It is never o.k. to even joke about the assassination of an elected official,
but ESPECIALLY the President.
The Secret Service does NOT have a sense of humor about such jokes, and they must treat all such things as though they are a threat.
I knew a kid in Jr High, wrote a letter (yes WROTE) to President Reagan threatening him.
Within 24 hrs of recieving that letter, the Sec service, the County Sheriff, and the local PD were at his house.... He was 13, and in California CLEAR ACROSS THE COUNTRY from the White House
He was put on a watch list, and ordered NEVER to be within 1 mile of President Reagan.
Reagan is now dead, and that kid (if still alive) is in his 40s like me, but I will bet you that the Sec Service still has a file on him, and they still know he bought a plane ticket to D.C. before he's even boarded the plane.
And before anyone starts harping about his 1st Amendment rights.
Such things are NOT covered by the 1st Amendment.
They are against the law.
Billionaire's Teen Son: "Kill Obama. Hahaha": Is it ever OK to joke about killing Obama?

"Socialism is about government control. It doesn’t have to be a direct takeover. Government can bail out Wall Street, banks, mortgage providers like Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac, insurance giants like AIG, and automakers like GM & Chrysler."
Communism:
A theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, with actual ownership ascribed to the community or state.
Socialism:
A theory or system of social organization based on the holding of most property in common, with actual ownership ascribed to the workers
Communism hasn't killed anyone. Stalin, and his ilk killed people. Stalin was a totalitarian, and a tyrant, and came in on a revolution which ended a prior totalitarian autocratic government. Until the USSR collapsed, Russia never saw a true democratic government. The US, however, has a long standing history of democracy, which will not vanish should it adopt socialism, just like the totalitarianism of imperial Russia didn't vanish when it adopted socialism.
All of this is painfully irrelevant, however, as Obama is neither a socialist, nor a communist.
If it's disconnected from totalitarianism, and is connected to a constitutional, bill of rights, representational democracy? He gets his day on the soap box, but has to live with the decision the majority makes.
... if it were say leaders like Stalin, Hitler, Mao someone was wishing death upon, then I may understand it....
