This doesn't surprise me in the least.

" If Barack Obama becomes the next US president he will surely be assassinated, British Nobel literature laureate Doris Lessing predicted in a newspaper interview published here Saturday.

Obama, who is vying to become the first black president in US history, "would certainly not last long, a black man in the position of president. They would murder him," Lessing, 88, told the Dagens Nyheter daily.

Lessing, who won the 2007 Nobel Literature Prize, said it might be better if Obama's Democratic rival Hillary Clinton were to succeed in her bid to become the first woman president of the United States.

"The best thing would be if they (Clinton and Obama) were to run together. Hillary is a very sharp lady. It might be calmer if she were to win, and not Obama," she said. "



lol women

She's just jealous the black man is more popular than her feminist vote.

Well, if some 88 year old Persian chick thinks so, it must be true.

That said, I have thought about the possibility that some whacko could take a shot at him, if he was elected, and the madness that would ensue.

The fallout from that would be massive. International.

To me, the racism in certain states and among certain people, is the biggest hinderance to Obama that I can imagine. He can speak, he has decent ideas, but he's black and you.

 

[Guthrum]

I think everyone has thought about the possibility of Obama getting assassinated at least once. You know it would be a bunch of rednecks that did it, too. I'm worried that if he gets elected, Hillary will be VP, and then when he gets assassinated, BAM! We'll have her.

And then the whole Titor story will be one step closer to being true, AND THE NWO WILL WIN, NOOOOO.

From everything I've read, there's almost no chance of either of them being the VP candidate.

Well, that's good then. We don't need her as a VP.

Yeah, on the surface that's what I've read as well; however, my instincts tell me that if Hillary gets the nomination she'll have no choice but to give the VP nod to Obama (assuming he'd accept) to diffuse the unrest that would result over her getting the candidacy. If Obama gets the nomination, he could pretty much name any VP candidate he wants IMO.

The prevailing wisdom seems to be, that Bill will be 2nd in charge, significantly diminishing the role of the VP. Consequently, the role of Hillary's VP will be significantly less desirable than the role of VP typically is. In addition, Obama would forever link himself to the Clintons, in the minds of Republicans and Independents, and to some extent, damage his electability. Often the Vice Presidency is seen as a role to the Presidency. However, Obama's road is already paved for 2016 or 2020, and he doesn't need the Vice Presidency.

Sounds logical, and I pretty much don't disagree with any of that, but I do think Hillary would be pressured to give him the nod for the reason I mentioned. Perhaps if he's smart, he'll decline. Hopefully, he wouldn't feel forced to accept the spot based on a frenzied media and subsequent public reaction to his not getting the candidacy. It might be enough for him to make it known publicly that he was at least offered the VP spot and declined, which would help quiet the unrest.

Expect riots in all major cities once Obanana is denounced as nothing more than a filthy simian who needs to be beaten next to his little bruddah Tiger in an alley way.

Fourrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Who knows, maybe Texas will get off their lazy asses and finish seceding then.

Hillary slightly buzzed and very appropriately in the company of Sam Malone ...

If Obama gets elected, he will be assassinated, further leading to even more division and economic woes for the USA. Worse than even 9/11.

Dont even get me started on that Socialist Billary.

They're all dirtbags.

 

[lurch70]

whoa ... where'd that come from?

i still can't believe that we get to choose between Hillary, Obama and McCain ... we are a super power ... are we not?

 

[Reign in Acai]

I'm voting for Nader. I don't even need to know the gist of his political views, nor do I think I want to.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Clinton's far from a socialist, I assure you .

 

[NAD]

Thirded. Choads.

 

[lurch70]

so i hear this heated discussion today on the radio about the "3AM" Hillary ad that was meant to scare ... it turns out one of the kids in the ad is wearing pajamas that partially read "NIG" with the rest not visible ... coincidence? doubt it ...

watch around the 10-12 second mark

 

[Reign in Acai]

It more than likely reads "Good Night". I'm not surprised that my pals would spin something completely innocent in to pseudo bigotry.
