ImWithStupid Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I have never before wanted a natural disaster or terrorist attack. Gates to sit out Obama inauguration WASHINGTON (AFP) – US Defense Secretary Robert Gates will sit out Barack Obama's inauguration at an undisclosed location as the "designated successor" in the event of a catastrophe, the White House announced Monday. While the eyes of the world are glued Tuesday to Obama's historic swearing-in, attended by outgoing US President George W. Bush and both outgoing and incoming senior aides, Gates will stay away, said spokeswoman Dana Perino. "In order to ensure continuity of government, Defense Secretary Robert Gates has been designated by the outgoing administration, with the concurrence of the incoming administration, to serve as the designated successor during Inauguration Day, Tuesday, January 20th," Perino said. It is common practice for one senior US official to sit out major events, like the annual State of the Union speech, to ensure that the US government has clear leadership in the event of a disaster or terrorist attack Gates to sit out Obama inauguration - Yahoo!

snafu Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I was watching Obama starting trip to the White House in Philadelphia and I know this seems morbid but I kept thinking of Bobby Kennedy and waiting for the gun shot to ring out. I know security is tight but in this day and age of technology there are many other ways for someone to kill someone. And it would be a terrorist wet dream to take out both President and the elect President at the same time. It's a real scary thought but if something were to happen like that I think it would only strengthen or resolve and unite us to fight against our enemies that are out there.

Ahhlee Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Sadly, an attack would most likely be from a fellow countryman than a plot devised on foreign soil. I hope nothing happens. I think it would be a tragic loss. I may not be on board with all of Obama's policies, but he is still my President. Quote

ImWithStupid Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 It really isn't nice to continue playing on my emotions like this... Kennedy and Byrd collapse at inaugural luncheon in Washington By Lauren King The Virginian-Pilot ? January 20, 2009 Sens. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., and Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., have been taken from an inauguration luncheon for President Barack Obama this afternoon. A Capitol police officer stood up at the luncheon and said medical attention was needed, the Associated Press reported. An ambulance arrived at the Capitol a few minutes ago and Kennedy has since been wheeled out on a stretcher, according to the Associated Press. Quote

phreakwars Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 If Obama were attacked, there would be rioting in the streets of every major city by blacks. Their target would be every redneck backwoods racist bastard they could find... and several common folk as well. I also agree if he were attacked it would be a domestic attack, not foreign . .

Aren't only half of the blacks allowed to be outraged? As a white man, I will forego my half of the upsettedness so someone else can be upset about it. Quote I'm trusted by more women.
