I saw this on GMA this morning ... those guys looked like real bad dudes worse than any movie bad guys I have seen.

Looks that way. It almost seems these attempts are expected on Obama. Then again, the same is thought with anyone previous to Obama. Is it possible Obama has more chance of attempts happening? I believe so. I think Obama will have double time on body guards and security. He refused it a while back but then it was forced on him. He needs security.

Yea, and the thing is, when a democrat president is assassinated there is no backlash. When Kennedy was shot next up were Johnson and Nixon, both pro-war and the war in Vietnam took off. When Reagan was shot he got re-elected and went ahead with Iran-gate etc.

Yes, all Rebublicans are EVIL to the bone, they want war and destruction to the world.

I love the smell of Napalm in the morning....:dead:

There have been more attempts on Republican Presidents and candidates than Democrats in modern times (1900-2008).

That said, the news is reporting that this threat was in fact not credible (ie: he might have talked about it, but had no way to execute the attack planned out).

Don't forget, they are all bullet-proof, too:p

They just got lost finding the US/Mexico border... Bah... tourists... :shifty:

Secret Service bodyguard.....That is one job I wouldn't want in this day and age :nope:

Me either, i would probably panic and shoot myself in the foot! :rotfl:

Erm Johnson was a Democrat and it is he, not Nixon, expanded the war in Vietnam. Nixon spent the next 6 years trying to first actually accomplish something and then disengage from that war. "Peace with Honor" was the buzz phrase iirc.

Yes I know he was a democrat. In hindsight he didn't really seem like a smart one though, the whole mess was probably why he didn't seek re-election.

Is this another Democrat theater? Snipers in Bosnia, now this? Give me a break already.

So we can agree then that Vietnam was a Democrat boondoggle that cost the lives of 10 times as many Americans as the GoP war in Iraq?
