We'll see how long he lasts.. ( at getting shot )

That's a terrible attitude.

i doubt it. there have been millions of people pissed about how many soldiers are dying in iraq and haven't killed george bush, and that would be a legit reason to. there's still racism in america, but i dont think there's anyone who'd kill him for being black. racism isn't in groups like it used to be, everyone who's a racist is just a jerk on their own, so i doubt they'd carry it out by themselves. assassinations have to be organized.

In the Southern States such organizations still exist, but in smaller numbers than there used to be.

I'm glad he won out of Hilary and him, but I cant help thinking how this is going to cause very big fights. I'm not racist but there are people out there who didn't want him to win simply because he is black, and I think there is a chance he could get assassinated and I'm sorry to say it but its true, sadly

There's always a chance any leader can be assassinated. However there are just some people (I cannot find a polite way of saying this) who are just totally ignorant, and their behavior is irrational. But racist groups like this are getting smaller and smaller every day, so it's improving.

In my opinion I want Obama to win, it would be great to see the first African-American president of the United States :eusa_clap!

I hear Communists were pretty good at slotting Presidents on their own.

To be fair, they were both running for the same Party so their ideals aren't going to be that different on things like Iraq and the likes. He wants to withdraw, but then again Obama is more liberal on abortion and stuff than McCain, so that's likely to anger a few people. He looks to be a strong leader though, which is always good.

And as bad as I feel for the cheap shot at President Kennedy up there, this has still gotta be said... I still think Morgan Freeman should be the first Black President of the U.S.

Ohohoh, and wont Americans get confused when Obama starts fighting Osama?

All I can say is, what a joke.

All I can say is, what a joke.

EXACTLY! Spot on, a man that understands his politics.

Absolutely awful choice, I would rather vote John McCain.

Here are a few reasons why. I could actually write a 10 page essay but let's not go into this much detail.

1. He has not got the support of the MAJORITY of the population, only more 'super' delegates voted for him, giving him a MAJOR boost.

2. Michigan and Florida, had only 50% of delegates counted, as they were fined for moving their primaries to an earlier date. Yet again, shows that Clinton has more supports from the people, that's the major thing here.

3. The majority of white 'blue collar' workers support Clinton.

4. Clinton won the most vital battleground states that will be extremely critical in the November 2008 election.

5. Obama won A LOT of rural, more densely populated states, not major cities- crucial for the November election.

6. Media bias- how the media perceived Obama to be a better candidate

7. Constant pressure from the top of the Democratic party for Hilary to give up, and discouraged super delegates to vote for her.

8. Barak Obama with a clear ideology? Don't think so! He always states change, yet what is this change, we don't see clear reasoning behind this and a very vague ethos.

9. Statistics show that 60%, that's right 60% of Clinton backers WOULD NOT vote for Obama if he won. They would either sit out or vote for McCain. That is a huge and pretty frightening statistic for Obama to get to grips with.

10. Lack of experience? Absolutely! Obama has had very little experience in the senate, he is a relative new comer. He did not participate in a number of crucial decision, yet hammers people like John McCain who has A LOT and I mean A LOT of experience.

As I said, I could go into so much more detail, but I’m not planning to. The bottom line is, this was an absolutely awful choice, which American will regret.

What? You think obama shouldn't of won? o_O

Clinton was stuck in the past, she used fdirty tactics and was as racist as ****.

Or i may be taking this the complete wrong way and if i am then i'm sorry

[Finkelstien]

Trust me when I say Obama is just as racist, if not more!

Anyway, Grig has made fantastic points in his post above that perfectly motivates my frame of thought. I simply couldn't be bothered to waste time discussing things regarding the likes of Obama. He doesn't even deserve that much .

The only US presidents to ever get assassinated were the good ones. That is all I have to say on the matter. Thank you and goodnight!
