What are Obama's "chances" for beeing assassinated? Why would they be greater than if McCain got elected?
I happen to be suspicious that not everyone in America loves Barack Obama. And because I regard him as a rare mixture of features from JFK and MLK Jr.”both assassinated”I fear that those who hate him might do so with even greater ferocity. In my purely subjective opinion, I see Obama as having a greater risk of assassination than McCain. I have no way of measuring this objectively. Just a gut feeling. Maybe I worry too much for his safety; he's the best thing to come along in a good, long while.*
And why is this even in your considerations?
Maybe I shouldn't. Or maybe I should worry it about more privately.

*I also worry that we are asking him to do too much too soon. Andrew Young said he wants to see Obama elected POTUS...in 2016. I tend to agree.
