Below is an exert taken from today's London Times

US police are investigating whether they have foiled an assassination plot against Barack Obama after four people were arrested near the Democratic convention in Denver in the possession of high powered rifles.

One of the suspects told police they were "going to shoot Obama from a high vantage point using a ... rifle ... sighted at 750 yards," Denver television station CDS4 is reporting. Police have told the television station that one of the suspects "was directly asked if they had come to Denver to kill Obama. He responded in the affirmative."

The suspects were arrested on Sunday when local police arrested a man , identified by the television station as Tharin Gartrell, 28, who was driving a rented pickup truck erratically. CDS4 is reprrting that in his truck police found two high powered rifles with telescopic sites, as well as camouflage clothing, walkie-talkies, a bulletproof vest, a high powered spotting scope, licences in the names of various people, and the drug methamphetamine. One of the rifles is listed as stolen from Kansas.

I'm certain that many Kenyans would be ready to defend Obama, but Obama is not running for President of Kenya. Some of us wish he was. We do not want him here.

I'm glad that they got caught. In the case of this event, ever transpired, just get ready for the biggest, costly and deadliest United States, ever recorded Civil Revolt.

In the 60's over 30 US cities, had massive revolts, civil disturbance in the billions of US Dollars, due to the death and murder of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King.

During the investigation and incident of the police beating of Rodney King in the 90's, The great state of California did face the same civil circumstances.

I don't agree at all with the murdering of an ELECTED PRESIDENT as a solution to our nations problems.

We Americans, might as well go back to the stone age, If we can't live together under one flag, one constitution and one government.

One civil war is enough.

Maybe he could use his Half brother for that, seeing as he seems to need a job.....

He is one of your countrymen as well as mine. We need to get some tough Kenyans to guard him 24/7.

Just call me Tigasin. That's what I'm talking about

I've said it before and I'll say it again, he won't last 2 years in office before someone shoots him.

The scaremongering and PR exercises have begun. Both parties will want to be in the nres now, so all sorts of stories will fly around.

I doubt whether Obama has a higher chance of getting assassinated than any other presidential candidate before him..
