i think the chances of him being assassinated are slim. not to say there won't be attempts (not so long since reagan got shot) but i think SS will keep him safe. some of them might prefer McCain, but it would still be a disgrace to have POTUS shot on your watch.
as for promises, we'll have to see what kind of a senate he ends up with. he needed 9 more democrats to have 60 in total, which would mean the dems could do what they want (assuming they could agree on what they want).
another problem is he inherits a country with no money.
but, he brings hope and confidence, which can't hurt.
