Every president in our history has had the same concern. Obama might find it minimally intensified, but it won't be dramatically so.

He knew that walking into the gig, as did Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Carter.......

Cool. I'm not here to argue with anyone. It's silly IMO. But, I feel like I should be able to express my feelings on something I feel strongly about. I have a scar on the back of my head that will always remind me how cruel the world is. It made me ashamed of how God made me and I was only 8 years old. So forgive me if I come off a little edgy about the subject

It is a big deal, but not the deal you made it out to be. You ignore the blatant racism that no doubt exists in your own neighborhood to point out that there might be some racist out there plotting against our president.

Where were you to blister Reverend Wright when we needed you?

Does bashing Al Sharpton count? I believe I could rip him a new one.

I'm sorry for your experience, but understand your looking at the world through the tilted prism of your own experience. To generalize based upon your experience is exactly what you're asking racists not to do. You're wrong about race, just as they are wrong.

No. It's too easy to pick on the folks who are professional whiners and race baiters. It's not very hard to see that they need racial tension as their base of power.

I'm not the one threatening to kill someone because they are white. I'm cool with everyone I meet. Just when I see things like this, man. Nvm

then I'm sure you're cool with ideas like the "glass ceiling", since it's not about killing someone.

My response as well. I am diametrically opposed to most things that Obama stands for, but at least I don't have to worry about what is going to come out of his mouth every time he gives a speech. Biden would probably have us getting attacked by Canada by the end of his first State of the Union Address.

Can't be any worse than what we have suffered through with Bush.

Just shows you how much race is a extreme factor in this country. The past 8 years the country has been run my the biggest moron in the white house. Before the black man is even elected he gets racist threats. Even if he could turn this country around for the better, it doesn't matter because he's black. So the young men in my community can't dream of being the president without thinking they will die for it.

I'm so pissed

Quit with your victim act. The young men in your community are as racist as any group in America, if not more.

I have always voted Republican, but if someone attempts to hurt the president-elect, I would be ashamed to call myself an American. Whether I agree with his politics or not, he won the election, and he deserves to be president. I wish him luck...The guy in Maine running the pool should be arrested for promoting an attempt on the president elect's life, or maybe for just being a total dumb ****. I am always amazed at the ignorance of some people. Perhaps, they should require some sort of IQ to reside in the U.S.....

Didn't mean to rant and rave, but these kind of people infuriate me.. I guess I have a bias against people without IQ's.

I agree 100%....God help us if someone makes an attempt on the Presidents life. It'll be riots from Boston to San Diego. Marshal Law will have to be instituted to keep order, keeping peace will be irrelevant. I didn't vote for Obama but he is now my and your President, we should support him all we can.

Kennedy and Lincoln being murdered and Reagan being shot really stopped white people from running for office.

Anybody who would wish physical harm to a president-elect should be rapidly escorted to a third world country. I don't care what your politcal affiliation is.

Won't be any third world countries left to escort them to once BO gets finished spreading the wealth around.

oh yes good one. Tell me, how familiar are you with Obama's foreign aid priorities? Because it is pretty low on the list. Don't worry, you don't have to reply and cover your tail!

The question, Sir, is how familiar are you with BHO's foreign aid priorities?
Fight Poverty: Obama and Joe Biden will double our annual investment in foreign assistance from $25 billion in 2008 to $50 billion by the end of his first term and make the Millennium Development Goals, which aim to cut extreme poverty in half by 2015, America's goals. They will fully fund debt cancellation for Heavily Indebted Poor Countries in order to provide sustainable debt relief and invest at least $50 billion by 2013 for the global fight against HIV/AIDS, including our fair share of the Global Fund.

if obama is snot or killed somehow, we are in for a very dark time in American history, racial tensions will be higher then they were in the 60s and you will see an outrageous amount of violent crimes pick up etc... i do not like obama in the slightest, however i wouldnt wanna see the man get shot.
