Barack
Obama's security risk was officially upgraded today.
Obama's
security will, from now on, be protecting the Democratic
presidential candidate from threats of assassination and
not murder, the clearest sign yet that he is to be the official
Democratic candidate in the 2008 US presidential elections.
Hillary
Clinton remains at risk of assassination and not murder
now only due to the fact that she is married to a US president.
This
is said to be good news for Barack Obama who only four months
ago would only have been murdered had he been shot dead.
Our
panel of experts give us their views:

"This
is an historic moment. For the first time we have
a black presidential candidate who can be officially
assassinated."

Jerry
Sprinkler, Radio Talk Show Host

|
"Now
American Idol is finished I might start to take
notice of the presidential elections. Who's on?"

Hug
Tharsden, Bodybuilder

|
"What
self respecting assassin would want to shoot dead
a black presidential candidate when there is a perfectly
good white boy to aim at in the White House at the
moment?"

Jenny
Smith, Financial Ombudsman

"Oh!
God! Just when you thought there couldn't be any
more about the elections on the television a candidate
gets shot. Do you know what a thing like that would
do to the television schedules? I shudder to think."

Hutch, Organic Farmer

"If
he gets killed does that mean Hillary Clinton takes
over or do we have to have another Democrat candidate
election?"
