Political Poop '08

The Democratic National Convention has been going on for a few days now so I figured I’d post some of the keynote speeches.

Michelle Obama’s Speech:


Hilary Clinton’s Speech:


In Other Poop…

Two men were arrested this past Sunday in Colorado for a possible assassination attempt on presideantial hopeful Barack Obama. Tharin Gartrell was pulled over by police who found two rifles and meth in his car. He later led police to a hotel where Nathon Johnson was arrested. And a third man, Shawn Adolf, broke his ankle jumping from a hotel window to avade police. He was later taken into custody.
No definitive assassination plot was uncovered. But the men were found just miles away from where the Democratic National Convention is being held.
“This is a methamphetamine and firearms case that arose from a traffic stop made by an Aurora Police officer,” said Paul Bresson an FBI national spokesman assigned to the Convention. “Firearms and methamphetamine were seized and a number of individuals are in state custody. The matter continues to be under investigation. We’ll provide more information as it becomes available.”
The men are believed to have ties to a biker groups with connections to white supremacy groups."It's premature to say that it was a valid threat or that these folks have the ability to carry it out," said a US government official familiar with the investigation. A news conference is set for this afternoon. Source
If this was indeed a plot to kill Senator Obama, I’m sad to say it probably won’t be the first. There are a lot of people out there who are upset to see the possibility of a black man running the country. All I can hope is that any and all attempts are foiled.
