Yes. Definitely a hero to emulate. Every president should hope to be the people's hero and thus a threat to the special interests and thus assasinated, thereby making the ultimate sacrifice for the people. Maybe they could aspire to ever shorter terms in the bid for ultimate sacrificial lamb. Really fan the flames and win the peoples hearts and... ... pffft! Acolades and flowers and ... nothing. I don't think my president should need to throw his life away trying to buck a system that is rotten to the core. Change must come from without.
We the people must rise up and risk everything for the change we want, so future presidents can simply do what presidents do or should do. Any fool can throw away his or her life. With any luck the gesture will mean something and galvanize change... ... lets see... what did Kennedy's death
change?
King? So Reagan and now Obama should join them? Why? I'd want my death to mean
change, not just an invitation for a long succession of martyrs without any lasting results to show for the sacrifice. "Ask not what your President can do for you, ask what you can do for your President".
