This conservative was about ready for a lynching too.
Where do YOU stand? AOK for people to fire live rounds at the WH? AOK for an armed stranger to sashay into an elevator with the president? AOK for an intruder to break into the WH and run amock? AOK to make distorted incident reports, or pretty well cover them up as in the case of the elevator episode?
Just a straight answer this time, please, no wisecracks, and I hope you can show that you actually possess a sense of appreciation for how serious it us for the President to be in constant danger due to the incompetence of his security detail.
It is not the president's personal security detail or personal residence since he didn't build or fund it - they are perks that his office is provided by the taxpayers. The SS are public employees paid for with public funds (tax money) to perform a specific mission authorized by our congress critters. I am getting very tired of the idea that Obama alone gets to decide when, where and how our money is being wasted. Obama may be fine with the IRS choosing to harass those that he cares little about, with embassy personnel being sacrificed to keep up some bizarre image of trusting the "good Muslim" nations and doling out endless pork to his favorite supporters. We the people, not the king, must have a say in how our border is being secured and how the federal laws that our representatives have passed are being enforced.
