if obama wins...

I dislike all four major candidates. McCain and Huckabee are things I'm far to polite to say and Hilary strikes me as a power hungry witch. Obama seemed to be the best of the four but I'm not overly fond of him either. I planned on voting for him but i think my vote would be better used on promoting a lesser known , more ideal candidate. Not sure which one yet.
 
its not that obama's unreasonable, or that obama is more likeable to the majority than bush, it's that he's black.

and we've only really had old, white, protestant christian presidents. last time we tried electing JFK, and it's assumed he was assassinated for being catholic.


i feel like there are very real odds of some radical racist group taking obama out, if elected.

which would be a shame, because i feel he comes off as confident, intelligent, and inspiring.
 
I'm w/ the homos that think he'll be assassinated. Unfortunately even though MOST of the country is ready for a black president (or a woman president, etc) there are enough racist assholes out there that will be threatened by it...and when someone like that feels threatened they strike out w/ violence. It wouldn't matter if it was Obama or Colin Powell (who would absolutely get my vote if he ever ran)...the first black President will be assassinated or it will at least be attempted. Sucks that people are that ignorant...but it's the facts.
 
This topic is so stupid. I think if there was going to be an attempt on his life it wouldve happened already simply because a black man is just that hopeful for the presidency... And frankly I'm surprised, threats were never an ordeal when Jesse Jackson ran in the 80s especially with his racist comment about Jews :24:
 
So what are the ramifications? Don't vote for a black president?

If anything, increase security around him if there's going to be a legitimate threat, and leave it at that.

Absolutely not (on the not voting for a black President)!!! I agree that security should be increased around him should he be elected...but it still doesn't rule out an attempt, unfortunately.

Yeah but Jesse Jackson didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning...Obama stands a real chance. A black Presidential candidate is not a threat...a black President is (in their mind, not mine).
