Yes, some call that a "Conscious(ness) Shock"
Those, for ex. who have studied homo-sap aberrations for centuries.
And if this has been such a 'Shock', some ingrained prejudices may prove to just ... umm, evanesce (no pseudo-intellectual processes required.) That's the theory, anyway - there are no processes discovered (or expected) for intentionally creating such a thing.
Still, there will be the morbidly Obsessed, persons who daily exist in a constrained / reduced level of consciousness; these may be impervious to effects seen in normal people. So yes I think too, that there is now a heightened chance of a loony >wanting to< go after Obama.
Still, given the general competence of the S.Service and the (often) mental laziness of such cranks -- doesn't seem a keeping-awake level of threat. This supposes that the SS deos not become complacent after a few months. But what do I know.
