Obama's future

I was sorry to hear that some fool made a remark about killing Obama should he be elected president and a little bit disturbed to find that such a topic was a popular search term and even predicted by a major cultural figure. What bothers me the most is that in the past several months I've heard 3 different African American students on 3 different occasions say that they expect Obama to not survive his first term. These students should be proud that someone is coming so close to such an office but instead they are expecting his doom. Such is the legacy of slavery, at least according to one historian.
