Perhaps you missed a crucial part of the article:
"the rate of threats against the president has increased 400 per cent from the 3,000 a year or so under President George W. Bush"
and the article also mentions cutbacks in the Secret Service. Not a good coincidence.
Also, the article didn't talk about deadly clothing, 24788, so I don't know why you mentioned that...
:dunno:
No it didn't mention Secret Service cutbacks, the article said it was "over-stretched and under resourced", which is just journalistic sensationalism to make you think the article is bigger than it really is.
In this era of billions in massive overspending, you think they'll save a million or two bucks by make cutbacks in the safety of the president?
That article is meaningless rubbish.
Obama is horrible. He's suffers massive delusions of grandeur and he's hell bent on finishing the job that Bush started, plunging this country into the insufferable depths of socialism. But our legislature is even worse. Senators and congressman just sit there indiscriminantly tossing our money around, all the while avoid the burdensome task of getting a real job. They're just slick salesman who campaign for a few months every four years and convince the average American dumbass redneck to vote for him.
Once again, we have no hope and it won't matter who gets assassinated.
