I have noticed an unhealthy fascination with the prospects of president-elect Obama amongst young people-and certain adults. I do not foresee an assassination. The two aforementioned would-be assassinations were not a serious threat.

 

no, whats unhealthy is the african-american prospect. OMFG its retarded. I had like 15 african american women and girls all jumping up and down about obama and his wife in the tabloids. I know its great to have the first person of your race in the white house but does anyone know if he will be a good president? no.

I understand why African-Americans are excited. It was only forty years ago that the nation experienced "bloody Sunday" and the Selma marches. Now, an African-American has been elected president.

 

Jackson, you have earned my respect for this comment.

QFT.

How well does the secret service really protect the president? For example, imagine the president is going to make a speech outdoors. Does the secret service check and protect every single window and roof from which a shot can be taken at the pulpit?

No doubt that security is taken into account when selecting locations for a speech, but how far do they really go?

 

My mom used to take care of this boy whose dad worked for the Secret Service. He told me he couldn't say everything they do, for obvious reasons, but that there are multiple teams set up to protect the president. They will scout an area, consider every possible point to hit the target, and station snipers and other personnel atop roofs and such.

And if Obama is coming to your town, the authorities will run a background check on potential *problems* and check on your planned whereabouts on the day, close off streets and possible put you under surveillance. That is from a friend who worked with Dems in the past.

Obama is arguably one of the best protected dignitaries in history.

And for the folks who think they'll get close enough to harm him - good luck. The SS guys are packing some intense heat.

I think that the threat that he faces is greatly exaggerated.
2 Reasons:
1. If he thought there was a good chance that he would die, he wouldn't have run.
2. He will have so much security it will be difficult to accomplish anyway.

i'm not sure racial profiling is a bad thing , it's a very utilitarian approach but then maybe a neccasery approach. if some members of racial group A are pretty much the only threat to individual x then why not asume that all of racial group A are potential threats , it's not very practical I admit but if individual X is of great importance then it may be a lesser of two evils ( the greater evil being allowing the death of the president) .

It's not even a matter of lesser of to evils. I don't think in the history of the world, a white woman has highjacked a plain, I doubt a white man has.

So, if you want to stop people from hijacking plains, you might want to limit your search to anyone that would.

If we focus solely on Arabic or African people, the terrorist groups will simply adapt. Will see more John Walker Lindhs or David Hicks.

 

Ok, so they adapt. Then we adapt. Until then, we would be wasting out time (I say would be, because we do profile).

Then we are profiling white, Arabic, and African people. We are in the same situation we are currently in. We need to train airport security and personnel to focus on behavior and not appearance. It is a more effective tool to prevent terrorism.

 

One of my sisters was stripsearched coming back from Latin America or South America because they thought she was a drug mule. She cried for days. She did some research and found out they searched her because most single black women don't go to Latin America by themselves unless they are running drugs.

I live in the north. People are more concerned with homosexuals than black people.

 

I thought the north was very "open minded" though?

 

For the most part, but people are more likely to get their asses beaten for being racist than for being homophobes. Trust me the second someone lets on they are racist everyone in the vicinity wants to punch them. Someone displays homophobia and they might get a couple of dirty looks at worst.

This is definitely true. Especially in where I live in Michigan (about 45 minutes outside of Detroit)
