communist.
This kind of resume always helps one to win a Nobel Prize.

If Hillary is VP you can count on an Arksancide path to the White House.
And it is racist to proclaim that ONLY Obama faces the threat of assassination as President. In an age of international terrorism, ALL of our Presidential candidates are at risk of this threat.
It is what makes the VP nomination more than just “nominal” to “balance a ticket”.

The kid who never was? There were rumors of someone who cried out that the emperor had no clothes but this cannot be. It is fine tailoring. There is no proof that he ever existed. Those who initially reported seeing and hearing him have changed their story to admit that it could’ve just been a car backfiring or that they wanted to be a part of the breaking story...
