The thing I fear will happen.

Sadly I agree, but I thought that way about both presidential candidates. I didn't foresee McCain finishing his term without life support of some kind due to his age/health record. And honestly if Obama died it wouldn't be that bad, a tragic loss yes, but not that bad because instead of Palin rising to power we have Biden and he would also become a martyr for various political reasons. Hopefully though SS is aware of this threat and will keep on their toes around the president.

I've heard a lot of interesting theories of how Obama will be assassinated, but yours is by far the most original.

I fear that it is a possibility...

Uh, thanks, I guess

No offense intended. I'm just amused at the anticipations that many people have presented to me, often times without a base, or based purely on coincidental speculative observation. :)

None taken, I'm just a bit suprised by the "most original" part.

I can see it happening, too - and it's sad, especially considering that a lot of Obama's opponents are traditionalists of one kind or another.

My grandparents - traditionalists in the true sense of the word - taught me a value that became part of my own moral code: Love him or hate him, the President is the President - and the office deserves respect.

The idea of a President being assassinated shakes my morals to the very core.

As much as I fear this too, think about how many people wanted GW out of office and reeeally didn't like him. You think any of the people that lost millions on the stock market have any bad feelings against GW? I'm just saying, if some multi-millionaire/ thier corperation, that can afford some high end assassin, can't find a way to kill the president, then some crazy guy is not gonna have a very good chance. The SS and FBI are serious business.

Yes, but unlike some multi-millionaire/corporation, the person who will try to kill Obama will have nothing left to live for in their warped little minds. Not to mention, ths stock market crash was not GW's fault, it was the ass hat who thought it was a good idea to take millions in debt and turn it into stocks and sell them.

Which was, up until the Bush Administration deregulated banks, not something you could do.
