Wellllll, I won't go that far with you. I don't know about "great president" (I'd settle for "pretty good" or "light-years better than the alternative") and I don't know about the "grave danger" part, either. That would only be true in the big East Coast cities even if the Gorebot were president and doing a PC ostrich/navel-examining act w/ respect to Arab terrorism.
Even in the hands of the Rats, this is still a pretty stout country. It even stood up to 48 years of the New Deal.
