Shame on you for thinking this way.
My wife actaully said to to me this morning "...well, it's not who I wanted to be in office, but maybe we should give him a shot!"
Then, it dawned on her how bad that sounded!

The 20th Amendment establishes the rules for situations regarding the beginning and ending of presidential terms. In the event that both the President elect and Vice President elect were to die, Congress is charged with the power to either select the new President elect, or to create a manner to select a new President elect. 
20th Amendment: Section 3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.

i know there is already a thread kinda like this so please dont dwell on this, but if Obama is assasinated i think that will be horrible for America. I predict it would start riots all over the country, and that is something we dont need. We've gone all this time trying to "fix" the racial problems in this country and that would set us back 100 years.
