Well I just hope you're right. But it will be a nightmare for the security guys around him.
I believe the biggest threat does come from the race-hate groups. But I'm not convinced that the worst of the threats has passed.
I think Obama's still in great danger.

... Soooooooo......how many days?

Gawd......I hope I am wrong on this one.........

He'll be depending on foreign security which isn't as good and in a place full of those intent upon doing the United States harm.

The president of the United States never depends on foreign security.

When presidential visits are made even to Canada, the secret service has a full contingent of fully armed agents on duty.
The gun laws in Canada do not permit some of the weapons they bring but exceptions are made for the president.

The unmarked crates of weapons are landed in a seperate plane before the president arrives.

For PR purposes, the locals are lead to believe that their own police are used for security for the president.
The truth is that the local forces are only there for display purposes.
The real security is covered by the secret service.

I think these guys are some of the most dedicated security types in the world and the belief that nothing will happen to the president on their watch is ingrained into their souls.

For the duration of the two terms of this Obama administration, the secret service will be on even higher alert than usual.
It's just a matter of pride for them.

Truth is we know so little about this new president that nobody can predict how he will perform. In two press conferences so far he has made two gaffs resulting in one phone call to Nancy Reagon to apologize and another self deprecating remark. Is this a hint to his real public speaking ability when off script? If so how will he handle himself with world leaders?

I believe both Democrats and Republicans are responsible for the current financial crisis and it will get worse before it gets better. Both parties’ realize this and therefore neither party truly wished to win at this election cycle. When Oprah endorsed Obama his fate was sealed. Some of the things Obama said when off the campaign script made me think he was trying to lose the election and in normal times would have resulted in his being forced out. Oprah made all the difference.

Obama will do his best but the truth is that the damage to the economy is deep and long lasting no matter what he does. If he increases taxes the economy will get worse. Obama has made many campaign promises to get himself elected. When the country realizes that he cannot deliver on those promises then what?

I hope he performs well at the Presidency; this country needs him to perform well. He has not demonstrated yet that he is the man this country needs at this time. Can any one man correct what has taken decades of inaction by previous administrations (Clinton and Bush) to accomplish?

Mr. Obama promised change. If he continues politics as usual in Washington, we the citizens lose.

Obama got my vote! Heck yeah! Put a brother in the White House!
The sad truth of the matter is that nothing will truly change so long as the people who run this country believe, "We use the military to have what we want."
This is why we invaded Iraq, a country whose total population had less to do with 9/11 than the Faculty and Administration of Embry-Riddle University.

Still, I'd reenlist if I weren't so old and fat. I know Obama wouldn't screw me over the way George Bush did.

I admit to not voting Obama, but I am glad he won. My prayers and support will be with him and his new administration in the coming years.
