Ibram really doesn't know how to be effectively antigenocide or anticrime, which is odd, because I think he's smart enough for it. He might not have sufficient discretionary income to do much about it for a while, though.

And troublingly, there is absolutely nothing pro-gun in Obama's record, and there are antigun quotes. Biden's even worse, having tried to strip Americans of their self-defense option in any amount or degree available for the twenty years of his Federal career. Pro-crime and pro-genocide = not pro-good.

If you're concerned about Presidential security, you might (re)read this thread, about Bush visiting The Boeing Helicopter plant, during the last campaign.

That was in a fairly secure government supplier plant. I'm sure it would be tighter now We've come a long way from 1963 Dallas, plus the Secret Service has toys that would make Batman green with envy.

IIRC, Chicago had more homicides than US soldiers killed in Iraq this year alone.

Now, how many of those convinced take that belief a little too far?
And how many of those already have some motive to hate anyway, be it bigotry or prejudice of any flavour?

And how many of THOSE are armed enough to do it?
more than i'm very comfortable with...
hopefully fewer than I think, maybe I'm not giving some people enough credit, but...

I just hope the secret service are reeeeally on their toes.
I think they will be. I trust them.
The people that might try to assassinate him will be skinheads or KKK types - not your usual nut job. Presidential assassins are a special breed of wacko.
