I am not so sure. I think that if this had been done 5 years ago, when
George W Bush was a sitting president, there may have been some legitimate
concern about depicting his execution/assassination in a piece of mass
entertainment. I might have a similar concern if it was done with Barack
Obama now. I don't have the same concern if it was done with Clinton or
Bush now, and I don't think I would have the same concern if it was done 5
years from now (yes, I am being optimistic, shoot me) with Obama.
