security

i'm fascinated by the sheer amount of security given to presidential candidates. few things demonstrate the importance of these people more than the secret service operation around them.

i think a lot of people fear for barack's safety and more than once (including this night) did the thought cross my mind that someone might try to kill him and what that would mean for the country.

i liked this photo because it seemed to symbolize that his security often does take precedence over everyone's hopes about what he'll be able to do in office.
