Is Barack Obama's Life Safe in the Secret Service's Hands?
Daily Telegraph (U.K.) ^ | September 29, 2014 | Raf Sanchez

Posted on 09/29/2014 1:43:18 PM PDT by Cecily

A knife-wielding intruder allowed to burst through the White House's front door. Bullets that struck the window of Barack Obama's private residence but went unnoticed for days. A presidential bodyguard so drunk he passed out in hallway of a hotel.

These are just some of the recent incidents that have shaken confidence in the Secret Service, the elite agency assigned to protect Mr Obama, his family and the White House.

On Tuesday, Julia Pierson, the Secret Service's director, will face a grilling from members of Congress and a battle to convince them that her agents are up to the task of protecting the world's most powerful man.

Obama has not been able to go out among the people in years.

The SS can’t protect him in any but a carefully vetted venue.

One of them also told 0bama to his face that he would not take a bullet for him or his family due to their racism. The guy up and quit.

0bama has expected to be assassinated since the very beginning, given the introduction of The Beast, his car.

I am perfectly satisfied with the security provided to the occupant of our White House. As for presidential security, I hope the Secret Service will get its act together before January 20, 2017. It wouldn’t surprise me if the good people of the Secret Service suddenly felt more motivated after the next Inauguration.

I don’t want to see anything happen to Obama, in the same sense that I don’t want to see anything unlawful happen to Mumia, Ayers, Rev. Wright, or other traitors, terrorists, and murderers who still might find a path to God and switch to supporting the side of good. I doubt that Obama is in real danger though. Decent people don’t murder, and the violent terrorists and killers know that Obama is the best thing to happen for their side in our country’s history.

I’m far more concerned about the security of our country than I am about the security of someone pretending to be president.......

Just as ‘safe’ as JFK, McKinley, Garfield, Lincoln.......

The Secret Service was unable to defend President Ford twice within three weeks in 1975.

Charles Manson acolyte Squeaky Fromme pulled the trigger on her .45 in Ford's face, but she'd forgotten to rack a round into the chamber.

15 days later, Sara Jane Moore's .38 round went astray when a bystander grabbed her arm as she fired and the bullet went high of Ford and struck a wall.

I’d need more info to answer that. Is TOTUS still functional in this scenario?

But America’s enemies, foreign and domestic, would welcome a Marxist martyr.

IOW all of Barack's friends. How long until they act, figuring he is more valuable to them... at room temperature. Kind of like Rachel Corrie's associates.

Especially the media. Ratings, 24/7/365 martyr worship fest, inciting race riots, orchestrating chaos and destruction on every corner. That's like crack to those freaks.

With Hollyweird, DC, and the corrupt "news" media all under the same sheets, who knows what type of ultimate deception they have already conjured up. These security breaches may not be what they appear.

He's as safe as any president ever is.

Five or six years into his presidency, though, if there's something wrong with his protection, there's nobody he can get away with blaming it on but himself.

It should be noted, though, that when assassinations become common and officials are routinely removed by force, it's never a good sign for a society.

It’s script would be giggling across the page, but I believe it would survive. What good that would be is still questionable, realizing Biden would be the one that would have to read it convincingly.

I give his head about 17 hours before it caved in.

I wouldn’t worry about. I say he dies of a drug overdose or AIDS no more than 10 years after he leaves “office”

The current resident of the White House cannot prove he is an American citizen. He continually works to bring the USA to its knees. If there is a person out there that offs him...que sera sera.

Apparently the Director of the SS was appointed ONLY because she is a Woman.

She also worked at Disney as one of the characters.

In short, she’s a token.

Obamas Mother In Law could probably do a better job.

Me too. In a mental institution or a prison.

If they feel that way they should quit and write a book.
