I Worry for Obama

[D.J. Cristo]

I hate to have the pessimist's viewpoint, but I have a really bad feeling about this. I'm glad that Obama won, but I think the poor man is going to be assassinated before he can even begin to make progress for America. America's come a long way in terms of race relations, but there are still so many citizens out there that simply cannot accept people of color. The ones who go as far as to use violence against the people they hate, in my opinion, are often the ones with the most preposterous motives for that hatred, though no motive is an acceptable one. That's what makes them so threatening, and therefor, an event such as assassination so likely. There just isn't any reasoning with some people. I have no doubt in my mind that there is at least one group out there that will do anything it takes to keep a black man from becoming president. I'm positive Obama is more than aware of this as well, and I must say that I admire his bravery and perseverence. He's truly a pioneer. I just hope that extremist idiots will not be able to halt this new era of progress before it begins, or ever, for that matter. Would anybody care to submit a similar opinion or perhaps object to this one?
