Feds Foil Assassination Plot Against Barack Obama

October 28, 2008

 This is the second assassination plot against Barack Obama that has been thwarted. Unlike the first one, which I wrote about here, this one appears to have been a viable threat. The details of these two men’s plans are disturbing to say the least.

 The men planned on going on a killing spree culminating in the assassination attempt. Both men knew they would probably never succeed with the assassination, but the idea that someone could plot to kill or decapitate 88 people culminating with the assassination of a presidential candidate just because of the color of their skin, I can’t get my arms around that. How many people would these men have killed if this plot was not uncovered?

 Sometimes I feel as though society is unraveling in front of my eyes, and this just re-enforces that opinion. Where have morals gone, where is the sense of right and wrong in this country? Where has the value for human life gone? What could drive someone to this type of thought? I can’t even understand the thought, never-mind actually carrying out such a sick plan.

 Those are some of the questions that go through my mind when I read a story like this one.  How many people are there out there like this that devalue life so much that the only way they feel they can get the attention that they deserve is to plot something like this? We see it from time to time, we saw it at Virginia Tech and at the Amish school in Pennsylvania. But every time we see it I ask the same questions.

 Today I should be happy that this plan was stopped before anyone got hurt, and I am. But I can’t stop asking myself two more questions. When will the next sick plan unfold, and will we be able to stop it in time?

    Mrtin Luther King, John F Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and now Barack Obama. This American Society has a lot of responsbility to behave unlike the terrorists of the September 11. Security has to be tight for the sake of American integrity and leadership of the world. Where shall we run to if one of the most civilised nation has assassins running amock with thirst to kill future leaders? Save America to save decaying nations.

    Those third world countrys have nothing on us. That is the way they react during elections. Not supposed to be happening here in the US.

    As a 40 year old white working man with a wife and 4 kids, I can only pray to god people give this man a fighting chance. there is no way anyone will ever make me believe that a man’s decision making skills and the ability to run a company, or a country can possibly be hendered by the colour of his skin………aside from protecting ones self or family, no one and I mean NO ONE including government has the right to take someones life…..especially just because they dont like the colour if his skin, thats bullshit and it pisses me off. if he turns out to be a good man and a good leader with ” THE PEOPLES ” interests in mind and does the best job he can do to take care of those needs and interests, I would take a bullet for him if need be………really pisses me off…sorry
