If Obama becomes president, do you think he will be assassinated?  |

No one can say with a certainty that he won't be assassinated but I'd say his odds are about the same as any other presidential candidate's so this discussion is largely irrelevant. I don't think he's at any more risk than Bill Clinton was.

It is a very likely thing. I hope he picks a decent VP. He should make the VP black too, just to really make the job hard.

People will try, but I doubt they'll actually get him. People try with every president though.

Hmm, this is tough to say. Like other people have said, this is basically impossible to tell and a waste of time.

way to go being a fucking nub. first of all, that site is redirected to wikipedia. how about if you are going to cite something, don't use wikipedia. and second, i live 1,500 miles away from the white house and i would have had a better chance shooting a gun toward d.c. and hitting the president than this guy did. and, if you actually read the full report on the secret service webpage, you would notice that the gunman posed "no immediate threat to the presidents life." shut up, sit down, and take your own advice, read a fucking book.

Honestly, I wouldn't doubt it. Considering that one, he's is black. And two, everyone thinks he's a Muslim and all that jazz.

Wikipedia isn't reliable for solid statistics, but I think if the attempt hadn't happened it would have been edited out by now. In fact, your attitude in the first few sentences sounds like you didn't believe the fact that THERE WAS STILL AN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT. Good job not reading the entire article either....I wasn't talking about the man shooting at the white house, I was talking about the person that threw a grenade at him in Tbilisi. I suggest you take back your comment, and that the person that said 'owned' should also retract his statement, because frankly, you're both fucking idiots.
