Snipers now too ? Are there pics of the snipers ? I’m at work, and don’t click on too many links.

Expect Obama SWAT teams at a church, get together, political rally, etc... near you. Coming soon? Nope already here I guess.

Obama thugs, Chicago style politics, he is a loser dipshit.

There was a Tea Party rally in Quincy, Illinois...the same Tea Party that has been written off as a bunch of yahoos and assigned motives that are less than respectful. Even the president has scoffed at them and spoken of them with what would appear to be an arrogant contempt, even making fun of them – the very people he is supposed to be leading. Now, Team Obama has called out a swat team in full riot gear to keep those pesky Tea Party patriots from violent protests. No, this has not been Photshopped.

I haven’t followed the story that closely but given the politically charged climate and risk of violent leftists and/or jihadists showing up to a Tea Party, the security precautions may have been prudent albeit chilling.

Same thing with the VFW —he said they were potential terrorists.

The man is considerably angrier than most folks realize, and I think there is a small chance that he is a Muslim.

Obama & his minion are going to spill our blood before this is over and blame it on us. Count on it.

A friend of mine has had to deal with the Secret Service, the FBI, and other federal agents on occasion. She works at the state hospital for those with mental problems and delusions.

Sometimes a patient writes a letter that the various agencies feel must be followed up. She said that most aren't too intimidating, except for the Secret Service dudes.

The Secret Service(SS) has an obligation to protect the President even to take a bullet for him. They do not want an assassination on their watch and are very focused without any apparent humor on their task.

They know that one lone looney in a crowd of otherwise peaceful granny's and grandpa's could succeed. They are paid to assume the worst, and protect the president.

And just remember, the 60’s radicals are now grannys and grandpas. We do not know how many are unrepentant, and still dedicated to their cause.

From what I read yesterday, the SS insisted on calling in the police, and move the people across the street from the building where the President was speaking, and onto the sidewalk.

The most radical of the left wingers are upset with Obama’s policy's,(too slow, and not radical enough) and they are the ones who would be likely to assassinate him, and to blame it on the T parties would be a big bonus for them.

From the viewpoint of the SS, any large crowd, who has not been vetted, is a threat no matter how peaceful they may appear.

Their vigilance is also a protection for the T Party in a way, because if an infiltrator can't accomplish anything, then the T Parties can't be blamed.

I don't want to see US cities burn, and I do think there could be massive riots if anything happened to Obama. So while it looks like overkill to me, from the SS point of view, it is a necessary precaution.

Like one of the T party guys said on the sharp video, Yeh, but I wouldn't argue with them.
