What needs to be said is that 1/4 presidents have attempts made on their lives, this is not an isolated incident by any means, but having an attempt on Obama would be deterimental to the progress of this country....
And calling out someone because they call Obama inexperienced and bringing race into the equation is laughable. 95 % of African Americans are voting for Obama that is actually a fact his experience isn't even brought into question which is a ****ing joke, the man has literally a year and a half experience in the Senate. Doing well in school also doesn't qualify you to be President, half the leaders of this country are average students.
There is nothing wrong with appreciating Obama for what he has achieved, but he hasn't been picked apart by the media and has enjoyed one large grace period. McCain isn't a superstar by any stretch, but if you heard McCain preacher that was a mentor figure was a racist white radical I can only imagine the **** that people would be saying. If you think Obama is going to be good for jobs the economy, etc fine, but preaching, being smooth and promising hope without solutions doesn't qualify you to be president.
I am just voting against the Oil Companies, for the universal health care, and for cleaner energy sources.

There are racists out there that want to kill him. There are racists out there that won't vote for him. There are conservative people that are afraid of change. Why does this surprise anyone? Why when an event happens do we jump up and say "wow this country is f'd up?". I can guarantee there is another racist group planning or hoping right now. This doesn't suprise me and when the next attempt is thwarted it won't change my opinion regarding my current feelings of the country and it's people.
I just hope that people will like me

Bip do you 100% believe that these guys who were apprehended were serious about trying to assasinate Obama, or did the police and media lean us to believe that way ?

I think both situations are equally plausible. That's why I keep an open mind so that I will continue to be objective and not allow the media or my personal bias get in the way. My decision will be based on what I think is best. Hopefully others will be open minded and not jump to conclusions in either direction and use their own minds.

All that matters in US government is balance of power. With power in Congress shifted to Dems America will better elect Republican President. And this is the best scenario - the best government in America is the government who can do nothing. I do not want these corrupt politicians to mess up my life by creating stupid laws and making idiotic decisions. Live is smarter that any leader and any party. I am OK with them playing their game and leave me alone to build my live the way I like. I had enough strong power in Soviet Union. Obama promise of change is as empty as McCain status quo. They know there is nothing they can do to make our life better. And they both know that the best thing for American people is to live us alone to take care about our lives. And everybody will get what he/she deserve.
