I agree with ya. And you know our Marines would deem it a high honor to do so.
The President needs to start traveling, at least in foreign countries (including visiting the UN), with a Marine Expeditionary Unit along for the trip (probably does that already), but also a fully loaded out platoon in close attendance. >>>>>>>>>
And I dare any Chiliean security scrum to put his hands on a Marine in uniform protecting the President like that.
Maybe he already does and we just don't realize it. I'm sure he does everything necessary to take care of those travelling with him; he cares about their (especially Laura's) safety more than his own!
