Re: Many blacks worry about Obama's safety
I had this conversation with a waitress in West Virginia just yesterday!
Many customers chimed in their opinions also.
The consensus was that Hillary as the first woman and Obama as the first black will each generate hatered among certain wackos if either becomes president. And I hadn't really thought of it, but there are some crazy folks out there! There are still men who look at me with distain cause they think I drive a truck. (I just ride along with husband). And I talk to women drivers who get static at certain docks and get put in back of everyone else. They say it doesn't happen often, but once would be enough for me!
And Hillary is so hated by a lot of folks.
But yes, Obama probably knows his life has been in danger since he started out with this. By now agents should be assigned to him. And I hope Washington does whatever is nessessary in that reguard.
Hopefully, for all the candidates, we are better prepared than when JFK and his wife road in an open car. And I don't think Marten Luther King was well protected. Or at least I don't know if he had FBI assigned to him. He should have under the circumstances. Because there were plots against his life
in virtually every town where it was known he would be. I'm sure of that.
God must have brought Obama thus far. As He surely must bring anyone who's ancestors came to this shore with nothing but anticipation.
To spite all the flack from different media, I think we have three of the nicest people running for office. They each think they can make a difference. I truly, truly believe that. They have different views about how to do things, but I don't think one of them is not blessed. And by that I mean they've been given the will and the power to run for office. If you think about it not one of the three left standing is a run of the mill presidential candidate.
McCain was a prisoner of war who didn't know he'd live to see another morning.
Hillary was a little girl when women didn't work unless their husband got hurt or died or was a drunkard.
Obama's mother married a black man at a time when she might have been murdered for that.
God bless and keep all three of them and the country.
