Why would you encourage people to bet on such a thing. It would only encourage action if people began placing huge bets on the possibility of some being assasinated.

Guys just to clarify, this has been totally mis-reported. We neer had such a market and never would, we don't take bets on murder / deaths.
We had a market available betting on if Obama would last the first term, with the options available being he will be impeached or quit. Someone somewhere has mis-read our site, jumped to the worng conclusion and wrote a story about it.
A full range of President Obama betting markets can be found here:

It did raise my eyebrows when it was put on the site. Novelty bets are one thing but that was wrong....

Let's hope Obama will never be in that spotlight and will accomplish things he promised.
