Report: Secret Service strained to protect Obama
Seems everyone is running low on resources nowadays.
An internal congressional report questioning the ability of the Secret Service to continue fulfilling its duties was leaked to the Boston Globe. The report says the Secret Service is strained by a drastic increase in threats to President Obama, coupled with deep budget cuts. Some are speculating that the agency may need to relinquish all or part of its roles in protecting the country's financial machinery in order to focus resources on the protection of the president and other high-profile leaders.
The report, issued in August by the Congressional Research Service, claimed that if "an evaluation of the service's two missions" were to be done at this time, there's a good possibility that "it might be determined that it is ineffective...to conduct its protection mission and investigate financial crimes." Additionally, an anonymously quoted government official said that many inside the halls of Congress and within the Secret Service itself are questioning whether or not the agency's effectiveness wouldn't be enhanced by transferring some of its responsibilities regarding the investigation of financial crimes over to the Treasury Department.

Yes, maybe if the Secret Service wasn't being used for:
- purse snatchings (Bernanke's wife's purse)

Maybe they'd actually have time to guard the president.
Oh, wait, they were created to suppress counterfeit currency, so scratch what I said about having time to guard the president and add it to the list...
well if something happens
we know the reason is because they didnt throw enough money at the problem. And they will "fix" the problem by throwing money at it.
Sounds to me
like Geithner wants all the financial crimes oversight under his purview, so that he can make sure that his buddies get away with murder and he can "not notice" it.
So let me get this straight...
The Secret Service, created as an agency of the Treasury Department to prosecute the counterfeiting of U.S. notes, securities, and current coin, has been saddled with the role of also protecting the President and other dignitaries. And now that we have a foreigner usurping the office of president that is attempting to ram communism down our throats, the SS boys can't protect him as well AND fulfill their primary mission, so the answer is to have them transfer their primary mission to someone else?
I don't think so Tim. That dog won't hunt. I smell a rat. Something is not being discussed here. There must be a hidden elephant in this room somewhere.
I didn't realize that is why the Secret Service was created.
Glad you said that. I had to change my post above.
Thanks for that tidbit. :)

Let the Obamabots protect him

Perhaps they could cut out the "date nights" and

Please , we do not need
Please , we do not need another crisis..
Good people do Good deeds
Good people make it happen
Agreed, this is the last thing we want.
Chaos will ensue.
And I don't want to see that communist turned into a martyr.
Can't we just have him proven to be ineligible and kick his pinko butt out?
I'd much rather that, or at least have him defeated politically on the issues, or both, but he needs to not be harmed physically. That is just stupid.
Aww, poor things...
get me a natural born president who's not a mass murderer and I'll worry about whether he's protected or not.
Maybe the Secret Service can request some "chump change" from Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, et. al., to protect their president.
OR
Maybe he can stop bombing Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. It's a thought.
