Obama Gives Himself Lifetime Protection With Armed Guards 24/7

I honestly do not believe that anyone wants to live through the assassination of a president.

Exactly what are you suggesting when you say "what kind of people?"

I asked first.

Of course not, and who wants to see a former president assassinated?

Oh, playground bashing, lol.

Despite launching a gun control agenda that threatens to disarm the American people, President Obama has signed a bill that would afford him armed Secret Service protection for life.

“The legislation, crafted by Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, rolls back a mid-1990s law that imposed a 10-year limit on Secret Service protection for former presidents. Bush would have been the first former commander in chief affected,” reports Yahoo News. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/o...-politics.html

The new bill, which will cost American taxpayers millions of dollars, is a re-instatement of a 1965 law which will see presidents protected for life as well as their children up to age 16.

The irony of Obama seeking to surround himself with armed men for the rest of his life while simultaneously working to disarm the American people via a gun control agenda that is likely to be enforced via executive decree represents the height of hypocrisy.

But it’s not the first time that Obama has lauded the notion of responsible Americans using firearms to protect himself and his family while concurrently eviscerating that very same right for the American people.

During an ABC Nightline interview broadcast on December 26 yet recorded before the Sandy Hook shooting, Obama said one of the benefits of his re-election was the ability “to have men with guns around at all times,” in order to protect his daughters. http://www.bizpacreview.com/2012/12/...aughters-12581

It should not have been removed in the first place.

"Some" people were quite happy when they learned that Bush would receive only short-term protection after leaving office. I'm sure that they are on this forum.

Bush should have had the same protection as Clinton. He served the same number of years and deserves equal treatment. This also applies to Obama of course.

I personally believe Obama will go down in history as our worst president ever, that being said I believe he and all former presidents should be afforded protection by the Secret Service. I thought it was a bad deal when Bush signed the 10 year limit on protection into law in the first place. I do feel that we should not be paying for their Directv though!

Clinton, not Bush, was in office at the time. Clinton was the last to receive lifetime protection.

My bad, my memory is not what it used to be! Thanks for the correction.
