The Plot to Kill Obama :Updated 28 August
Note- This is a continuous article since Feb 2008 ,collecting all data points on plots against Mr Barack Obama. The Media sources are authentic, the scenario and what if analysis is fictional, and readers are expected to use OBJECTIVITY rather than passion to draw their conclusions.
Barack Obama’s Assasination would pave the way for either McCain or Hillary Clinton to the White House. Neither of them are expected to seriously damage corporate interests , they wont be clamping down on outsourcing American Jobs, they are less likely to cut rebates for wealthy, and less likely to avoid lobbyists from the gun and health pharma lobby. They are less likely to expedite the end of Iraq war, and the tens of billions spent every month that go from tax payers to major corporations is less likely to be threatened by Obama out of the way. So a few people would definitely make serious money if Barack Hussein Obama goes back to his Kenyan family graveyard.
COUNTERPOINT– Also if Obama gets elected , gets in a cowboyish Missile crisis
,loses a bay of Pigs due to morals ,appoints a brother as an attorney general , who is not charged or questioned before an actress died, but assumes a high moral ground (rather than political ambition) and goes out to investigate Mafia men who may be critical allies in a new cold war,he may end up in a Harvey Dent state funeral with people self justifying the extreme use of force.The last famous political dynasty (which won a very close election, and had a non mainstream religion called Catholism were the Kennedys.
All three Kennedy brothers had close escapes with death in the 1960’s , Ted had two (one in a plane crash which gave him a back injury) and the car crash on the bridge.The Other two brothers didnt quite make it.

THINK….What would likely happen if someone killed Obama.
The question is – is there a credible plot to kill Obama?
As per Feb’s NY times –
From the NYT Story DALLAS There is a hushed worry on the minds of many supporters of Senator Barack Obama, echoing in conversations from state to state, rally to rally: Will he be safe?
Representative Bennie Thompson, Democrat of Mississippi and chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, raised concerns in a letter in January to officials who oversee the Secret Service. While Mr. Obama was already receiving protection, Mr. Thompson said that the intense interest in the election prompted him to make sure that Mr. Obama and the other candidates were offered adequate security.
This means that there is a security threat perceived already.
As per Huffington Post- a recent Obama rally at Dallas had police complain about a security breach, when in order to speed up the queues forming they waved metal detection and frisking for people. And this at a Texas rally , where concealed weapons laws are the most liberal.http://www.star-telegram.com/667/story/486413.html
This means that hectic electioneering and Obama’s popularity , his strengths could be his fatal illness.
Obama seeks to take JFK’s legacy. We hope the corporate interests and interests controlling today’s Washington allow him the chance to do so. Except for the end of course.
Hopefully 2008 wont be like 1968
Update – July 3 2008- An officer guarding Obama’s Motorcade was injured in a collision when a van struck him.

Colorado Springs police Sgt. Scott Wisler said the driver of a van was cited for rear-ending the officer.

Updated An airplane chartered by the Obama campaign for a flight from Midway Airport in Chicago to Charlotte, N.C., made a precautionary landing in St. Louis instead on Monday morning, because of a mechanical problem that interfered with the pilots ability to control the planes pitch, according to Midwest Airlines, the operator.
Updated It was bad enough that Hillary thought assassinations happened in June. But John McCain who was furious that the press might endanger his son serving in Iraq by their coverage (which obeyed him while not doing the same for Prince Charles’s son Harry in Afghanistan)…well war hero John (who knows how to win wars…err who won Vietnam ?) just told all of Arabia that Obama is in Iraq on the weekend and so could you please get ready . Here is the report –http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080718/pl_nm/usa_politics_mccain_obama_dc_2

Updated -29 August
As per the attorney the chief characteristic was the meth……..not the big list..
U.S. Attorney Troy Eid (EYED) describes the men as “meth heads” who weren’t capable of such an attack.
The investigation was triggered after police in the Denver suburb of Aurora stopped a truck that was swerving erratically early Sunday. Police say they found two high-powered rifles, two wigs, camouflage clothing, a bulletproof vest and two walkie-talkies in the truck. They say they also found three IDs in other people’s names and what they believe to be methamphetamine.

Arrests in Plan to Kill Obama and Black Schoolchildren
Published: October 27, 2008
WASHINGTON Two young men who are believers in white power have been arrested and charged in Tennessee in what federal officials described as a plan to assassinate SenatorBarack Obamaand kill black children at a school.

Associated Press
Daniel Cowart of Bells, Tenn., was one of two men charged in what officials called a white supremacist assassination plot.
Federal officials said they regarded the scheme as serious. It does not appear to have moved to an advanced stage, according to court documents unsealed Monday, but officials said the two men did acquire several rifles and cased a home and a gun store to rob as part of the plan.
Federal officials said that both of the men who were arrested Paul Schlesselman, 18, of West Helena, Ark., and Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn. told interrogators that they had talked of assassinating Mr. Obama. Lawyers for the men could not be reached.
The two men planned to drive their vehicle as fast as they could toward Obama shooting at him from the windows, according to an affidavit filed in federal court in Jackson, Tenn., by an agent with theBureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Mr. Obama has no plans to be in Tennessee, and the affidavit does not make clear whether the men had picked a place for an attack.
The assassination was to be the culmination of a killing spree that would also single out children at an unnamed, predominately black school, federal officials said. The men talked of killing 88 people and beheading 14 African-Americans, according to the affidavit.
The two men each had very strong views about Aryan white power and skinhead ideology, the federal officials said, and the numbers 88 and 14 have special significance in the white power movement. The number 88 is shorthand for Heil,Hitler H is the eighth letter in the alphabet and 14 signifies a 14-word mantra among white supremacists: We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.
