Call me jaded and suspicious but why is the public being informed about this? Shouldn’t this be kept somewhat quiet for his protection? I just fear that some nut job will think they can hurt him since his protection is being ended.

I am glad that the Obama campaign and
NBC News, same thing, are so scrupulous about saving the taxpayer's money!

There is NO legitimate reason to make this public.

Hog Wash. Jimmy Carter gave up his SS protection years ago.
That was made public, as well.
Carter is still around.

Team Soros (Obama and Romney and Soros) have

Now they can get back to more important things, like hiring hookers and not paying them.

You got to wonder about Obama’s motivations for ending Newt's Secret Service protection and making it public with the MSM.

“Carter is still around.”
Some might argue that THAT is a damn shame.
But wait, Carter likes Romney, so maybe he’s now a conservative.

They already tried with the penguin! You think that was just a coincidence? If the Secret Service hadn’t gotten in between Newt and that penguin, he would have been torn to pieces! LOL

Something is not right about the $40000/day figure. That would be enough to pay a $200000 yearly salary to 73 people.
