Can you belive this about Obama?

I read in the paper today that the top 2 national betting agencies WILL NOT pay people their money (for those who accurately bet on an Obama win) because they believe he will be inated before Jan 20. I was so saddened by reading this, that people actually believe this and I hate to think what would happen if it did happen. I am sure that even if you didn't vote for Obama the thought of someone getting killed because of their race and political persuasion is sickening. What do you think?
