That bothered me a lot, too, until I spoke with a guy I know who was
involved with security for the presidential visits to Iowa.

He explained that the security issues surrounding the president -- and
the
untold number of threats against him -- meant that the Secret Service
required that he be kept away from impromptu, unknown crowds as much as
possible.

That's no excuse. Having grown up in the Maryland suburbs of DC, I've
always been "aware" of Presidential security.

It was a very different situation then. After the two attacks on Ford,
Reagan in 1981 and the occurances during Clinton's term (the airplane and
the guy with the SKS) they HAVE to be more careful.

They were feeding you a
lie. It was a disgusting tactic for a political rally.

And you're full of ****.
