I don't think it's at all "melodramatic" to consider that with the level of hatred of the President in this country and abroad, there might be some danger to his life. From terrorists to eurotrash to Streisandites, many would applaud (and possibly pay bounty for) an assassination. I keep the President in my prayers daily, as do many here.

While discussing this Chilean situation as a possible assassination scenario, a DU poster said, "Oh, I do so hope that he goes down hard and fast." Yes, our President and democratic system has many enemies -- at home and abroad. However, I repeat... they all would be VERY sorry if a pissed-off President Cheney took the helm.
