Last night I watched Mitt Romney’s speech from Bucks County, Pennsylvania and noticed something I hope you’ve picked up on: his Secret Service detail is treating Mitt Romney like a President…and not just like a candidate.
What I mean is that the looks on the agents faces, and the way they aggressively keep turning their heads and watching out for Romney, is the same thing they do for the actual President…but it’s not the same level of intensity these guys provide for a mere candidates for office, former presidents, First Ladies, etc. While the Secret Service always strives to do its job well and protect all its charges…the PRESIDENT is where they put their most energy…and I think mentally the agency has moved ahead and realizes that Mitt Romney will become the President-Elect tomorrow.
I never saw them treat John McCain this way. And they never treated Hillary Clinton this way, either. But they did treat Barack Obama this way very early on…way back to December 2007 or early January 2008, whenever he got a full Secret Service detail. They always treated him like he’d be the next president, not just a candidate.
But that’s how they are treating Mitt Romney right now…making it clear to me that the Powers That Be know that Bathhouse Barry is one and done.
Have you noticed this?(continued)

Was telling my son about two guys I noticed at the New Hampshire rally. Really, really big guys, taller than most everybody and they were as close to Romney as white on rice. Whenever Romney was dwarfed by the crowd, you could still find out where he was because of these two guys. Glad to see it.
Looks to me like they need to hit the gym more often.
Funny - people at the Hill site complaining about how much time it takes for the site to load and run!!!!! Another commented about needing to spend money to upgrade but it costs a lot.
They may be putting more experienced agents with him now.
Consider what they might be wearing that makes them look that way. Consider what you might want to wear if part of your job description was jumping in front of the bullets.
They take their job very seriously and it shows. Except when they are playing with hookers. I don’t think they have much of a sense of a humor either.
Didn't Hitler call for something simular against the Jews by inventing an enemy of the people?
No need for the gym with 6 to 7 pound trigger pull; the range maybe.
If someones shootin at ya, you don’t want skinny body guards!
It must feel weird for the Secret Service to finally be protecting a vessel with a functioning brain.
They treat him like a President because he doesn’t treat them like furniture
Maybe they are doing their jobs and taking the death threats seriously.
I can not Wait to hear the SS compare Obama to Bush’s, Reagan and throw in all the crap treatment of Carter, Billary, etc. like they did a few years ago. I wonder what BO was like?
I'm very happy to see it, too. It makes me feel better when he plunges into those crowds to see those big, burly guys so close to him and protecting him. I'm sure they're surrounding Ann, too, but maybe not quite as claustrophically close.
