due to a threat.
So, are you saying you want the Rapist’s wife dealt with harshly?
I guess Pres. Bush signed an Executive Order for this.
The DNC should take care of this, not the tax payer until 120 days before the election.
Money does not grow on trees unless your a politician I guess.
Today is May 3, 2007. The Presidential election Election will be held November, 3, 2008....by my counts that's round about 550 days...
Yes. It is 500 + days.
But, if the USSS is doing it, it’s because it’s been ordered by the Secretary of the Treasury for a viable, credible threat.
I don’t know if that is the case, but its entirely possible. The fact Obama isn’t playing the political game in the manner expected could also be a factor.
Lets be honest, the odds are wildly in favor of a black man being killed by another black man.
There is a committee that has to approve them as a “major candidate.” Even Al Sharpton got protection. But that’s only closer to the election.
Its likely easier to justify for Obama as a sitting senator.
Both candidates candidates who were shot held high profile government jobs and had received threats. After Bobby Kennedy and George Wallace we started putting more money into candidate protection. I think about $90 million.
Guess he is getting worried about Hilary...
At least this should keep him from turning up dead in a park somewhere.
I know that.
I know I am going to be blasted for this, but I think he should get it. He is running for President (we already had one President get killed and one shot). Two, IF he was truly threatened than for sure he should get it. If not, then he should be charged for lying.
Its pretty obvious then when you go up against Hitlery or Slick, you’re life is at risk. Everyone knows it.
And I was stuck next to Senator Richard Burr in a traffic jam about a month ago. He was all alone in his car.
He’s going to look a lot more Presidential with secret service following him around. This could be a big break for him.
Nov. 2008 is less than 120 days away? Wow, I must have gone into a time warp and not noticed.
cheap publicity stunt.
Probably some kid made the threat. Remember, just yesterday lots of younger people were royally p!ssed at Obama and his team for commandeering the my space link http://www.myspace.com/barackobama The site was originally started up by a 29-year-old named Joe, 2 1/2 years ago.
How about if someone in the Obama campaign asked one of the lunatics supporting Obama to write an “untraceable” threatening letter so Obama will get Secret Service protection?
Maybe the SS decided to put him under surveillance and just told him that it’s for his protection.
