Assassination of Pres. Barack Obama
Is it true that because Pres. Barack Obama is Black and likely to bring overwhelming historical changes in the United States of America that he will likely be a target for assassination?
The past doesnt seem to discriminate against "white" presidents...

There are also rumours that Taylor and Harding were assassinated. So putting them all together and realizing that there have only been 43, that would be 14 out of 43...which is basically a 1 in 3 chance it will happen. Pretty bad numbers for any profession!

I believe that anyone who wants to assassinate our president is crazy and needs to be locked up for a long time. We the people of this great nation elected him as our president. He should be given the respect due to him until they themselves make some bone head decision. We still will not take him out with a bullet or other deadly devise. IF we need him out of office that is the job of our congress. We have methods in place already to take him out of office. Some persons personal agenda or vendetta against him is not good for our nation.
