We should not be so hard on Ms. Clinton. It is actually understandable she should think about the possibility a person she knows and is in conflict with getting shot. Look at her history.
A more than average amount of people she has known have actually been shot. It has happened to her so many times before, she is probably just more aware of this awful possibility. Here are some of her acquaintances who have been killed by a bullet wound...this must have had some effect on her. I am just saying that if six or so people YOU knew and/or had conflict with had died of gun shots for whatever reason, you might be more likely to think of the ghoulish possibility of someone getting shot, too.

Give her a break. She is just a product of her background. I think there may have been others, too. If so, then it is even more understandable she would be worried about Sen. Obama's safety, and, importanly, be ready to step up to the plate should the need arise.
