STOCKHOLM - IF BARACK Obama becomes the next US president he will surely be assassinated, British Nobel literature laureate Doris Lessing predicted in a newspaper interview published on Saturday.
Obama, who is vying to become the first black president in US history, would certainly not last long, a black man in the position of president. They would murder him,' Ms Lessing, 88, told the Dagens Nyheter daily.
Ms Lessing, who won the 2007 Nobel Literature Prize, said it might be better if Obama's Democratic rival Hillary Clinton were to succeed in her bid to become the first woman president of the United States.
'The best thing would be if they (Clinton and Obama) were to run together. Hillary is a very sharp lady. It might be calmer if she were to win, and not Obama,' she said. -- AFP
