The future of global farming and food supply http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug
The limited potential for land expansion for cultivation%u2014only 17% of cultivable land produces 90% of the world''s food crops[30]%u2014worries Borlaug, who, in March 2005, stated that, "we will have to double the world food supply by 2050." With 85% of future growth in food production having to come from lands already in use, he recommends a multidisciplinary research focus to further increase yields, mainly through increased crop immunity to large-scale diseases, such as the rust fungus, which affects all cereals but rice. Besides increasing the worldwide food supply, Borlaug has repeatedly stated that taking steps to decrease the rate of population growth will also be necessary to prevent food shortages. In his Nobel Lecture of 1970, Borlaug stated, "Most people still fail to comprehend the magnitude and menace of the

by Muslim law (Sharia) because his biological and stepfather both are Muslim, he is considered a Muslim. He has publicly said he is a Christian. Thus he is a target to be executed by the so-called religious warriors of Islam.

Assassination is always a threat in America, especially when the Neocons dominance and the control of the USA by the Religious Reich is so threatened.

I expect the Secret Service is on top of it, despite the fear-mongering by this geriatric case.

What is this fear mongering . If we fear we lose . Gob Bless Barack Obama and keep him safe , But to fear is why we all are faced with the problems we are in the world today . The controlling interests need to back off in this time of world disparities .
there ar far greater issues at stake here over and above the simple dononation roll of world power . We are running out of Food , within the next 40 years , so attention must be taken to alter this course we are on , a course thats because of Natural Resource domination and these powers not willing to see alternatives developed to take pressure off the shortage of vital resources that we are running out of and at war over today like Oil , and soon food .

Well, this isn''t Great Britain in the 1700''s. There are two very valid reasons why she is stating this. One the KKK is alive and well unfortunately here in the US, two, regardless of your personal opinion, by Muslim law (Sharia) because his biological and stepfather both are Muslim, he is considered a Muslim. He has publicly said he is a Christian. Thus he is a target to be executed by the so-called religious warriors of Islam.
Oh have you forgotten, John F Kennedy was assasinated in 1963, with a high powered rifle. That is probably why Obama wants to eliminate guns across America.
Besides Ms. Lessing, at 88 years old has seen more and knows more than you probably have. After all considering the honor she has been awarded, she has traveled internationally.

There is a much better chance that McCain gets assassinated, if he chooses the con man Huckleberry as his VP. The neo-con Taliban Evangelical Jihad would get the job done in short order, to start their Red Neck Crusade.

Nobody shot King George so I don''t believe Obama will suffer such a fate.
