God forbid Obama gets shot at. These jokes will not sound nearly so funny.

I don't want the man to be President. But neither do I want him getting shot at, even "in fun".

I hear ya.

I loved that Hillary made a gaffe... but this one never tickled my funny bone.
Some things just shouldn’t be joked about, IMO.

Gods be kind, we will not have to deal with President Obama. As my handle suggests, I live amongst the scuffling class. Down here, the fear of assassination is very real.

Hillary’s “mispoke” aside, I was at my grandparents lake cottage when the Calfornia vote was being declared, had my young political junkie butt not been there we’d have been fishing...well anyway there we were. Grandma had no sooner said, flippantly, “Well maybe sombody will shoot the SOB”, than it happened.

She passed away at age 96, I think until that day she felt a little guilty for RFK’s death. Talk about my tagline being appropriate...

"And now we have what some are reading as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama, uh Obama. Well, both, if we could." She laughed.

But that's the thing - it wasn't fun, it was embarrassment over the "Osama, uh Obama" gaffe that Trotta made.

It wasn't premeditated, or anything close to it.

Of course, everyone is P.C. to the max when discussing a woman vs. black election . . .
