Next week is the American election with presidential candidates John McCain, and Barack Obama.
John McCain is a Senior Senator of Arizona and his vice president would be Governor Sarah Palin. McCain tried to get the bid in 2000 but lost it to George W. Bush. He is running Republican party.
Barack Obama is a junior senator for the state of Illinois. If Obama wins this election, he will be the first African American to be president of the United States. Obama's vice president would be Joe Bide. He is the presidential nominee for the Democratic party.
I believe that if Obama becomes president, people will attempt assassination because look at former presidents like: John F. Kennedy, assassinated in Dallas, Texas. James Garfield, Abraham Lincolin, and William McKinley assassinated in Buffalo New York. Four U.S president have been assassinated, all of them had different ideas.
Barack Obama has spent 2.4 million dollars on a half an hour T.V. ad in between a football game.He has a estimated 30 million to use for advertising where as McCain doesn't have nearly as much.
Keep tuned in.

Equally as interesting, other significantleaders in American history who were black were also assassinated. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X.
ReplyDeleteI hope Mr. Obama is not another victim of a racist/ignorance hate crime. I suppose,people fear what they don't understand. Perhaps voters should spend less time watching Dancing With The Stars and more time researching the best candidate who represents their beliefs.
Very interesting post J.

If someone wants to attempt an assassination, they will. This will most likely be because they are unstable, and they will hopefully end up failing. Unstable people are more likely to not think things through, and are likely to make a mistake and get caught.
ReplyDeleteLuckily, any presidential candidate should be expecting such action, and therefore take precautions to avoid such a tragedy.
Also, most people should feel strongly enough to vote for whom they choose because that candidate represents their own beliefs, despite the associated risks. If people let fear rule their actions, I can't imagine what our world would look like.
