"It's not done very often," said spokeswoman Lorna Carmichael. "It has to be a very special occasion. We only do it after very dramatic news, like the 9/11 attacks or the London transport bombings, things like that."



I'm surprised they didn't word this a different way. It's just a guess, but I doubt they intentionally wanted to equate Obama being elected president with 9/11 and the London bombings. I could be wrong though.



How about these quotes from this story?

Quote:

Potok, who is white, said he believes there is "a large subset of white people in this country who feel that they are losing everything they know, that the country their forefathers built has somehow been stolen from them."
Grant Griffin, a 46-year-old white Georgia native, expressed similar sentiments: "I believe our nation is ruined and has been for several decades and the election of Obama is merely the culmination of the change.



There are a lot of scared people out there.
