			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Barack Obama first won the Presidency, I was somewhat convinced that some looney right wing redneck racist was going to make a serious attempt to kill the President.   I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;s had plenty of death threats &#8211; but I am entirely convinced that the United States Secret Service know what they&#8217;re doing and have his safety well in hand.</p>
<p>There is another highly visible politician with far more of a chance of being physically murdered / assassinated.   Olympia Snowe is a moderate Republican Senator in the representing Maine, U.S.A.   Currently President Obama is trying to pass a healthcare reform bill that will give healthcare coverage to almost all Americans.   It&#8217;s expected to pass but as <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8304375.stm" target="_blank">the media is reporting Senator Olympia Snowe is a pivotal figure who can influence the entire healthcare reform bill President Obama wants passed</a>.<span id="more-1652"></span></p>
<p>Whilst the U.S Secret Service is almost certainly protecting her&#8230; it would be far easier for some   small group of healthcare executives pay a professional hitman to take her out by fraying her brake cables, or breaking a gas line in her house so it explodes when she turns on the lights, than it would to assassinate the President.   The healthcare industry stands to lose a lot of profit by government regulation of their industry.   How easy would it be for some greedy silly person at <a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2008/snapshots/3147.html" target="_blank">United Health Group</a> or <a href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune500/2008/snapshots/10186.html" target="_blank">Wellpoint</a> to recreate a scene similar to that in John Grisham&#8217;s book &#8216;The Pelican Brief&#8217;?   Very easy.   $100,000 is a tiny price to pay for an unscrupulous greedy silly person to be rid of someone they see as getting in their way!</p>
<p>I wonder if the U.S Secret Service has sophisticated word tracking on the internet&#8230; they might stand up and take notice at this post hahaha!   Fuck &#8211; I hope I don&#8217;t disappear if someone actually does what I outlined.</p>
