Minister Farrakhan after a long time out of the public ear and eye has stated that President Obama is set up for assassination by a muslim. This statement is no more than a statement by another fanatic (albeit Black) who has a big dislike for the President more because of his skin color than any the fact that he is the President. It is still amazing to me that in (so called) modern times we the public have still  not gotten past the bluster and B.S. of left and right-wing crazies and semi crazies who do not understand that their opinion is not everyone elses and probably will never be. Our public allowances of freedom of speech  allows these kind of outspeaks to be aired at a level in line with the public status of the speaker. Our media airs and writes about what information they receive  (with as much collaboration as possible)  and it then becomes (in the eyes of the public), truth. When will we understand that all we read and see is not necessarily the whole story or even all true. I believe it is incumbent on all of us to get beyond the synopsized writing and live telenews the find the truth in what is presented.
