Thanks for the comment citing the current president and Jared Lee Loughner. The only thing I can add to this intepretation is that the would-be assassin of the president in this song seems to be a disgruntled ex marine - "How I made it back home, nobody knows Or how I survived so many blows I've been thru Hell, What good did it do?"
