I have a feeling that our current president, Barack Obama, is not going to survive one full term. Stepping up to office, he is now vulnerable to assassination, more than any other president so far. Since he's the first non-white president, there will be more racist criminals after him; I'll be amazed if he survives two full years in office. I think he won't last that long, but I've been known to be a rather pessimistic fellow. What do you think?

What are you saying and how does that relate to the KKK?
I am saying that (encase you did not notice) the KKK are half insane people who hate blacks, and lo and behold, there is a black President. That is just begging for an assassination attempt from them.[/quote]
I really wasn't pertaining that to the KKK. I was just saying that America has gotten really bad. What was once the land of the free is turning into a place where no one is happy.
Is this glass rocket launcher-proof? Landmine proof? Remember, just because every other presidential assassin has used bullets for the job doesn't mean that the next one will...
No offense, but you are kind of an airhead about this.
HOW THE HELL WOULD THEY GET A LANDMINE OR ROCKET LAUNCHER IN???

Just another reason to cut the cheese (funny metaphor[no, not fart]).
Oh, really sorry. I suck at jokes. XD
Not you're fault, sarcasm can't be carried over the internet well

Agreed. Rocket Launchers would only be plausible at events such as the Inauguration, and even then they had the premises sealed off for over 100 blocks in any direction, and had bullet proof glass going up to his midsection.
Not to mention the 100,000 or so members of the military/police/Secret Service patrolling the area.
They could bomb the place he was in. The maintenance guys could be criminals and set landmines in the building. Unlikely but still possible.
But that previous post of mine was referring more to the glass on the car; I just did a terrible quoting job. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough on that...
When snipers are more than a mile away, and everyone who could possibly be a shooter is below him, the only possible target to hit would be his chest. Can't really aim for the head at that distance.

They even check the maintenance guys, Everyone checks each other, trust me, no.

Read the whole picture Zootsuit set out for us. The rocket launchers and landmines would not work. Unless they were insanely powerful, government material. And plus, i am sure where the president is driving they patrol the area dn have plenty of backup, but point taken.

I meant that would not save him from rockets. Bullets, yet, rockets, no.
And plus, underneath his suit he wears full body armor.
I've heard the most dangerous threat to the president is a small plane loaded with high explosives like Semtex or C-4 plastique being crashed into the White House. I think that is somewhat unlikely to happen and in any case the Secret Service would be able to get enough warning to either have the plane shot down or rush the President into one of the plethora of concrete and steel reinforced side rooms with Kevlar and fire-repellent lining.
P.S. You should read the book "Transfer of Power" by Vince Flynn- it's fiction about a team of terrorists who break into the White House and attempt to take the president as a hostage.
And plus, underneath his suit he wears full body armor.
Body armour against a rocket launcher is like a Tweety Bird in a wooden box: it will draw out your life for a few minutes, but it really won't help you in the long run.
