Here is an interesting article about Obama's Secret Service escorting him with guns drawn. Apparently they see some imminent threat to Obama, no doubt from right-wing extremists. There are a lot of people in middle America that the Obama Administration regards as right-wing extremists. That no doubt includes any Southerner or Texan who owns a gun, which is most of them. I wonder how long it will be before Obama gets himself an additional personal protection outfit. All dictators have such an organization that is loyal to them rather than the state. Mussolini had Blackshirts and Hitler had Brownshirts. Maybe Obama will call his Blueshirts.
