Barack Obama?

Does Barack Obama have a higher risk of being assassinated because of his race? (Assuming he becomes president).

1. Depends on whose holding the gun.
2. Let us hope not!
3. Yes
4. I think he does more than the other candidates.....
5. Yes, Yahoo won't let me post it, but go to youtube and kkk/obama and see for yourself.
6. If the SS can keep Bush alive I'm sure they'll have no trouble protecting Obama.
7. nice talk (he answered, sarcastically)
8. no because there would be hightened security on him because of his race, how would it look if the first Black President got assassinated.
9. It could happen before he becomes......
10. You must be Ralph Nader!! Ron Paul, maybe?
11. Strangely enough, I do think he's at higher risk, but NOT because of his race. Instead, I think it's because he has these fanatical supporters who are absolutely enthralled and obsessed with him, and when that happens... Just think about John Lennon... think about why Ronald Reagan was shot... THAT'S why I think he's more at risk.
12. hate groups, are we hearing from them, should we look into any groups that is opposing the US and find out what is going on with them vs our next president..
13. not really there are whackos who want to kill every president but hillary proved she is bullet proof lol
14. Sadly yes. They got to King & Kennedy 40 years ago. Not all that much has changed.
15. It's questions like this that get deleted and then idiots say something like "I just asked a question about the election" Shameful!
16. definitely.....any president or president hopeful who also was about real justice got himself killed in this country....JFK,Robert Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln....they all got assassinated..............and they all were seeking true justice for all their people.....Obama is a presidential hopeful and he is about seeking justice...so, chances are that sooner or later someone will try to assassinate him....it might not be so much his race but the fact that he is extremely well liked and that he is talking about all people, not only black people....
17. Probably not. But to paraphrase; 'there are minds that sway in that direction.'
18. Yes. If elected I hypothesize an attempt being made on his life within the first 2 years.
19. Depends on who is vice president...
20. no i don't think he has a higher risk.
21. Yes...but not as much as him being muslim does. I was having a conversation with my husband the other day about this. I told him I feared if he got into office some redneck would come out of the woodwork and try to kill him.
