In recent years, former Presidents Nixon and George H W Bush declined Secret Service Protection.WhiteKnight77

I'm okay with this.

He wasn't assassinated though, so I don't see your point.

[QUOTE="Allicrombie"] and where's Nixon today?? That's right, he's compost for the Watergate's front lawn. =PAllicrombie

good stuff

Don't all ex-presidents have stuff like this?

This isn't new, the op is a moron.

So now that he found out Republicans drafted and passed the bill.

All of a sudden he doesn't have a problem with it? No longer concerned about the millions it spends?

I thought the secret service provided protection for past presidents. Maybe it expires, but I thought it was indefinite. Just not to the same level.

I always thought it was indefinite as well.

Yes.

This is a pointless thread.

Secret Service protects all American presidents and their families until they die.

don't know why he needs it, after all he's taking away everybody's guns and putting everyone in FEMA death camps, who would be left to kill him?lamprey263

Not those goddamn FEMA death camps again. Oh the humanity

This is pretty outrageous. His vacations cost the country millions of dollars due to the special arrangements needed for them, and now he does this. What does he think he has to fear that other presidents haven't? Currently a president only has to receive one "credible" threat a year to keep secret service protection beyond their 10-year allotment. That typically keeps presidents protected anyways, but he wants to make sure. Strange that he should do this.

I think it expires after a few years.

A man who is the face of the most poweful country in the world issues a law whereby his loved ones are kept safe is a bad thing? Have you guys not seen the nutcases in your country who have guns? If I were in his position I would want protection from the crazies.

All this thread proves, is that there are some who will always hate Obama and everything he does.

Which suggests he's going to need the protection he just enacted. Of course, crazy men with gun haven't let Secret Serice agent stop them from causing harm, in office or not.

Too bad neither you nor hartsick present any objective facts or reasoning.

There is so much taken out of context here, it's would almost be a waste of time to correct it. Luckily, most people already have.

He's the most threatened President in American History. It hardly seems strange....

I think we need a "stupidest poster thread"

My bet's on the op winning.

Obama is considering an executive order to force gun control onto the entire country.

All legislativePowersherein granted shall be vested ina Congressof theUnited States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.The Constitution

He is once again undermining the constitution and, consequently, our civil liberties.

What a horrible man, giving his daughters and wife protection for the rest of their lives, he should be ashamed of himself.

if he issues an executive order that is unconstitutional, it will be overturned in the courts. Abbeten

[QUOTE="worlock77"][QUOTE="Laihendi"] Obama is actively trying to infringe upon our right to bear arms, while signing a bill that will allow him to use the tax dollars of those whose rights he is infringing upon to buy armed security for life for himself.Laihendi

Nothing was said about restricting the second amendment. And even if Biden did say that it sounds like nothing more than Biden talking out of his ass again. Obama's smart enough to not attempt an executive order that would overturned by the courts in 5 minutes.
