What are people's opinions? Do you honestly feel that Barack Obama, given his racial make-up, can have the same assuredness of personal safety as the last two presidents, GWB and Bill Clinton?
Considering that a specific racially-motivated threat has thankfully been thwarted, the night of his convention speech? But the fact that one such attempt has already been pursued, even before the election is revealing and highly disturbing.

Agreed. But despite this, Obama faces additional venom from racist groups in addition to all of the usual suspects. Could these groups be even more motivated for their cause?
I think that Obama would fine with secret service, but unfornately there are some racists with perverted minds who would like to try with compromising his safety. Even with presidents who were white (GW Bush and Clinton), there have been a few deranged people who made attempts on their safety but did not get too far.

It's possible but there are so many wackos out there of every size, shape, belief, etc. Maybe I'm being naive.
