He's no dummy, and he has chosen this path because this is the life and manner he believes is correct.
We all know that life is not always fair, just and beautiful.
I want him to be safe and to live a long life, but that is not promised to any one of us.

By the same token, I sometimes fear for the life of our President, given the power of some and the hate and craziness of others. I'm sure at some level he and his family are aware of dangers. Still he and his family have chosen this path, and hope and want President Obama to succeed and live a long life, but, as we have been reminded the last few days re JFK, there are no sure bets.
