re: #113 Obdicut

There is one reason to be afraid of this trial.

I seriously think that someone is going to take a shot at Obama, and I think this is going to be what provokes it. It’s really hitting on a big streak of fear.

I wonder, seriously, if Obama has thought of that, or if it’s just not possible to think about things like that and function as president?

I think it will too. And I think he just can’t think about that. He’s had a four-fold increase in death threats over the last POTUS. He had to get USSS protection earlier than any candidate ever— and recruitment in white supremacist groups and racist groups exploded last year.
IIRC Michelle Obama raised the issue of assassination years ago, when people were first talking to Obama about political office.
I think the situation is highly volatile and I worry. I don’t know what the spark will be, but I fear we’ll see a serious attempt.
