Though I personally can barely stand the sight of our new "Dear Leader". I certainly don't want him to be a martyr which will mean we will have to endure yearly televised weepfests and faux documentaries on how the man who could have saved America was cut down in the prime of his life and on and on and on till we all we projectile vomit

Secret Service do your job: Save American from the martyr statues or pictures of Obama on every street corner

More bothered by illegal aliens crashing the USA. Politicians getting a taste of their own medicine equal just deserts

They can plead down to theft by deception if they ate or drank anything.

Give me time...I’ll think up more charges.

Plus rename every school, park, and boulevard in the USA after him!

“Barack Hussein Obama Middle School, Bumflick, New Jersey”.

Airports, too.

the real point is this...what if the indian pm had been assaulted...

This is one angle that I (frustratingly) haven't seen addressed in the news - not only can't we protect our own president but we host a foreign head of state and can't even keep unwanted (and potentially very dangerous) guests out of the room. Nice job, SS.

I wouldn’t want to be the director of the Secret Service right now. He might want to be dusting off his resume.

That kind of result seems to be out of style now. If George Tenet didn't have to dust off his resume on 9/12/01, this guy probably doesn't have to worry.

Things could really spin out of control on the Indo/Paki border. At the least the U.S. and India would have ice cold relations for a long time to come.

I recently read, “In the President’s Secret Service: Behind the Scenes with Agents in the Line of Fire and the Presidents They Protect” by Ronald Kessler, and if what Mr. Kessler is saying is correct, this is only the beginning. The Secret Service is underfunded, undermanned, and so stretched that the agents don’t have time to do the training needed to do their job well. It’s actually a very good read and upsetting at the same time.

I’m surprised he didn’t bow to them.

Shouldn’t the Bummer have been clued in on his teleprompter that “this person is: [blank]”

Bush was not a hasty one to pin blame. The Democrats are made of a different sort of stuff.

With this administration, I just can’t help feeling that barry was in on the “reality tv” joke?

Two agents working together would make it a slam dunk. Unlike most Soviet agents today’s enemies have no problem dying “for the cause.” Even better, “give us a show trial.”

I sorta had thoughts along that direction too... What if this was on purpose to fire the Secret Service and bring in their own security?

Somehow, Secret Service needs to stay in charge of OUR nation’s pResident whoever he is. To bring in another security team would REALLY keep Obama away from the American people.

Course, part of me wants to think it was a “trial run”

I’ve done this myself.* It probably happens all the time. Though mine was way before 9/11.
