Ambassador Chris Stevens did not have a Marine detail in Benghazi, Libya. But White House Senior Advisor and Obama confidante Valerie Jarrett has a full Secret Service detail on vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, according to Democratic pollster Pat Caddell. That’s the pathetic foreign policy of the Obama administration, says Caddell today in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News. “Jarrett seems to have a 24 hour, around the clock detail, with five or six agents full time,” Caddell explains. “The media has been completely uninterested. We don’t provide security for our ambassador in Libya, but she needs a full Secret Service security detail. And nobody thinks there’s anything wrong with this. And nobody in the press will ask. What kind of slavish stoogery are they perpetrating here? “This country has reached the point of absurdity. There are people dead because we don’t have security details for them. But she’s privileged to have a full Secret Service detail on vacation?” Caddell points out that Americans are already unhappy with President Obama on foreign policy aside from the killing of Osama Bin Laden. Caddell, along with Republican pollster John McLaughlin, runs Secure America, a nonpartisan advocacy group. “We’ve just finished two polls coming out in the field today,” says Caddell, “but we already know that people feel strongly about Iran; they feel strongly about the administration’s policy with regard to Islamic extremists. They don’t like the Obama administration’s handling of these issues. And this election won’t only be about the economy. The American people aren’t stupid. They can walk and chew gum at the same time.”

I don’t think it has to do with priorities. I think Cabinet members get protection while Ambassadors don’t. I remember in Korea, Ambassador Hill was at our functions quite often and he and his wife came without any protection. Although they did have a driver (who sat in the car until ready to go back home).

Hussein has a constituency that would vote for him even if this was non-stop breaking news. They are exactly the voters Romney mentioned, the ones who vote based on who will “pay my mortgage and fill up my gas tank” on the shrinking productive classes’ dime, and no other issue matters to these pigs lolling about in their own mud. If this country were invaded, their only concern would be if their “gimmees” were interrupted.
