Unacceptable. Must get this fixed and in a hurry.
Doesn't matter if you voted for him or like him, he is our president. |

This just outrageous. I mean, I saw a movie which was a fictionalized documentary about the assassination of GWB. As you know, I was not a fan. Movie sent chills down my spine. _________________ “It took many years of vomiting up all the filth I’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before I was able to walk on the earth as though I had a right to be here.”

I hope you're joking. I have a feeling you are not. You need some serious reflection if that is the case. _________________ “It took many years of vomiting up all the filth I’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before I was able to walk on the earth as though I had a right to be here.”

So, someone got way too close on the White House lawn... and someone else was armed with him in an elevator. Freaking insane and unacceptable. How does that even happen? Ridiculous.
...but now you're also telling me nut jobs plan to get to him by using a bomb in a bull? |

A king deserves more protection than the POTUS? Do you live in the US? |
It would make sense that a king would get over the top ridiculous protection along with people thinking that his life was the most valuable there is. Monarchies are stupid and archaic of course, but it would make sense under that system. Why have a democracy if we're just going to treat the executive as if he were the most precious life there is? This is just proof of how much people really crave some high and mighty mucketymuck to kneel to and worship. |

How about protecting the life of the person responsible for much of what goes on the world today. The United States is a world leader.
Our government is set up to protect those who run it. Congressmen, Senators, officials of that ilk are also protected.
We don't kneel and worship our leaders, you're in another world.

Don't you think that one of the most important tenants of a democracy is that the people get to choose their leaders, and when the people have done so, one person taking matters into his own hands and overruling the people's choice is anathema to that process? |
