Queen LaFrito needs lifetime luggage carriers.
Afraid of something Obama?
Tax and spend Republican? What business is this of his, anyway?
Presidents, like any other politician, retire as multimillionaires. Let them pay for their own security. They can afford it more than we can.
I'm really beginning to dislike the Republican party. Seriously. How much is this going to cost us now?
Secret Service ain’t gonna’ have guns, are they? Will crazy Joe Bite-me confiscate them?
Why do people who have body guards, with guns, not want us, in the flyover country not have guns? Strange.
I hope Obama’s armed security isn’t going to have scary black assault guns and hi-cap magazines.
He might soil his panties.
Should be fine print for some odd situations, not that they would ever occur, but just in case, that states this law is null and void for any president that fraudulently acquires the office, is overthrown when the citizens use the 2A to remove tyranny and reset govt, etc....
This has always been good for clinton, since the Secret Service apparently knows where the best hookers are.
rescind it the moment he leaves office... which will hopefully be before jan 2017
Guess who’s worried? The government SHOULD fear the people, not the other way around.

Since there was a limit put on secret service protection, I have been afraid the it would make George W. Bush vulnerable to attacks when his protection expired. I wish that we had a different president and agree with nothing Obama has done, but I would never want him to be harmed. If anything happened to him, he would almost be elevated to the level of saint. He is close enought to that in some people’s eyes now. I think keeping former presidents safe is a good idea.
If he could have made it only for himself, he would have. But the ‘optics’ would have been patently obvious to everyone, even his rabid loyal media. He had to include Bush for the optics filter. Otherwise, he’s still the petty little shit he’s always been.
Proof of Cowardice.
Obama is frightened of life after the White House.
And he is too chep to hire his own guns,
