I have a feeling that Obama is going to get assaninated, probably by the KKK (Klu Klux Klan) it wouldn't surprise me.

Well done Obama, no surprises that he won but he is going to have to work so hard and do a great job to get the country back on track, I just hope he is capable of it
I'm very disappointed that it wasn't close in the end because McCain really deserved more than he got

Looking to the future, I like the sound of Sarah Palin to become the 45th President of the United States
You must be crazy! She cost the GOP points in this election. She has never had her eye on being VP - she wanted the top job. She will go for it in 2012 - but my prediction is that she won't even clinch the ticket.

As for whether Obama is capable - well, time will tell. However, I certainly have more faith in him than McCain. See my earlier post though for my thoughts on McCain; he isn't a bad man - he just isn't the right man to lead the country.
Oh my god! The thought of Palin anywhere near the whitehouse is frightening!
The woman shouldnt even be allowed to wash the windows at the white house, she might louse that up as well.
shed probably buy Gucci overalls and an Armani shammy for the job!

I'm sure many would like to but these days the Presidents security is unpresedented. I'm sure someone somewhere will try but I very much doubt they'll succeed.

Ross your right, there probably is some people in America who hate the thought of a Black President, but I think the FBI etc will be onto anyone who is even thinking of assassinating Obama.

Actually it will be the Secret Service, who will most likely be dealing with this issue.

I did wonder, what happens from a constitutional position should the President elect die, before inauguration

I'm not really into politics and the like, but looking at and reading about Obama, I'm pretty sure this is a brilliant thing for the USA.

I agree!! I got an earful when i said this to my dad He told me to touch wood . My dad said he read what a woman from Texas said in an interview. I can't find the source sorry. Don't remember the site.

She said and i quote,

Sorry but wtf! Stupid cow!

Is anyone else sick of hearing 'The first black president.' Listen, i like Obama and when i heard his policies earlier i thought they were better than McCains and i would have suported Obama if i knew. But yeah he's black. Ok. Its should not just be about his colour! He's a great man, he's black but thats not all he is!

If it did happen, Biden would become the President. That is the process, and a new VP would have to be picked.

Aw, thanks Z

Regarding Obama being a target - it is something that has worried me. He is a brave man, as he surely knows that he will be a target, but it takes brave people to effect any kind of change.

I think the CIA and the FBI will be on their guard for a while, at least until he becomes President

I don't think his bigest risk is from American racists more like from extremist terrorists who would love to put America in a state of racist turmoil if he were to become a lethal target.

And the stories keep rolling in about Palin. McCain campaign managers are saying that she was vile to work with, she refused to be prepped for the Katie Couric interview (and it showed), and she didn't even realise that Africa was a continent. Dear God, help us when the goes for it in 2012.
