chutem 0 #8 June 24, 2012 QuoteNope, spoons only. This sounds like the perfect opportunity for the "spork" people to cash in. Do they do this with all groups or is it just Hispanics with forks/table knives the President fears? James Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #9 June 24, 2012 QuoteDo they do this with all groups or is it just Hispanics with forks/table knives the President fears? 1) The President doesn't make these decisions. The Secret Service does. The President almost has no say whatsoever in the matter. 2) President Obama has little to "fear" from hispanics. His approval rating, even before the last couple of weeks, was about 2/3rds. Nice try though.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #11 June 24, 2012 QuoteStill means he has to worry about 33%. Then what percentage does Romney need to worry about? No. If 33% of any population doesn't "approve" it doesn't mean they're out to kill you with forks.

I don't recall Romney ever feeling the need to take forks away from hispanics. It doesn't take 33% of the population to stab you with a fork. It only takes one person. It would be pretty symbolic if it happened. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has had Secret Service protection for quite a while. So , yes, he has done fund raisers with them providing security. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/01/exclusive-mitt-romney-to-receive-secret-service-protection/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although, I understand he was invited to speak by the NAACP. We'll have to watch and see if the SS takes their forks away. I wonder if they were trying to protect Obama from hispanics or the hispanics from each other? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davjohns 1 #21 June 24, 2012 I saw another article about how the Vietnam Memorial was shut down for hours while POTUS was to give a speech on Memorial Day. I wonder if the SS was this protective previously or if they consider him more likely to be a target than past Presidents.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know of any Vietnam Vets who are fond of Obama. Quite the contrary, in fact. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #23 June 24, 2012 I think it's safe to say every President is a pretty big target, but this one in particular, I believe, probably has had more threats and especially when you consider the noise some ill advised members of the Tea Party repeated about watering trees while at the same time showing up to various rallies visibly armed. The Secret Service does a top notch job as far as I'm concerned. It's a wonder any President can go anywhere in public. I can't even imagine that amount of responsibility. I don't think it's a wonder some of the team blows off a little steam every now and then when doing some advance work. Crazy business.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gravitymaster 0 #24 June 24, 2012 I don't think any President will ever match the vitriol and complete disrespect that Bush was shown from left-wingers. I have no idea how many death threats were made agaist him from the loonies on the left but my guess is there were quite a few. I don't hear the hate against Obama, rising to the same degree as it did with Bush. With Obama it's more about getting him out of office and less about killing him. In fact I think Obama has more to fear from left-wing groups who think he has abandon them than he does from lunatic right-wingers IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
