I never heard about any serious attempts on his life, but it also seemed weird that it never seemed possible, that maybe he had twice the security of any previous president. I never thought about it with Bill Clinton either, though. People hating Bush is now everywhere, but it never seemed to translate into into assassination attempts. Maybe I missed all these, and would be interested to know if anybody heard of any serious rumours of such in the last 8 years. Maybe part of the security is to even suppress rumours, I don't know. This White House and all its members just seemed so ironclad, no matter what and they therefore got away with almost anything, more than Nixon or anybody else. Oh yeah, there was a helicopter into the White House, that comes back now, and that madman who was out front, but not maybe for 5 years. Of course, the PA plane was, I think, supposed to aim for the White House, 9/11. I don't know how security and presidential security policy may or may not have changed. thanks.
Never translated into any that people are aware of. Do you honestly think that we hear about everything that happens to or concerning the president? Unless shots are fired and heard in public in close proximity to the president, we're not going to hear about it on the news. There's no need to alarm the public, and furthermore it's a security risk to publicly release any information whatsoever on a failed attempt as that can be used to develop a better approach.

Yes, that's what I was thinking, but it hadn't occurred to me that there might be plots, whether or not very frequently, uncovered, on something of a regular basis. Not sure, though, because some would seem to be likely to get out, just as with terrorist plots as they are discovered (some of them serious, some of them not based on almost nothing at all.) It might not, of course, always be something that would be discovered before word of it was leaked to the public, according to whether a few or many conspirators were involved.
