Patrick Concerned About Obama’s Safety
by Aaron Margolis, August 28th, 2008 at 02:46pm
Governor Deval Patrick is concerned about the safety of his buddy, Barack Obama.
Gov. Deval Patrick, one of Barack Obama’s closest political allies, says he’s concerned for his friend’s safety in light of an alleged racially fueled threat to the presidential candidate but thinks race won’t be a major factor in the election.
“Of course,” Patrick said when asked if he was personally concerned about Obama. “It’s not so unlike my own election. Race is with us. But I think the American public is a lot further along than the media gives them credit.”
Responding to reports that three Colorado men were plotting to kill Obama because he’s black, Patrick said, “It’s not unfamiliar to me. But you just keep going.” The governor declined to elaborate or say if he’s been the target of any race-based threats here or at home.
Amid reports of the Democratic National Convention being a secure fortress, and Obama’s Secret Service protection, what does Patrick have to fear? Is this a genuine concern, or is this meant to drum up racial sympathy?

I share Gov. Patrick’s concern about Sen. Obama’s safety.
If the Democrat party wins the Presidential Election in November, Obama is going to be living in a country in which its security is in the hands of a naive moonbat who’s stated that his aim is to get rid of his country’s nuclear weapons.
