Dead Pre-Presidents

As a long-time observer of US presidential races, I must say that I've never heard of such unabashed ill-wishing directed at a presidential candidate, Barak Obama, than we have heard in recent days. Well, not exactly ill-wishing, it's more like journalists (Ms. Trotta) and other presidential hopefuls (Mrs. Clinton) speculating about Mr. Obama's violent demise. It's even more troubling because they are sincere about it and they are women!
