I've heard a lot of people talking about Obama and a threat of assassination. I think it's being blown out of proportion.

George W. Bush has a horrible approval rating, is hated by many millions overseas, started two wars, and has traveled internationally more than any other president. Surely Bush is much more likely to be a target of assassination. Yet, few realistic attempts have actually been made against him.

You never see bush. Ever. Believe me. His security is unbelievably tight. I saw Cheney 1 time and that was after a serious background check. I think when the time comes they will give Obama the same protection but right now there is no way he is getting it at that level. The secret service guys and gals are all very cool/good people and pro, I would trust anybody's life in their hands but like Hillary Clinton on the 3 occasions I met her only had 1 SS agent at her side. I think if somebody was inclined at the time they could of done something. Now I'm sure that the place would be swarmed in 30 seconds but you know. I think Obama right now is between Bush and Hillary pre-pres candidate level on security but I'm not a expert nor do i claim to understand the level of security thats inplace.

Bush was the commencement speaker at my wife's graduation, it was outside in the football stadium. The security was insane getting into the stadium, they checked every tiny little pocket. The metal detectors were turned up insanely high. But he was exposed when getting off Marine 1 and walking to the stadium and the whole time he was talking. They had snipers on top of all the buildings around, scanning. I would think that a very well trained sniper could've gotten a shot off, but anyone else would've been toast.

I'd bet you a large pizza that any actual usable point a sniper could be in had ss agents sitting there 🙂

The second guy looks like he could play Cletus in a live-action adaptation of the Simpsons.

Haha, that's exactly what I thought.

I love how some of you claim this was a racist act. Was Reagan's assassination attempt racially driven? Candidates/Presidents are threatened all the time, why is this attempt racist?
