I weep for our future
With all the rampant vitriol being spewed at recent McCain rallies, we have to face the very real possibility that Obama will be assassinated prior to the election. Audience members shout out that Obama is a terrorist, that he is treasonous, and in some cases even that he should be killed. The ludicrousness of all these viewpoints is disheartening for the future of our country, to say the least, outright frightening to say a bit more.
Obama is not the terrorist - after all, war is just terrorism with a bigger budget, making our current government and George W. Bush the real terrorists.
If Obama manages to make it to election day without assassination and then gets elected, I would think he's safe. He's not the candidate of change so many wish him to be, and once that is demonstrated then his chance of survival improves greatly.
I weep for the future of this country, when in 2008 so many people can hate a man for something as meaningless as his name. Have we learned so little as a nation from our dark past that we are condemned to repeat it?
