JACKSON, Tenn. — A white supremacist has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for conspiring to kill then-presidential candidate Barack Obama and dozens of other black people.

U.S. District Judge J. Daniel Breen on Thursday sentenced 19-year-old Paul Schlesselman of Helena-West Helena, Ark. He had pleaded guilty in January.

Twenty-one-year-old co-defendant, Daniel Cowart of Bells, Tenn., also pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing.

Authorities have described the pair as white supremacist skinheads who hatched a plan to go on a cross-country robbery and killing spree that would end with an attack on Obama in 2008.

Their plan was to kill 88 African-Americans and behead 14 others before trying to take out Obama. The numbers 88 and 14 are symbolic in the white supremacist movement.

    If you actually read the details of their plan, it’s no wonder he and his partner got caught. It wasn’t a very well thought out plan at all.

    What up peeps , I’m from Canada and I know that this man’s sentence is a joke , if it was the other way around , a black man would plot an assassination against a white president , the black man would’ve go to death row . I don’t care how old is he ……. look at the tattoo he got on his right shoulder.Racism is based on power , that’s why he did it , this guy , a royal jack azz .

    If it were a black man against a white president, they would do their best to reinstate lynching.The president needs to wise up. How come his census records were released, but yet they have commercials on tv claiming our input is protected.This man ought to be treated as a terrorist, which is how they would deal with everyone else that is not WHITE!And who the hell says you cant post comments as fast as you want, now their is a law against being a fast typer, a fast reader and commentor?!!?
