JACKSON, Tenn. \u2014 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.<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.cdn.turner.com\/trutv\/thesmokinggun.com\/graphics\/art4\/1027081obama5.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=1442\">Daniel Cowart and Paul Schlesselman<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8230;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.news.com.au\/heraldsun\/story\/0,21985,24571788-663,00.html\">planned<\/a> to dress in all-white tuxedos and top hats and die in the attempt to shoot Senator Obama from the windows of a speeding car.<\/p>\n<p>But authorities say while they had guns, the plot never got close to getting off the ground and they were probably too disorganised to carry it out.<\/p>\n<p>Among their blunders: they drew attention to themselves by etching swastikas on a car with chalk, they knew each other only for a month, they couldn&#8217;t pull off a house robbery, and a friend reported them to authorities.<\/p>\n<p>Schlesselman&#8217;s sister, Kayla, revealed yesterday she had spoken to her brother and he had expressed regret.
