The Force is With Me
Although Hillary Clinton's contrived and calculated mention of assassination spoke to a real concern for Obama supporters and his family, the truth of the concern is that threat does not come from someone named Muhammed or Akbar, or from somepne who worships Allah .. it comes from someone who might be named Bob or David, and someone who worships God.
Many African-Americans were hesitant to support him in the beginning because they felt it would only get him killed .. by someone named Bob. That concern is real because we've had hundreds of years of "Bob's" brand of terrorism.
But it isn't just Obama's race that makes him a threat .. it's also what he represents. He's a threat to the plutocracy, a threat to the corporations that control this country. He's a threat to the moneychangers, the military/industrial complex, the prison/industrial complex and the crimnal injustice system that feeds it. He's a threat to the profiteers of war and a foreign policy rooted in "American exceptionalism."
What Obama represents will historical be viewed as an American revolution against the plutocracy. That's where his historically record amounts of money comes from .. those who rage against the machine.
But that's good news, and that recognition gives hope Bob won't get to him. There are far more than just black people, his wife and two children, concerned about his safety.
How did a first-term senator rise so quickly to such a place in history and how did he defeat one of the most powerful political families in America in doing so? It's because he represents a movement that rages against the machine .. and they will try to protect him .. from Bob.
