I can now take a breath

[Happyhippychick]

I HATE when they get out of the car. In 2009 I was literally screaming at the television.

1. They could get out again. :-)

[Happyhippychick]

5. AAAAARGHHHH!

[Lars39]

6. Security is very tight.

I'd love to see them walk again.

[Happyhippychick]

8. You got your wish. Holding my breath again!

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

2. i hear ya. so many freaks out there.

[wellstone dem]

3. That is exactly how I felt,

just relief when they got back in the car.

4. Obama is not a coward

A coward dies a thousand deaths, but a brave man dies only one

[wilt the stilt]

7. Obama is certainly the one that assasination

is a real threat.

[sad-cafe]

10. many threats daily

probably hourly

[TeamPooka]

14. um, all Presidents are in danger. Even Reagan got shot right?

but I will say that the average number of threats leveled against this President, in the reports I've read, is through the roof and the Secret service is straining to keep up with them.
They better keep him and the family safe.

[wilt the stilt]

23. Reagan wasn't shot because he was hated

Hinckley I believe was trying to show off.

[TeamPooka]

24. so "danger" is not defined soley by a level of hate. thank you for making my point. bazinga. nt

9. Hold it again!

[Happyhippychick]

13. Turning blue!

[Glimmer of Hope]

15. Security is crazy! They will be fine.

[Happyhippychick]

16. I'm a Jewish mother, worrying is my heritage!

[Glimmer of Hope]

18. They should make it to the viewing stand any second now!

[ellisonz]

20. You can breathe now!

[Happyhippychick]

21. Thank you! I literally had a knot in my stomach.

[ellisonz]

22. Good thing you kept all that fancy Inaugural lunchon food down

Hehehhehehe

[malaise]

11. They are out of the car again

GObama!

[bklyncowgirl]

11. Isn't it sad that this is what our country has come to?

Our elected leader has to hide from us behind bulletproof glass and when he walks on the street in full view of the people we see visions of Dallas and pray for him to get back to safety.

[texanwitch]

17. He has to do this.

You can't let the crazy people always keep you hiding.

There is security everywhere in that crowd and on the roof tops.

You just don't see them.

[Bjornsdotter]

19. I know the risk

...but I have to admit that I like when he gets out & walks.

I think it's wonderful for the people to see him, whether in person or on tv.
