What makes the secret service so pro? Like how do they make sure there's not some dude with a gun at these rallies with 100,000 for Obama? Like, you think assassinating someone if you put a lot of thought into it would be pretty easy. I'm really ignorant and newb at the process of assassination though obviously. | ||

Well, Secret service agents spend about half the year working and the other half training military style, so they are the cream of the crop in that respect. Idk, they just learn to read people and respond quickly with excess force if something looks like it is about to go down. | ||

My g/f and I just finally put out our Barack Obama sign about half an hour ago as well. The part of Georgia I live in has many people very pro-McCain with a very conservative moral belief, and as we just started living together (unmarried) over a month ago, I didn't want to cause us unneeded headaches with the neighbors. However........ a bunch of republicans stole or destroyed most of the few Obama signs in town today and I just can't do nothing when others are playing dirty.

I'm really ignorant and newb at the process of assassination though obviously. Reading a Tom clancy or similar book is probably the best response to this. More specifically, they can do some easy things, like make sure all of the rooftops in the area are covered, make sure the podium is bulletproof, make sure obama is sitting in the second row/ in a more sheltered location, etc. They can also do some of the harder things, like make sure that everyone in a stadium who gets to see obama goes through a metal detector, and make sure that some crazy people don't try to blow up the whole stadium (bomb sniffing dogs and the like). | ||

I'm guessing it's the second... BTW.. have all you dumb McCain supporters realized that basically the entire rest of the world (at least 90%) is dying for us to vote in Obama to save the global economy?? We will be a laughingstock if we vote in McCain. No.. you guys are still right though... the entire rest of the world is a bunch of retards just like the left ... lol.

I dont like the idea of another republican getting the White House. I'm curious... how is McCain better for Columbia? Actually, a question to all non-Americans, why do you want 1 candidate or the other to win? | ||

Both the Democrats and the Republicans would be considered far right in most other countries. Since Obama is to the left of McCain his policies are closer to those of the rest of the world. | ||
