I think what we are seeing now is the fact that America isn't as PC as we thought. Sure we know that some people are racist still, but I think we're actually starting to see a divide between the groups of people. Around here, and in Paq's neighborhood, there is a huge sentiment growing.. the black vote is out in force and the white vote is going to McCain. I'm almost fearful of what could happen if anyone actually did get to Obama. It would be a sad day, but I wonder what sort of retaliation could happen. That doesn't mean I'm scared of someone because of skin color.. I just know what could happen if the situation presented itself. Do I think it will happen.. no.. not really.
Colin Powell even admitted that he didn't want to run for office because of this risk. Do I think America is ready? no. Do I think America needs it? Absolutely.
Now as far as the OP goes, I was a bit shocked to begin with then as I watched the story unfold I couldn't believe how stupid these kids were. Seriously..100 people? Obama while wearing a tux? c'mon.. Steven Spielberg couldn't even have come up with something like that.
I just wonder if this is going to hurt Obama in the election. Will people be so scared of an assassination that they vote the other way?? I guess we'll have to see. I certainly hope this isn't the case.
