Some Blacks See Secret Service as Flawed Shield for the President
The New York Times ^ | October 2, 2014 | Peter Baker

Representative Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland was at the grocery store the other day when he ran into an elderly black woman who expressed growing concern about President Obama’s safety. Why, she asked, wasn’t he being better protected by his Secret Service agents?

The furor that led to this week’s resignation of the director of the Secret Service resonated deeply among blacks, outraged that those supposed to be guarding the first black president were somehow falling down on the job — and suspicious even without evidence that it may be deliberate.

“It is something that is widespread in black circles,” said Representative Emanuel Cleaver II of Missouri, who like Mr. Cummings is an African-American Democrat who has been approached repeatedly by voters expressing such a concern....

I think the problem wasn’t the woman’s incompetence (although that may have been part of it) as her inability to resist orders from the White House. The vulnerabilities arose from decisions made either by Obama or his close associates.

Because nobody in their right mind would want to make a
martyr of that ass clown fool. He is the safest president
in American history simply by being absolutely worthless.

HEY BLACKS!

Every department of the Executive Branch is now fatally flawed. That's because your savior has filled the bureaucracies with moronic political hacks (socialists).

So the OTB (Other Than Black) folks should be concerned, too.

SlowJoe may be an idiot, but it’s a good bet he’s not a Marxist traitor.

Maybe the agents thought since Obama didn’t care how well the S.S. was run, why should they...?


Moochelle is a racist - loud and proud of it. That would make you not care so much if you are not a racist or even dislike racists.

“And Friday it was reveled that a man posing as a member of Congress accessed a backstage area during or after a speech made by Obama at a Congressional Black Caucus event last week, according to Bloomberg.”

I blame this crap on every white person who voted for that POS BO out of “ white guilt”

Amen.

Add to that the liberals who knew/know he's incompetent and would rather have an incompetent and dangerous (D) rather than a capable (R).

Allegedly, Franklin Roosevelt once said of him: “Somoza may be a son-of-a-bitch, but he's our son-of-a-bitch,” although there is little direct proof of this quote, it certainly fits FDR.

I don’t recall all their concern when President Reagan was shot.

I have actually wondered if this is a set-up for him to officially have the Black Pampers as his body guard.

Some racist whites probably see the blacks bammy has surrounded himself with as a problem for security, too. But I could care less what racists think - the white ones and the black ones.

So do I the first time around, but the 2nd time the blame lays directly at the feet of those that would NOT vote for Romney BECAUSE of some principle.....of course they didn’t mind the Principle of Obama, in fact they must have LOVED him.
