If Bush survived 8 years, I feel pretty confident about the job the secret service is doing.

I'm quite confident in the secret service as well. Obama might be a bigger target than we've had in a while because he "offends" a bigger collection of whack-jobs than other candidates, but I still wouldn't say an assassination is a given.
