yes

I think it would yes. But to be honest I think no matter what president gets assassinated while in office. However I think if Obama were to be assassinated there will be a huge disruption in this country that may set us back 200 years.

One insane act by one private citizen can't make a whole nation look bad. Now ELECTING Obama -- that will make America look terrible.

Or Senators McCain or Biden, or even Governor Palin. If asked about one, one should consider the rest as well. Hard to believe, but Senator Obama shouldn't expect nor be granted any special privliges.

Yes I do. It would be a horrible turn of events.

I'm trying to think of how we as a nation feel when a leader of some other country is assasinated. I don't think it should be a reflection or an indictment of an entire country due to the acts of a few radicals. On a slightly different subject, I do believe that our enemy leaders are praying for an Obama presidency. He dosen't exactly instill fear or respect from our foes.

It wouldnt make America look terrible, its not like the country conspired against him.

No, but It would help the media to turn away from events in Iraq. There have been so many claims of people wanting him dead, he being black I'm sure there is someone planning. He is a good man and I don't want him to die. But I have a feeling he will, hopefully I'm wrong.

Hmmmm...do you know something that we don't? I definitely think it would look terrible, and I would hope nothing like that happens.

I think anytime one of our Presidents gets assassinated it looks bad on our country and our culture. But, I also think that if Obama were to get assassinated that the "race" issue would be brought up; if the shooter was white. I believe that people would focus on that more than anything, unfortunately.

America already looks terrible in the eyes of the world. Some nutjob wacko who doesn't want Obama as president can certainly work on changing that. We shall need much luck and grace to get us through this. The hatred that some feel is palpable. The racists ads are already running. I do believe that God is weeping. Good people, great people are sometimes a threat to the mob..the mob likes mediocrity and someone like them. The mob doesn't have a moral code, sense of fair play, or conscience. The mob has a goal, focuses on it and that's all that counts. The mob has no brain, no heart, no soul. :(

not as a whole. it may look bad for where the shooter is from. will you answer mine?http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/4230495

Please read the following excerpt from an article I found on line. I have 2 points: 1) When the Iraq war was up for vote in Washington, a number of Democrats voted for the invasion, including Hillary Clinton. 2) To allow the kind of evil described below to continue, or go unpunished would be a crime in itself. A basic human reaction when one witnesses wrongdoing is to do something to end it if at all possible. BE WARNED, PARTS OF THIS ARE VERY GRAPHIC. by Khaled Salih Gvteborgs UniversitetAnnihilation The method of executing the Kurdish men by firing squads is, according to the MEW, 'uncannily reminiscent of another', that of the Einsatzkommandos, or mobile killing units, in Eastern Europe occupied by the Nazis. "Some groups of prisoners were lined up, shot from the front and dragged into pre-dug mass graves; others were shoved roughly into trenches and machine gunned where they stood; others were made to lie down in pairs, sardine-style, next to mouths of fresh corpses, before being killed; others were tied together, made to stand on the lip of the pit, and shot in the back so that they would fall forward into it - a method that was presumably more efficient from the point of view of the killers. Bulldozers then pushed earth or sand loosely over the heaps of corpses. Some of the gravesites contained dozens of separate pits, and obviously contained the bodies of thousands of victims. Circumstantial evidence suggests that the executioners were uniformed members of the Ba'th Party, or perhaps of Iraq's General Security Directorate (Amn)." Rigid bureaucratic norms were governing this annihilation process. Those who were executed were not murdered because they were condemned for committing a specific crime; rather their only crime was to be born in a place declared by a central government as 'prohibited,' that is to say, Kurds in areas outside government control. The locations of at least three mass gravesites have been pinpointed through the testimony of survivors. Ramadi, al-Hadar and Samawah. (see map) Genocide in Iraq quotes Raul Hilberg saying, 'There are not so many ways in which a modern society can, in short order, kill a large number of people living in its midst. This is an efficiency problem of the greatest dimensions...' The captured Iraqi documents demonstrate 'in astonishing breadth and detail how the Iraqi state bureaucracy organised the Kurdish genocide.'
