Nah. If anything happens it would be the work of CIA and all the war-mongers, who wants USA to be at perpetual war. Much like other times CIA done that with JFK and RFK...

Brinkley's comments about Hillary's apparent state of mind are really important. They are sensitive to her "meltdown" but show how far from the "best side of her nature" she has come with this campaign. I'm hardly the first to note this, but she has been very badly advised in this campaign -- but she is ultimately responsible for it.

Imagine if this bitch had a meltdown as president with her finger on the button of our Nuclear arsenal.

Maybe her and a few of her cronies have something planned. Personally I think she let the cat out of the bag. Bush and the rebublicans can't come back for the next 12 years after rigging the past two elections. America be on the look out this bitch has something up her sleeve.

Have a coke and a smile and shut the fuck up.

I think the F.B.I. & C.I.A. should be looking into B.O.'s backround seeing the type of company he keeps! William Ayers(terrorist) and Rev.Wrong who was his mentor for 20 yrs.

What the FBI or CIA don't find you can bet the Republican's will! The truth shall reign!

It is well known that the views of HRC has been distorted to make her look bad and BO comes up shinning. This man is paranoid and sick! Robert Kennedy Jr. knows that HRC was using that as a time line.

Can anyone tell us what BO is talking about when he says change? Anything is change after 7 years of the Bush administration! All we hear is change and not how he plans on changing our government.

Yeah if Obama got assassinated I would be highly suspicious of both the current administration AND the Clinton machine... what's another body to add to the count right HRC?

[littledogs1]

Hillary is done, she uses fuzzy math and a state where hers was the only name on the ballot to push her cause, now we know she is hoping some peice of shit will kill Barack. The powers that be in the DNC should tell her to pack her bags and go home.

I don't know what u r thinking she said this before in march. I was joking with my co-workers, and I said Hillary is staying because she is going to kill Obama lol. But now I think the F.B.I. & C.I.A. should look into Hillary. And if anything happends to Obama she should be the first SUSPECT.

This assaniation remark has been blown out of proportion. I don't think much if Hillary, but this seems like nonsense and fake outrage.
