what do you think? Cronyism? Affirmative action?

Cronyism of a security minded sort. He wanted people loyal to him and him alone. The sort that wouldn't blab about how many times Bill Ayres or Gorge Soros were at the White House. Professionals are loyal to the service and the office. They might drop a dime on someone who is systematically destroying the nation and disgracing the office they were sworn to protect. So he brought in guys who were politically reliable, even if they lacked the professional standards of the old service.

Remember in 2009 there were all those stories about how Michelle mistreated the secret service. Notice how we don't hear that kind of story any more. So do you think Michelle changed, or that the secret service has been changed to those who won't talk about the masters business.

It is after all the Chicago way. The bodyguard of the Chicago mayor was never to protect him. Its job was to clean up after him.
