3. Just reliving my youth here...

On October 24, 1963, when on a visit to Dallas to mark U.N. Day, U.N. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson was jeered, jostled, hit by a sign, and spat upon. Dallas Police were fearful that similar demonstrations were going to happen to Kennedy when he visited Dallas. Several people, including Stevenson, warned JFK against coming to Dallas, but Kennedy refused their advice. Dallas Police, headed by chief Jesse Curry, did increase the level of security during Kennedy's visit, putting into effect the most stringent security precautions in the city's history. Curry even "deputized" citizens to take action for any suspicious acts that may be pointed towards the President.

5. You know what would be fun?

If Fred Phelps makes good on his threat and shows up, the President should march up to him and say, "You're not welcome here. And by here, I mean America." And then he should rejoin the memorial service.
