Watch as CNN and MSNBC blame Rush Limbaugh for this.
Predictable as the sun rising.
That said, the possibility of Hillary’s SS team and Obama’s SS team engaging in a firefight against each other is now 100% more likely to occur....(chuckle)
Someone want to explain to me how a Presidental candidate(who hasn’t even won a primary), rates SS protection?
Yikes! Hill-de-pants’ thug machine must have slipped up and left a bit of evidence behind.
He must be gaining on Hillary
CCN front page:
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has been placed under the protection of the U.S. Secret Service, reportedly because of a threat against him, the Secret Service said Thursday.
I do not agree with Obama about much of anything, and I do not want him to be elected. That said, jerk-offs like this who make threats, and thereby interrupt our political process, need to be dealt with VERY harshly.
Why the heck has it taken this long?
hillary?
I thought all our senators had bodyguard protection. I just assumed as much of our money they lavish on themselves this would be one of their perks they insisted on.
Who are all those people that surround them when they are out, private security?
Arkancide?
I hope they can protect him from Arkancide.
“As a result of Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination, Congress authorized protection of major presidential and vice presidential candidates and nominees. (Public Law 90-331).”

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.
Guess he is getting worried about Hilary...
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.
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.
Maybe the SS decided to put him under surveillance and just told him that it’s for his protection.
