WASHINGTON — Representative Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland was at the grocery store the other day when he ran into an elderly black woman who expressed growing concern about President Obama’s safety. Why, she asked, wasn’t he being better protected by his Secret Service agents?
The furor that led to this week’s resignation of the director of the Secret Service resonated deeply among blacks, outraged that those supposed to be guarding the first black president were somehow falling down on the job — and suspicious even without evidence that it may be deliberate.
“It is something that is widespread in black circles,” said Representative Emanuel Cleaver II of Missouri, who like Mr. Cummings is an African-American Democrat who has been approached repeatedly by voters expressing such a concern. “I’ve been hearing this for some time: ‘Well, the Secret Service, they’re trying to expose the president.’ You hear a lot of that from African-Americans in particular.”
Both Mr. Cummings and Mr. Cleaver said that they did not believe the Secret Service lapses reported recently had anything to do with Mr. Obama’s race and that they had tried to dispel the notion among their constituents. But the profound doubts they have encountered emphasize the nation’s persistent racial divide and reflect an abiding fear for Mr. Obama’s security that has unnerved blacks still mindful of the assassinations of Malcolm X and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Isn’t like Obama himself a Secret Service Agent of a different sort?
In answer to your question, David is not necessarily a good friend, he works for my husband and has been a very loyal employee in many ways. There is much that bothers me about him, mostly his black extremism, his undying support of Obama and the race baiters, but I do not hesitate to call him on out on it.
The President is now a victim? Give me a break.
Not to mention ask yourself how drunk you would have to be to take a bullet for that POS. :-)
Maybe get the muslim brotherhood to protect him. After all he supports them.
I agree- but no reporter would dare ask him for details that could be checked
Like Joe Biden talking about having a conversation with a woman at a corner deli that had been closed for over 20 years...
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Yeah, just keep stirring that racial hatred pot.
This stupid article even starts with a lie in the first sentence:
Representative Elijah E. Cummings of Maryland was at the grocery store....

Like this race-baiting elitist ever goes to the grocery store.
The Secret Service’s problems of their own making. But IF they had help, it came from those already hostile to law enforcement i.e. race hustlers from Chicago.

And I would be willing to bet that the woman who just resigned as head of the USSS was an affirmative action hire.
My tin foil is tingling a lot lately, so I can’t help thinking that these stories about Obola’s security problems are all part of a plan to make some huge change that will help to consolidate even more power to the emperor.
I wouldn’t put it past Cummings to be one of the people who are fomenting the false narrative in the black community to get them angry and voting during the midterm election.

Bingo!
And, of course, we all believe that Cummings does his own grocery shopping. Probably went in there with Pelosi and Hillary.
and he has the most expensive chicago thug mobile on the planet 
Honestly, I imagine the moral is crappy and we lost some good men after that questionable hooker scandal in South America (was it real or was it to get rid of more patriotic and competent SS?). I imagine it is difficult to put your life on the line for an anti-american pathetic crap head.
