Federal agents have broken up a plot by 2 neo-nazi skin-heads to assassinate democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Agents say the suspects also planned to shoot or decapitate more than a hundred african-american students.

20 year old Daniel Cowart of Tennessee and 18 year old Paul Schlesselman, of Arkansas vowed to use a "high powered rifle" to carry out the job.

According to ATF records, the 2 planned to rob a gun store, before going on the killing spree.

Agents say the 2 were planning to wear all-white tuxedos and top hats and shoot at Obama from the windows of a moving car.

Officials also say the 2 believed they would be killed before completing their goal.

Senator Obama spoke about the situation to CBS News.

"Whats been striking in this campaign...is the degree to which these kinds of hate groups have been marginalized... thats not who america is."

When asked if he feels safe, he replied, "I've got the best folks in the world...secret service."

The two suspects are charged with conspiracy to steal firearms and threatening a candidate for president.
