Worried about Obama

Went out to Korean BBQ party with some Japanese friends, all in their 40s. They said they like Obama very much and that is why they fear he will be assassinated.

During the election a popular topic with people I know here is how even tho Americans told pollsters that they like Obama, secretly they didn't and wouldn't vote for him. No one mentions that anymore, it has shifted to expressing concern for his safety, which to me sounds like a cover for unconsciously thinking Americans can't deal with a black president.

Who knows, maybe they are right. Point is, that's the opinion here, recorded by yours truly for future sociologists.
