The election of 2009 and his inauguration on Jan 20, 2010 say otherwise.:tongue:

Really? Where? In Iran?
C'mon, Quintuple-L! Gore Vidal??? I said "rational". :1orglaugh
It is truly amazing how an educated person can be so stupid. How in God's name can you do such a thing and not expect someone to tell a parent who is going to be offended and call the Secret Service? I don't know if this person truly meant the President any harm or not, but he surely set a terrible example for his students. There are literally thousands of other word problems that can illustrate the point that he was trying to make about his triangulation. This was one that was better left unused.
Some of them won't forget to try and assasinate President Obama either :ak47:

Watch out there Odysseus....the Secret Service monitors this website and they have agents in the UK. :eek:
Me and MI5 have an understanding, they don't have enough men to take me down, or too many I forget which.

I don't think this is a big deal.
Whats would they fire him for, having bad taste?
Its not like he's condoning the assasination of the long legged mack daddy.
Its really a first amendment thing.
I have thought of what would happen if he got wacked, many of you probably have also.
And as a teacher I think its a good conversation topic.
I think if he did get wacked and it was a white guy who did the wacking the consequences would be very different to if it was a black.
I hope it doesnt happen, but just talking about it should not be punishable.
Hell were not in 16th century England are we.

Does anyone work and do anything worthwhile in Alabama? :dunno: What's Bama's contribution to the Republic?
I bet I have more change in my pocket than Bama's contribution...
Let's sell it! EBAY! EBAY! EBAY!:thumbsup:
Isn't there just a wee bit of difference between a private citizen/celebrity speaking extemporaneously and a teacher in a classroom!!
i see nothing wrong about what he did. he made no real threat, it was a hypothetical example while teaching geometry, something that is critically important in long distance shooting. i see it as a viable teaching tool, though he should have gone with say an animal on a hill or something.
i wrote about the assassination of a president when i was in high school, and no one went bonkers over it.

I am really starting to worry about you, pal. You think it's a good conversation topic (especially in a geometry class???) to speculate on the possible assassination of the president?
If you were teaching my kids and pulled this stunt, I'd demand your head on a platter along with a lot of other parents. And you are contemplating the possible difference in the legal process (or, if not, what then?) if Obama were to be assassinated by a black man instead of a white man? That's whacko shit, dude. What if he was Hispanic or Asian? Why think about stuff like that at all? :dunno: First amendment? I guess the next time I go through security at the airport and joke about having a bomb that would be OK with you as well? There are certain subjects that, in settings like these, are simply intolerable. If you want to joke about stuff like this with your like-minded buds over some beers, that's once thing (still extremely bad taste as you suggested) but to do it in a classroom setting with impressionable teenagers is going way over the line.
I agree with you that, unless they find some substance behind the guy's bluster, he shouldn't go to jail (lose his job perhaps but not be prosecuted). But to attempt to defend or justify what he did is nothing short of abominable....and I'd say exactly the same thing to you if it were a sitting republican president that was the object of his lunacy.
Yeah dude whatever. The twinks at Daily Kos and other so called "news" wanted not only Bush to get it but Cheney. I'm quite sure classes at Berkeley and Harvard had "Let's Pretend You have a gun and the Pwesident GDub is Coming"
Im sure is a even a fly buzzes near Obama the leftists go nutzoid and claim it's new UAV controlled by the "Neocons" trying to scope out Otrauma.
