Does Obama run the risk of getting shot if he visits a public place like a restaurant?

Obama made a surprise visit to a restaurant in DC (Ben's Chili Bowl) last Saturday with the Secret Service and the whole block around the restaurant blocked off. What if someone in the restaurant just happened to have a gun and really hated Obama?Does Obama run the risk of getting shot if he visits a public place like a restaurant?
I'm sure there are security measures for people already in the restaurant too. But what are the odds that in any one restaurant just by chance there's going to be someone insane enough to either sacrifice their life or spend the rest of it in jail?



An occasional trip to a restaurant is not driving through Dallas in a car with no roof, on an itinerary people were aware of ahead of time. I'm referring to JFK, of course. Just saying... what are the odds that 1 of the 10 people in a restaurant he'd visit spontaneously would be crazy enough to shoot him in full view of the secret service?



It could happen, just the odds are extremely low. Not many people are that insane.
If he does get shot it will probably be by one of his own peoples. Like at the weekly Chicken cookout on the front lawn at the White house shooting dice.You know it's true when they say, you can take them out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of them.Facts a fact!!!

Then the person would probably attempt to.
All presidents run that risk... one of the hazards of the job... I don't think he is at any more of a risk than any other president has been, you will always be able to find someone who does like the president, whoever the president is...
That is what the Secret Service is trained to do. Protect the President from someone who just might have a gun. They have done a good job keeping him safe this far.
To tell the honest truth - I'm surprised that no-one has tried to take a shot already.



I am a Registered Independent who voted for Obama - and I know for a fact that there are quite a few nutjobs out there who would love to take him out.



The Secret Service is on top of it though. They are going to be working double-time to ensure his safety.
That is not a risk the Secret Service goes in first and runs averyone off or checks them out and then stands around and gurads him.

Obama will not get hurt unless the big boys get tired of him.

Then he is a dead duck like the other guys they let get killed.
absolutely!

its a scary thought for sure! if he gets assassinated it will start another civil war in our country.
just like the secret service, I would gladly take a bullet for Obama. I pray every night for his safety. Oh by the way is this a threat that you are making?
Why is he different from any other president? Do you think no one wants to shoot Bush? lol
