| Another article said that they had 33 grams of meth with them. Can you aim a rifle when you're strung out? |

^Its actually almost impossible now because after JFK and the attempt on Reagan, the secret service has massively improved along with the protection for the commander in chief. It almost has to be an inside job which more likely won't happened. Also the Secret Service would take the bullet for the President.

Not really that drastic. The first person was picked up over 25 miles away from the convention center, while Mr. Obama was several hundred miles away. It isn't as if the suspect had his finger on the trigger and his target in the crosshairs.

Even the candidates I don't like, I wouldn't want to see them killed. They're actually real human beings with families. They're not just a collectoin of pixels on a computer screen.

I would think the fall out of the assassination of a black American President would be the election of ANOTHER black president. And rightly so.

Who knows. That is a hypothetical, after all. Maybe Obama is the black man's one and only shot at running the nation.

Nod.
That is a fact. I would think that it would be the appropriate response so as to not capitulate to a murderous interest group. I think the odds would be increased that America would be willing to put up with a less than ideal president, just to make a point.

When was the last time America had a president liked by everyone?

JFK back in 1960 and FDR in 1932, 1936, 1940, and 1944.
