Geek…dude…there was a REASON why I left him off of those emails when I told you guys about my typical day.

What’s next? Are you going to tell him that I am really his baby’s daddy? Is nothing sacred between us?

But isn’t there a difference between the “lone nutter” theory and the prevalent idea that “they” will have him killed.

I think this conflates legitimate concern about the crazy individual with conspiratorial paranoia that “they” can’t afford a black president. (Unless, of course, “they” already own him, which is the opposite conspiratorial nutcase theory.)

It’s not really fair, though… Smitty takes a cab to your house in the middle of the day all the time.

I am shocked that you were surprised that Castle did what was minimally required for public access. A friend is an above-the-knee amputee and with the changes in RB parking, which eliminated more than a few handicap parking spaces downtown it’s very difficult for her to enjoy downtown in season.

Now to your surprise regarding assassination attempts on Barak, I offer this from a screen cap from a site owned by a guy named Turner in NJ.

Below a photo of Barak in Africa in his native country garb it reads:
“IS THIS THE TYPE OF GUY YOU WANT RUNNING AMERICA? I DON’T.
In fact, I’m starting to come to the realization that it may be up to a sole person, acting alone, to make certain this guy is never allowed to hold the most powerful office in the world. Sorry it may have to be that way, but it may.”

This was captured about three months ago before he took it down after receiving negative comments.

DV, I would hope that we all know that this is out there. Yes, and right here in the state.

btw, I have the screen capture graphic, if you want to see it, just let me know.

I hear that sentiment about Obama’s safety from older relatives and friends pretty frequently. One of my Great Aunts’ decided it was time to get a computer just to be able to check on him.

I am guessing that 5-mile cab ride was about $35.

I was seriously concerned about the three A & F guys in Indiana. They were behaving so erratically that I was afraid that they had bad intentions…

Early in the campaign I saw an interview with several black women in South Carolina. They were seriously concerned that Obama would be a target and were thinking about not voting for him because of that. They wanted to protect him.

I know I watch the Secret Service people when ever Obama works a rope line just because I am nervous. We know that it only takes one nutter who is determined.

DV I think this is something that has crossed the mind of every black person in America and a few of us white people too.
