'They will kill Obama if he becomes US president': Outcry over Nobel Prize winner's assassination warning
By David Gardner - writing in The Mail:

British Nobel Prize winner Doris Lessing caused uproar last night by predicting the assassination of Barack Obama if he becomes the first black U.S. president.
The 88-year-old novelist's remarks came as the Democratic candidate toasted the most successful day in his White House campaign.
Mr Obama, the 46-year-old son of a black Kenyan man and a white American, dismissed Mrs Lessing's comments.
Miss Lessing said: "He would probably not last long, a black man in the position of president. They would kill him."
