Obama assassination bid fears - aircraft carriers on standby off Irish coast during G8 summit
@Press Eye Ltd Northern Ireland - 17th June 2013 - Mandatory Credit - Brian Little/ Presseye --- Culture Minister Carl N Chuiln and Minister for Education, John O'Dowd MLA waiting for US President Barack Obama during his visit to the Waterfront Hall, Belfast ahead of the G8 Summit in County Fermanagh.

It is understood that a contingency plan is in place for the unlikely event that an attempt would be made on the Presidents life.
The Secret Service also have diplomatic immunity which will allow them to shoot to kill a would-be assassin without fear of prosecution.
As part of the evacuation route plan, they would be able to spirit the President by chopper to one of the carriers where a jet is on standby to take him back to the United States.
A source said: It sounds like James Bond stuff but the Americans treat the personal protection of their President with the utmost seriousness.
They have plans in place for all possible incidents, despite how unlikely they might seem or how much security is already in place.....

BTW, can you figure out from the picture which one is Carl and which one is John? I'm stumped! :)

what good is a FRIGGIN AIRCRAFT CARRIER going to do him???????Exactly. If there really is an assassination fear, then just get the Secret Service to lay of the prosties for a couple nights and protect him. This is weird.

He can't share a lobster salad lunch with a Congressional Committee because he didn't bring his "food tester" with him...
Banquets that he attends require the replacement of all the silverware with plastic sporks...
He attends a international conference and an aircraft carrier must be stationed nearby to receive him, just in case...
Has there ever been another President who demanded this level of security? Not even der Schlickmeister thought in such grandiose terms about his own personal safety...

I don’t care who the US President is - if I were the ruler of any country, I would say forget it - we don’t want a Presidential visit.

Not even his greatest detractor in the US would wish harm on Bammy! Physical harm? HELL NO!
Impeachment? Now we're talking.

After reducing our military to not more than a volunteer police force, how serious would an attack on dear leader be?
If I were him I would be more concerned about having a good selection and variety of food tasters. For example, how effective will a Navy jet be “after the fact”?

I suggest that Obozo acted stupidly allowing the four men to die in Benghazi. Two of those men could have provided a large measure of security for Obozo were they alive today.

Nobody in their right mind would want to assassinate 0bama...that is in their right mind. Not the jihadis, right wing conservatives, or anyone else I can think of. No, we want him alive. No martyrdom for this marxist, just an orange jump suit.

After all, he is the Pres—ent! He isn’t just some smuck ambassador in Benghazi! Heavy /S

Too late. The Irish have been bombed since 262 A.D. (and yes, I'm Irish, so please, no cards and letters on that...)

Give me a break !!!
Foreign assassins would like to kill our Dear Leader as much as they would want to go to the trouble and expense to kill Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein.
Why not off Obama? Because Obama is the most useful guy on the sides of our enemies, that's why.

Bambi has got to be the most paranoid president ever. I thought Nixon had that title, but Obama has surpassed him many times over.

I’d think that Obama would feel safer around all of his Europeon socialist friends.

Anyone that thinks we wish harm to Obama needs to think of the following two words.
