Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.

The Presidential Protective Detail is the holiest of holies. Everything stops for the presidential motorcade . . . The prime minister of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, was not so understanding. His motorcade was arriving at the Sheraton Hotel while a “POTUS Freeze” was in place. The Secret Service agent in charge of Erdogan’s detail asked him to wait until Obama’s motorcade had departed, but the Turkish prime minister did not heed the advice. He opened the door to his car, and armed Turkish agents began exiting the other vehicles in the motorcade. “Don’t do that!” the American detail leader shouted. But Erdogan’s entourage nonetheless approached Obama’s departure tent. An agent in the Presidential Protective Detail, having no idea who these foreign guys with guns were, yelled into his handheld mike, “Crash it! Crash the tent!” Within moments, a dozen agents were out of their cars in full sprint, guns drawn, and the Turks were forcibly detained.
The incident was over within 20 seconds, but the Turkish delegation was mightily offended. It canceled several events in New York, while the Secret Service and the State Department apologized and tried to smooth hurt egos. Although agents had done exactly what they were supposed to do, the service initiated a full review, and procedures were altered to ensure that presidential motorcades didn’t intersect with waiting dignitaries in the future.

I remember when President Bush came to Colorado Springs a few years ago, he was some to come in during the day but instead, he flew in the night before late so as not to disrupt people doing things during the day. He sowed some class and consideration to those he was visiting unlike this buffoon who went out of his way to inconvenience people !
I would like to post something in response to that but don't think the attention it might draw would be worth it.
Hmmm....I seem to remember the SS confiscating cameras from people when Michelle and the first daughters were walking down a public street in Manhattan.
And also at Martha’s Vineyard a few summer ago, when the SS was confiscating cell phones and cameras from citizens who were snapping pictures of “The One.”
LOL..You need too quaf to deswitch.
The evidence too much for you?
Egypt has a river, wonderfully seductive..DeNile.
That's their job. Grow up or stay home and turn off the TV.
A large segment of Americans won't be cowed. And if the SS opens fire on American citizens in groups, there are those who WILL fire back.

Yes, what you read or saw is true. The SS is sometimes instructed that the presidents family must not have its privacy invaded when they are public figures, appearing in public.
Again loyalty to Obama , not to the constitution.
You could easily assemble a litany of SS protective detail misconduct, fromm interfering with citizen constitutional rights, running over pedestrians, to citizen investigative harassment for free speech remarks made in the media which criticize Obama ( the recent wrestler/fighter who called Obama out to duke it out, on television, in jest received an SS visit.). The SS have a new erroneous duty to protect Obamas”image” not just his person. This is far beyond what their traditional duties are, and that violates the constitutional liberty rights of Americans.
What would you expect? Obama is a genuine liberal fascist of the first order. Few can even face the fact.He fits perfectly into the historical definition as a fascist, as many have noted,
http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html
But fewer still know what to look for in the fascist manifestation of Obama Regime’s staff comduct,the conduct of Obamas “institutions” and still fewer are willing to face that comduct ,once seen.
Still some of us can, and do. Perhaps we can serve as canaries in the coal mine cage.Obama has just begun his destruction of America, and as his time grows short, he will accelerate his destructive agenda.His thugs will beocme more readily perceived as a consequence.
As the MSM covers for Obama, and his disguise grows more sophisticated, it is even more crucual that people are aprised of Obama’s evolution into a deeper kind of fascism.
Americans should ridicule it, and hastily send Obama packing at the earliest opportunity.That is the duty of a free people, reardless of what political pursuasion each might hold.
Hi bloody sam! When was the last time the SS pointed a drive by gun at you for just standing in the sidewalk?
Thats not their job pal. Not at all.
Those guns are not supposed to come out until it is reprted that weapons are drawn by others.
Until that changes, I have no intention to be within gun range of the pretender who resides in the White Hut, nor do millions of other Americans who are in the know about this issue.I will avoid him and his SS presidential detail like the plague it is.
"Jamie, no man in England will kill me, for it would make you King."
A jibe that Charles II is supposed to have directed at his younger brother James, the Duke of York (later James II).
Greetings!
No it isn't. You are correct.
However, being paranoid is their job. That's what I said.
Or maybe you two need to splash some cold water on your faces and wake up.
Interesting posts on this thread. Thanks.
2nd pic? Unloading the First Lady from Air Force one?
It looked like the correct amount of deference to me, but I’m just a layman.
Agreed, but in this case the paranoia has political ends, not just protection. Acting on paranoia is when mistakes happen, and so the SS is not what it used to be. When paranoia was used as a principle of perception, prpearation and awareness, not activity of misconduct as we have seen the SS did not interfere with the constitutional rights of Americans.
I’d prefer Biden to this evil bastard.
The SS pointing weapons out the rear of the motorcade SUV is and has been standard operating procedure for a long time. I’ve personally seen it twice with Zero’s motorcade in Chicago. Have also seen it with both Clinton and Bush motorcades.
Your description of photo of the SS agent in Chicago with the weapon in hand is not accurate. If you enlarge the photo, you can see that the weapon is in the cop’s holster as the SS agent is walking by.
