Obama assassination bid fears - aircraft carriers on standby off Irish coast during G8 summit
@Press Eye Ltd Northern Ireland - 17th June 2013 - Mandatory Credit - Brian Little/ Presseye --- Culture Minister Carl N Chuiln and Minister for Education, John O'Dowd MLA waiting for US President Barack Obama during his visit to the Waterfront Hall, Belfast ahead of the G8 Summit in County Fermanagh.

It is understood that a contingency plan is in place for the unlikely event that an attempt would be made on the Presidents life.
The Secret Service also have diplomatic immunity which will allow them to shoot to kill a would-be assassin without fear of prosecution.
As part of the evacuation route plan, they would be able to spirit the President by chopper to one of the carriers where a jet is on standby to take him back to the United States.
A source said: It sounds like James Bond stuff but the Americans treat the personal protection of their President with the utmost seriousness.
They have plans in place for all possible incidents, despite how unlikely they might seem or how much security is already in place.....

Who the heck would waste time and effort assassinating him? He's just not worth going to jail for. May he and his family live well and happy and never suffer a man made disaster.

Two. USS Truman and USS GHW Bush aircraft carriers are both near Ireland.
Have you ever looked at a globe or the map of the Atlantic?
You might notice that "WESTLANT" is not near Ireland.
Of course, we had 100 people go into jokes and rants without considering the possibility that the original article is wrong.

“Not even his greatest detractor in the US would wish harm on Bammy! No one wants to make a martyr of him, the worst anyone wishes is for the American people to learn the truth!”
His so-called friends might wish him harm. No more scandals. He may be more useful as a martyr than a lame duck. If he’s gone, there’s less incentive to learn the truth.

"The Dems would give a special sainthood to him." I'm guessing he'd get a spot on Mt. Rushmore. And he'd consider it a fair trade.

"You've grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that's at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. They warn that tyranny is always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices."

Are you saying that because A) Biden is next in command; or B) because you’re afraid of his spying Gestapo reading everything we write?

So it appears the media is going to wait until Obama is almost out of office (or out of office) before their curiosity leads them to question the state approved story of his origins...

What does he have to fear that he would need an aircraft carrier to protect him? It makes no sense. If someone tries to assassinate him, what can an aircraft carrier do? Why does he need to go to an aircraft carrier so he can jet back to the US?
Geez, it sounds like they are worried about Godzilla coming out of the sea.

Well, the Irish won’t bother him, since he’s no friend of England.
