I know it's irrational and emotional, but when it was announced he was going on the news, a chill when down my spine. I have worried about racist and nuts since the day he won the election in 2008. God be with him!

(1,048 posts)I heard yesterday he was going to go to Dallas but I didn't even think of it in those terms. That really just shook me now with the realization of what you are talking about.

(3,605 posts)probably won't print a map of the route he'll take and I think they'll be very suspicious of anyone carrying "curtain rods" into their workplace. There's no doubt one or more RWNJs are thinking about how they could pull it off. Stay safe, Prez Obama.
