This site is all about self-improvement, self-empowerment, postive thinking and happiness. And I purposely do not watch the nightly news because it is usually filled with depressing news and tragedy.

I would LOVE for Obama to win this election. I think America is ready for a change. But shocking news  hit last night and rocked the world as it was revealed that  three men  were arrested over a reported plot to kill the US Democratic presidential candidate, Barack Obama,  and they have ties to the white supremacist group Aryan Nations.

It is said the group planned to shoot Mr Obama during his convention acceptance speech, to be delivered outdoors at a football stadium tomorrow night – the anniversary of Martin Luther King's famous "I have a dream" address. While federal agents are downplaying the plot as being of "no credible threat" to Mr Obama, the discovery of such a plan – and the way it was discovered – are certain to raise security concerns over the man who could be the next president of the United States.

I said this months ago.  I see hatred and discrimination everyday. It's sad but true. Is America ready for an African American President? And will his life be at risk??

How can people be filled with so much hatred?

How can you even think of  taking someone's life?

Scarey.
