Sure; didn't mean to be cryptic. My fear is that Obama's story looks like the arc of tragedy, which ultimately ends in death. Every report I read compaing Obama to JFK, RFK or MLK reminds me that those men were killed.
The Phil Ochs song was written about John Kennedy's assassination. I'm sending up a secular humanist prayer that Obama is well-protected.
Care to elaborate, Jim? I'm not sure what you're getting at...
