Barak Obama's Assasination and the Boyott of US Goods

My worst nightmares were realized when I read the Times article online on the rise of hatred groups in the United States after Barak Obama became the United States next president. While the northern half of the United States may be well educated, the southern hemisphere of the United States is still backwards in education and thinking, and this reflects the rise of white supremacist groups in the South .

The first thing my wife mentioned to me when Barak Obama was elected as the next president was when will he be assassinated? Barak Obama is the best thing that has happened to the United States for a long time and our worry is that some American fool will assassinate him just because of the color of his skin. It will not be easy for Obama to change America especially the greedy Republicans but I hope Obama's the spark the whole world has been waiting for after George's Bush calamity rule of the United States. Despite making numerous blunders, President Bush still had the cheek to ask his staff to take control of the balance USD350 billion bailout fund still left . He is afraid his "cronies" wont be getting any of it once President-Elect Obama takes over.

In Malaysia, a boycott of US goods have been called. If this were to be done, it must be implemented for every US item, not pick and choose which item is wanted and which can be neglected. Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim was quoted as saying that boycotting all US goods was bad because some of them were owned by Muslims. I wonder if he meant that it would be okay to boycott US goods that were distributed by the Chinese and Indians but not the ones distributed by the Muslims. I hope not. For the boycott to work, all US goods must be rejected. But it is not something that can easily be done in this age and time as we're all interdependent on each other.
