Senator Barack Obama, whose crowds at political rallies across the country have often numbered in the thousands, was placed under Secret Service protection yesterday, a spokesman for the agency said.
Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff, authorized the protection for Mr. Obama after consulting with a Congressional advisory committee that reviews security for presidential hopefuls. The decision to assign agents to Mr. Obama, nearly nine months before voting begins in the Democratic primaries for president, is the earliest the Secret Service has ever issued a security detail to a candidate.

Heck no! Trump is a peasant, not a political elite!
With what the US government has become, would Trump dare trust the SS?
No and we all know that.Next question
Thanks for the *reminder*.
If Trump is offed by a drug dealer, will white people riot?
> Will Obama authorize SS protection for Trump now that he has been threatened by the worlds most capable criminal?
More like sent out the staged shootings units to carry out a little different type of detail on all of the serious Republican candidates. Ialso probably a new NSA unit has been created to spy on every one of them to hand tthe goods toHitlery to ensure that she gets elected. She’s probably who he wants to pass the ball to so she can continue with the dismantling of the United States.
Given the poor performance and immoral proclivities of the SecServ under Obama, I’d think Trump is far better off with his own private security.
With what the US government has become, would Trump dare trust the SS?
That’s for sure. I wouldn’t trust this Criminal Regime.
Trusting Obama is like trusting Stalin.
Ha!
Fat freaking chance. Obama is going to email El Chapo Trump's schedule for the next 2 weeks, and offer him Camp David until the heat cools in Mexico, if...
You are correct about why Bush did what he did and that he was correct to do it.
It might hurt Trumps image to have SS protection!
Yep, Trump is now under a clear death threat from the Mexican cartels, and so what’s good for Obama should be good for Trump or any other Republican candidate in similar circumstances.
Why do you wish to keep making the same mistakes? //sarc
They knew he was slated to become president.
I read that as:
Trusting Obama is like trusting Satan.
Well let’s see if Trump would want it. 0bama has politicized and weaponized the IRS, DOJ, FBI, CIA etc etc. so it would probably cross Trump’s mind that there might be a potential snoop or assassin?
And wouldn’t it be typical of 0bama to put in a fixer among the honorable members of the secret service.
Obama and his Democrats and their Republican Party collaborators (aka "The UniParty") must be overjoyed at this news.
Maybe that was because he had already anointed himself as 'President Elect' .
