Perhaps they need more firepower:

First Daughter Barbara Bush had her purse and cell phone stolen as she had dinner in a restaurant in Buenos Aires, Argentina, even though she was being guarded by a detail of Secret Service agents, according to law enforcement reports made available to ABC News.
It was not the only mishap on the two-week trip to Argentina by Barbara (right) and her twin sister Jenna (left).
A Secret Service agent on the advance detail got into an "altercation" with someone after a night out and was badly beaten, according to the law enforcement reports. The Secret Service said today the incident was an attempted mugging that occurred while the agent was on his own time. The agent is doing fine.
The purse snatching took place on Barbara's first night in town while she was dining in the picturesque San Telmo neighborhood. According to the reports, the Secret Service agents failed to notice the incident.
The Secret Service would not comment on the purse snatching, and the First Lady’s office said they would not comment on any personal trip made by the daughters. There have been recent reports, however, that Jenna Bush has been living and working in Panama as an intern for UNICEF.
1. Barbara Bush gets robbed
2. Secret Service agent gets beaten up
3. Three Secret Service motorcycles crash
4. White House staffer beaten and robbed in Wikiki
What in the heck is going on?!?!?
Democrass flexing their muscles?
Maybe the other guy was Chuck Norris? ;^)
FWIW, that is not a "robbery". It was a heist. It was a purse snatching. The headline makes it seem as if she was held up.
"Jenna appears to be a bit, ummm, chilly"
Which one is Jenna?
Sorry, that would be Barbara who looks to be a bit chilly. Twins...
Perhaps they need more firepower:
It's kind of ironic, a Bush works for the UN and a Clinton works for an investment banking firm.
Uhh...
Aren't we violating a rule here?
I read it, and thought it was interesting. :-)
Dad better change his number.
"They" have the power to do that very quickly. A friend was personal friends with one of Bush's original cabinet appointees...he gave her his "secret number" (which his secretary told him NOT to do) and in a few minutes my friend got a call simply telling her that the number she was given was no longer in service
I do not find this funny at all!!
What the F....is going on???You can't protect the First Family? this is just disgusting!
Then keep the girls at home till Bush serves his term. maybe they think its okay for them to be just "like any other young girls" but THEY AREN'T!!!
If they are not going to join the military, how about just behaving and staying safe till your dad leaves the White House? I am really getting tired of these little princesses!
that liberal site is just like a porn site. Once you get in, pop ups keep, ah, popping up and it's near impossible to escape.
It also amazes me that conservatives are called the intolerant ones. Reading some of the trash on the liberal site tells me THEY ARE intolerant.
That's what it's called in Argentina.
Liberals are more than just intolerant, they're friggin' Stalinists. They can't even handle a debate and if they can have you shut down by burning emails to a "moderator" they will.
Is the Secret Service just full of idiots??? The other year the detail that guards Cheney left sensitive documents in a store. By "sensitive" I mean the entire route Cheney was taking!
A rapper has a better security detail. Christ.
Also...Federico: "Those that want to harm you/steal from you don’t come with a pirate flag waving over their heads." Federico: I have lived in Buenos Aires my entire life... Federico: security has become a bigger issue in the last few years, but the last time I've been robbed I was 13 years old
Federico: "you could see rats running around the piles of garbage" Federico: hahahha Federico: I've never seen a rat in my entire life (I swear) Federico: (only in a pet shop... those little white ones
I hope they don't get the bright idea to go to Sao Paulo either. Nordeste Brasil is safer around Bahia on the beach. They're probably in SA because it's summer there.
Dad and mom should tell them they're stupid once in a while.
;-)
girl?
