well, its a heated time. but they keep him pretty well protected.
and the GOP does want him to be another ronald, so i imagine its not too outlandish to see it being attempted. i dont think its ever been a given that the president wasnt a potential target, regardless of who he was.
but i do find it offensively ridiculous to refer to them as "liberal" or "democrats" as though the people who would attempt this would fit easily into that category. its as dumb as calling abortion-clinic bombers "conservatives." they are not, they belong to a more intense brotherhood of insaniacs.
