Obama Signs Law Giving Himself Armed Guards For Life

By Clash Daily / 12 January 2013 / 36 comments

Screen Shot 2013-01-12 at 2.54.07 PM Former presidents have to give up rides on Air Force One. But now they don’t have to give up being shadowed by the armed-and-earpieced bodyguards of the Secret Service.

President Barack Obama on Thursday signed into a law a measure giving him, George W. Bush and future former presidents and their spouses lifetime Secret Service protection, the White House announced.

The legislation, crafted by Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, rolls back a mid-1990s law that imposed a 10-year limit on Secret Service protection for former presidents. Bush would have been the first former commander in chief affected.

Double standards for those who think more highly of themselves than they ought.

Hypocrite alert!!!!

Ayatollah Obummer is, I believe, going to need that armed guard for life, and he certainly fears for his own. Interestingly enough, while his two daughters each have a Secret Service agent with them to, during, and from school, which 11 armed guards of it’s own, as most of the students at the Friends School are the children of political and economic bigshots. But he doesn’t think armed guards in other people’s schools for their kids is needed. HYPOCRITE!! He is the first president to travel from Des Moines, Iowa to any other place in the state, as he did from here to Grinnell, on I-80 east of Des Moines. That should tell you all you need to know about how concerned the Secret Service is for his safety. Now, if he’ll just get drunk enough to fall down some stairs like Clinton did, and break his neck….Oh Happy Day!!

Well, heck! If OUR guns are taken away from us, why in the world would any politician need armed guards. I mean, there would be no one out there who could hurt them, right? Give me a break. Hypocrites, every one of the ‘get their guns’ ilk! But, as we know, this is no surprise. Congress and the Prez is not subject to many of the laws that are pushed on us. They don’t have to deal with Obama care, apparently don’t HAVE to pay taxes (judging by the # that don’t, live within a budget. Run them all out of office, and let’s start over!

    Shouldn’t it be that he knows someone or other likes him? I surely don’t like this imposter. I want to see a certified BC! And why he was granted Foreign Exchange Student Status!

      I want to see an impeachment for treason and accessory to murder. Then a trial, then a conviction, then a hanging. There’s plenty of cause, but a decided lack of spine in congress.

    I’m with you, Elizabeth. He’s created a lot of hatred of himself. Not all women are conned by this piece of crap.

  All the passes these Representatives get makes them out of touch with the hurt they put on us the people, we need to repeal any and all the free bee’s they get and make it a one term limit and you are back with the bunch of us, this would make them unlikely they would pose a tax or even a pay raise if they knew they could not be the one to benefit from it as it goes out to those who follow. The pay for life is a strain on our budget after all they are looking at Social Security as a source of spending cash that need not be addressed. They have stolen $1.5 Trillion from the account for pork projects, had the money remained intact and accreud interest it would be nearly $50 Trillion after 60 years of growth.
  We are looking for a Senator that will stand for the people and stop this mad penman from writing us into servitude. Where is Seals team Six when you need them; we don’t care they dispose of the fodder mocker.

WHY would anyone even want to protect that pos??
WHY is he still breathing??
Timothy G Reynolds

The name “Nimrod” comes to mind when I think of this mentally challenged buffoon that is currently our (and I use the term loosely) President. I am so ashamed of this country and what it has done to us for another 4 years. The government schools have finally shown results after all of the dumbing-down that has occurred over the last 5 decades. We have an incompetent President, a radical leftist Senate and a majority of the population that wouldn’t know the U.S.Constitution from a roll of toilet paper.

In the words of Forrest Gump; “Stupid is as stupid does”. The political winds of this country are blowing “stupid” like a hurricane!!! Congress is the only shelter we have left in the storm….. Hail Publius!
BJean

What an ass. We the American people are being taken to the cleaners by this Jerk in Chief. He wants to take away our gun rights but keep armed guards 24-7 for the rest of his unnatural life. It’s shameful.
Nadia

More money wasted. Congress should not fund this wasteful edict

  Let obamy pay for this protection out of his OWN salary. Whys should we the people pay for his and families protection for the rest of our lives? Wonder if George Washington had that coverage for himself or his family? What about other presidents? Give US(A) a break….. We are not Fort Knox…. And why should we pay for someone that STOLE the election (ILLEGAL).

Politicos should not be able to grant themselves benefits or enact legislation that does.

Any increase in the already bloated payouts to these greedy bastards should not be retroactive, but take effect for those chosen in the next election to the office.

I always think of Gowdyas one of the “good guys”… Surprised to see him sponsor something like this.

May he choke to death on a water melon seed or a chicken bone.

NoMoreMarxistsInDC

I guess you people haven’t figured it out yet. Trey Gowdy is a RINO as are most of the establishment politicians. They are all working together to undermine the rest of us, for their own profit and gain, and power.
Robert Gunther

So it’s evident by this executive order, Obama does not
believe the crap he and his advisory team/ cabinet are trying to push on the
American People. “Stricter gun laws will prevent violence”

He realizes that he cannot keep firearms out of the hands of
criminals/ criminally insane with stricter gun laws only the honest citizens of
this great country.

Again praying on the ignorant for his agenda and votes like
all the other politicians, Cuomo, Bloomberg…

Wakeup people see the lite and get these control freak politicians
out of office and replaced with constitutional upholding abiding ones which put
America first and not their own pockets.

Is he really that afraid of us?

  No.

There is a quick fix for this expense, the “For Life”, the expense will go away if one of his armed guards puts a few ounces of lead in his diet,

Apparently he is smarter that we have given him credit for.

Did Monkeybutt Obumbler include security coverage for him if he’s outside the US, cause he, and most of our politweasels and bureaurats, have hidden bank accounts and a place overseas picked out to run to when the shooting war starts.

Obama is pathetic. I am so outraged by anyone so selfish to have voted for this “Trojan Horse”. All tyrants have these double standards, in their favor. Nuts.
Cheryl

He knows how much he’s hated!
watchdogman

Does the A/H also get an armored car too? I am pretty sure he knows he definitely is going to need protection for life…But give him only 10 years like all other past prez and be done with this leach!
caskinner

Just tells me he will become more like a dictator and more arrogant. He is on a roll now. This fraud will only get worse.
Michael Cichy

I believe that he needs protection for life… Leavenworth is the perfect place to “protect” him until he meets up with the noose. He is a communist and a TRAITOR. He watched while our ambassador was murdered and did nothing. He then tries to cover it up. Nixon did a lot less, and he resigned to spare the country the embarrassment of an impeachment, unlike Clinton, another communist .

Waste of good money I know this negro knows he will need it. I hate to be guarding this negro if someone really wants him it will happen.

The Sandy Hook Massacre

The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away:

"Doug Giles and his team over at ClashDaily.com cut through the crap to expose what have become modern day human slaughter houses: gun free zones. Their candid arguments about allowing teachers to protect themselves and the students in their care through concealed carry should be taken seriously. As a result maybe, just maybe, we’ll be able to save some lives someday rather than call the cops to report the body count." - Katie Pavlich. News Editor,Townhall.com and NYT's Best-selling Author, Fast and Furious: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Cover-Up

"There were many lessons to draw from the horrific Newtown, CT school shooting. Unfortunately, most of the media and political Left came up with the wrong ones. But not Doug Giles and his writers over at ClashDaily.com. In the wake of this horror, they offered a robust defense of American citizens' right to bear arms and common sense answers to societal violence. The Sandy Hook Massacre: When Seconds Count, the Police are Minutes Away is a great resource for those interested in this vital, Constitutional issue." - S.E.
