and this means?????

You don't know? Some of mccain's followers have been shouting violent threats (stuff like "kill him") from the audience at both palin and mccain campaign speeches...no wonder, considering that the two are practically inciting the crowd.

All kind of bad guys out there.
US major assets always need double body guard protection.

So what's new about that?

>> and this means?????

I think it is blatantly obvious that they need more security for Obama than any candidate who has ever run. He is the most extreme candidate who has ever run for the presidency, he is black, and he is divisive. There are a lot of crazies in this country who don't understand that the political process is our most valuable attribute. Nobody wants to think it or say it, but the reality is that everyone knows he is taking a great risk. Hillary said it and stepped in it when she did.

Obama will destroy this country. There is little doubt about that. But an attack against him would, too -- the great thing about America is that can disagree about politics without getting physical. When we have an election, half the people are unhappy about it, but we let the political process work.

I have a great deal of confidence in the Secret Service's ability. Since the last attempt on a president, they have greatly increased their ability to deal with the crowds. I suspect anyone foolish enough to make an attempt on Obama would be met with a very swift and harsh response.
