It's terrible that we live in an age where this not just a plausible thought, but a common one.

We're all hoping that some nut job doesn't do it. I've been worried about him making it to the inauguration. Now he has. I just hope the secret service guys are really, really good.

until today everytime i saw or heard him on the tv i turned the channel. I don't want to get emotionally attached to him until 4 years is over. this is the age we live in.
