"Palermo does know RFK was killed by a Palestinian radical "
It's interesting that most of the 1960s high profile assassinations in the US were carried by left wing ideologues. I suspect that's why there are so many conspiracy theories surrounding the killings of JFK, RFK & MLK. If they had actually been killed by right wing fanatics there would be no need to fantasise about the CIA or the Mafia doing it.
James Earl Ray was hardly a left winger, nor for that matter was Lee Oswald. It looks like both of them hung out with, if anything, anarchists.
Damian, I've posted a few pieces on the race thing.
The most recent polls suggest that more Americans would be willing to vote for a black man than a woman.
I sometimes think that Obama had better watch his back. People who can (could) do harm the HRC have a strange habit of winding up face down in a park.

Ray was not; Oswald most certainly was.
Hey Real... that'd be one freakin' huge tatoo.

I forsee reparations discussions.
Unfortunately it seems it is possible for a determined individual to kill a high-level leader.
I myself think America's enemies would prefer to have a leader who is inexperienced and possibly weak and naive to a tested individual. However there are obviously people who would like to see America portrayed as racist and stir up old racial tensions and of course there are out and out racists.
"I forsee reparations discussions."
Why, his father was Kenyan.
John,
That completely misses the point. Reparations are about perceived group grievances. The fact Obama had no slave ancestors in the U.S. doesn't mean someone whose ancestors arrived in the U.S. after 1865 shouldn't pay reparations. This is politics.
Bruce: I was assuming that because Obama is partly African, the reparations issue would include him (and I also assume the original comment was at least partly in jest).
