maryportfuncity 10,662 Posted June 19, 2015 I doubt he'd be assinated at all too much of a people pleaser and isn't taking chances like Lincoln and JFK were He's something of a Tony Blair job in that he's loved and admired way more outside of his country than he is within it. And, considering the points above I'd say we will see a US assassination again some day, it's complacent to think otherwise when so many people own guns and so many unhinged sorts are at loose in the country. Re Bush and assassination, I'd say he stayed safe because he played well amongst those from the shallow end of the gene pool who could still stagger into a booth and cast a vote. Well that, and - frankly - a bullet in the head wouldn't have greatly damaged him anyway. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,775 Posted May 8, 2021 Well, the only "presidential pets" alive are Obama's dog Sunny (b. 2012), Biden's dogs Champ (2008-2021) and the "infamous" Major (b. 2018) and possibly George W. Bush's longhorn cow Ofelia. However presidentialpetmuseum's web site uses "was" instead of "is" Carter's dogs and cats are long gone, Reagan's horses are probably all dead (as Reagan's presidency ended in 1989) HW Bush's last presidential dog died in 1997, Clinton's cat Socks (who had a DL thread for his last 3 years) died in 2009 and Trump didn't have pets. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

William McKinley had a Mexican parrot that, if it lived the whole 80-year lifespan of that parrot species, would've been alive 56 (1877-1957) years after the end of McKinley's presidency and death. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
