I remember distinctly that Clinton had a two mile barrier fence put up around the White House, gee didn't hear the ACLU complaining then. This is an absolute conspiracy that we are seeing right now by the radicals of this country to destroy Bush's Presidency.

I see. If Clinton did it, it's ok.

gee didn't hear the ACLU complaining then.

FReepers comlained then, ACLU was silent.
ACLU complains now, FReepers are silent.

Two sides of the same coin.

Did they only let supporters inside the barrier? Or was everyone keep behind the barrier?

The ACLU is making a complaint that people are being located in different locations near the President based on the content of their message. That is the issue. Any safety concerns that are applied to all persons, for or against the President would not be questioned. It is the idea that the Content of the Message somehow constitutes a threat warranting the different treatment by the SS.
