Has Obama Offered Secret Service Protection To The Palins Yet?
Vanity ^ | 10 January 2011 | Windflier

Has the Obama White House reached out to Sarah Palin and her family with an offer of Secret Service protection yet?

I realize that none of us are in a position to answer that question, but I thought I'd bring up the subject, given the fact that the leftstream media has all but convicted her of accessory to murder with their "reports" on the Gabrielle Giffords shooting.

If the White House hasn't offered protection to the Palin family by now, it's going to soon become a serious indictment of their tacit acceptance of the threats now posed to her and her family.

Durbin, Dupnik and many others deliberately are placing Sarah Palin and her family in danger. These are very evil people exploiting the murders of innocents for political gain. They are scum.

Of course she deserves protection, no one is threatening these scumball liberals. Only conservatives have been targeted.

Nah, he told Barbara Walters that he doesn’t even think about Sarah Palin.

Can Obama even do that if he wanted to? Secret Service, the Marshals etc, IIRC, have their own fields. I sure hope that Alaska State Police or local ones are parked by Palin’s house though.

Not sure if that’d fly. Although Sarah is in the public eye she’s no longer an elected official. It’d be like offering SS protection to Rush Limbaugh. I don’t think even US Marshall’s can provide protection since they go after federal lawbreakers. So I’m thinking she’d have to hire a private protection service.

Since she is not officially running for anything yet, why would she be offered secret service protection?

I missed the weather forecast today.

Is there an unseasonable cold front going through Hell this week?

Of course you are kidding, right? Why would he protect what will probably be the main reason he is thrown out of the White House in 2012?

There’s a FB page “Kill Sarah Palin”. I hit “Abuse” on it after another Freeper pointed it out. Do you think they’ll remove it? I don’t.

I don’t think the President can or should be able to just “decide” that someone needs SS protection.

The only Secret Service agents he’d offer to the Palins would be “made.” One of the Palins could end up missing or dead. I wouldn’t trust anything coming from 0bama.

The mission of the United States Secret Service is to safeguard the nation's financial infrastructure and payment systems to preserve the integrity of the economy, and to protect national leaders, visiting heads of state and government, designated sites and National Special Security Events.

Sarah is a Private citizen. She is on her own - or we have a case where the President can 'gift' Secret Service to whomever he wishes.

Just imagine, celebrities can get a huge "Status Symbol" of taxpayer financed Secret Service instead of hiring their own securitity guards. No room for corruption there, huh?

No. Like a typical White person, she has to sit in the back of the bus now.

The liberal gasbags like Clyburn pontificating about how it is “society’s” responsibility to stop such acts

Should be asked what “they” are doing or intend to do - or what “society” can do - about guys like this “Jason Brown”

http://patterico.com/2010/03/25/leftist-issues-death-threats-to-palin-and-family-on-twitter/

Or where is “Hawk” these days and who he was working for when he video-stalked Palin last summer (note his creepy voice....eeeww)

It isn’t up to Obama to offer such protection. Who gets Secret Service protection and when is a matter of law, not presidential directive. Palin and her family are private citizens and she is not a presidential nominee.
