I hope the President will be walking the parade today.

Dubya was too chickenshit to get out of the limo.

But President Obama walked his first inauguration, and I hope he'll do the same again today.

1. I just want him to be safe.

The climate right now with the gun nuts is scary.

3. I was a bit scared last time, too.

Every time he's out in public there's always a little bit that makes me scared for him and Michelle and Sasha and Malia.

But he's got a good Secret Service detail and I see him walking as a big fuck you to people who want him to be too scared to show his face in public.

2. He did that last time. The looneys are out. Safe is better. nt

4. I Think You're NUTS to want him to walk the parade - He's an open target the whole way.

Given the bile, open hate, and record number of death threats it's nuts for him to walk that route. Especially given the extra added gun nut furor lately.

I hope he stays in the limo but you'll probably get your wish. He'll walk it as a symbol of not being afraid or cowed by the crazies.

5. I actually hope he doesn't......Lots of deranged nuts with guns in the current climate.

6. Please no... no... I hope he doesn't. I'll be a nervous wreck. n/t
