Guns for me but not for thee.
FUBO
Planning ahead to m,ake sure he gets the Royal treatment the rest of his days.
He already plans to escape to Hawaii. It is his Gulch after he destroys our country.
I wonder if he has considered that it might be one of the first land grabs a foreign power go for..., i.e. China or Japan
Im surprised that Obama is so self centered. If former presidents deserve protection for life, then why not George H. W. Bush and Jimmy Carter too?
***********
The new law that went into effect establishing the 10 year protection began with the term of President GW Bush. This is reversing that law. All living presidents prior to President GW Bush have lifetime protection.
Armed guards to protect some school kids is a bad idea.
But to protect presidents, the beltway elite and their kids, well, that’s a good idea.
Obama & Co. and their minions are evil hypocrites.
I’ll bet there is a small amendment added at the very last that provides unlimited free gov’t. funded vacations for life for the ex-pres. and his lovely wife. Fallback negotiating position is just for the wife for life. Gotta give Mooch what’s comin’ to ‘er
He is worried about after the ten years he wants his a$$ protected. He knows the American people aren’t pleased with his policies.
presidents and their wives are royalty aren't they?

It will be a gunless society and these ex-presidents will be protected by jiu-jitsu experts only.
Why should ex-presidents and politicians be protected by people carrying guns when the rest of the populace have to depend on baseball bats for their protection?
After all, their lives are not more precious than those of the common tax-paying, law-abiding citizens. Or are they?
Whats the matter BoZo feeling the heat from the peons getting worried about your safety????Are your SS carrying the dreaded Assault weapons.
Every day it’s a new “in your face” from this clown.
What a frigging D-bag.
