  • Barack Obama says:

    "Some are concerned about my safety. And I've got to remind them that I've got the best protection on earth. We're going to be alright. Don't fear on that"

    That's the assurance I needed. And I needed to hear it from your own mouth. Thank you Senator Obama.

  • Obama '08!

  • My God- and its 12:00 as I listen to this

  • obama is one of the sexiest men walking this planet earth =p

  • He did not have to worry about that because he does not fight for people like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did.

    Martin Luther King Jr. did not sell out his, but Barack H Obama sold out and not caring for the best interest of America but for himself and He sure is not fight for Jesus Christ as Martin did either.

  • what about Ru Paul

  • "I am 52 & I worry about what could happen."

    Well if you love GOd then why do you fear. You see one can't witness to somebody about the wonders of GOd and be in fear. It's like Americans stay in fear, fear of other ethnic and religous groups and I wonder why this country still remains divided.

  • I am 52 & I worry about what could happen.

  • think it's interesting the lawsuit against Obama , as not being a natural citizen, born in Hawaii, but actually born in Kenya

    could you imagine if all the Democrats were fooled, and there was proof of birth in Kenya? What a horrible mistake that would have been to nominate a person who doesn't qualify to be President according to the Constitution

  • I have been concerned about Senator Obama's (and his family's) safety recently due to the violent outbursts recently witnessed at McCain/Palin rallies. This interview was done some months earlier, so I would be interested in updates re: what is being done to ensure he is not another victim such as King, and the Kennedy brothers. Every time our country has witnessed a person who is the "real deal" some hot head(s) seem to want to shut that person up. We need to learn from this history.

  • I wonder why there are only 5 comments? Is PBS censoring these?
