Hmmm, not too surprised by that information. Hopefully that doesn't discourage him and he removes himself from the runnings.

Quite frankly, if I was in Obama's shoes, I'd be more encouraged (rather than discouraged) to run. I'd be damned if I were to let some insignificant threat/jerk stop me from running for the most important job in America!

Nah, it surely won't, Ali. He is too much in the spotlight to be discouraged and opt out of running.

He's raised a lot of money. It's like saying: "Why quit while you are ahead?"
