President Obama got through the inaugural parade without being attacked, but his Cadillac limousine and his bodyguards were ready for anything.
Check out this graphic of the limo, known as "the Beast."

It has shotguns readily at hand and armor plating 8" thick on the doors.
Rumors say that blood of the President's type is stored in the trunk.
His Secret Service agents were tense as he and the First Lady got out of the tank, then walked and waved to the crowds.
I was pretty nervous too, thinking of snipers in windows of buildings they walked past.
Please, God, protect him. Give wisdom to those around him. May he have four more years of service without any assassination attempts.
