Being one of the most powerful people in the world, comes with assassination plots and attempts...regardless of your ethnicity. Regan was shot at several times and he was white. I'm sure there were attempts on Clinton and both Bush's that we just never heard about.

My point being that EVERY President faces the possibility of assassination attempts, be it from a foreign enemy or a crazed American Citizen; we just have to trust that the Secret Service will do their job in keeping the leader of the free world safe...they've done a pretty good job so far.
And if John McCain gets elected he'll have to deal with Sara Palin hiding behind doors, jumping out and yelling "BOO!" all the time.
