who else think an assassination attempt will happen in the next 4 years?

The whole world knows that Biden would be far more ratchet than Obama.

it is the ultimate failsafe.

Even so, private security firms will gladly raise their profile in protecting a former President such as Obama, so he will have no shortage of protection should he feel he needs it 10 years after his term.

and if something did... well, even i would toss my white collar to the side and it would be bustback time on these cacs.

honestly killing Obama would be the WORST thing to do. he becomes 10000x more powerful in death.​

Yup...he caved to the big banks, and certainly didn't go as far as we left-of-center folks would like. But when you stand back and look at it soberly, he accomplished a lot legislatively in terms of setting the groundwork for structural long-term change.

Healthcare reform, financial reform (it was weak but hopefully a starting point), the stimulus and the energy investments in it, race to the top, credit card reform, cutting the middleman out of student loans, saving the auto industry. That's one if the most accomplished first terms in history. And he did it with zero opposition party support during a massive recession.

But some stupid motherfukkers who post here say stuff like "he didn't accomplish shyt," Clinton made the economy good and he didn't, and "at least Bush sent me a check."

Literaly in 2 years he had more of an effect on America than Clinton and bush senior. As far as a net positive I mean he hasn't passed a single piece of legislation I don't agree with. There are countless things that he does that make me go but like you said, soberly this is a huge step in the right direction for progressivism.

Sad but true, I think a white democrat from the south would have a great progressive mandate and steal a lot of votes for the Democrats in 16, like John Edwards before the scandal would have been a problem.

I love how those 4 guys planned to take over the country

like everyone was gonna sit back like, "oh no they have guns, do what they say!"

These are the same idiots that always talk about revolting against the US government if they come to take away their "freedoms" that they pretend to love so much. These people seem to only value the freedom to talk about how much they love freedom and cry when they see a flag waving. If these folks were really that concerned about freedom, they'd have tried to storm the white house in 2003 when the PATRIOT Act was first passed, or when the Citizens United ruling was made, or for the fact that the drug was has been nothing but a money machine for war profiteers.

But that's not freedom to them. They see limitations of freedom coming in the forms of it being a social faux pas to use racial slurs openly, or when people complain about non-white actors being used to play the roles of white prominent fictional figures, or when there is a 3% tax increase on money that they don't make, or when education is made more available to people that don't look like them in order to repair institutional social wrongs of centuries past.

And that's the problem. Racist conservatives have been so powerfully brainwashed by their own delusions for so many decades that they've forgotten how to critically think about what freedom really means. Many had gotten so used to living so freely to do what they want no matter what it did to others' freedom that it stung a little bit more when they lost that power monopoly. It felt like they're losing fundamental freedoms, when in reality, they're just losing freedoms that encroached on those of others.

There is no way Clinton is the last with lifetime Secret Service protection. shyt sounds weird. A former president with no government security? Obama gonna be in his 50's when he out of office. Bush probably has protection from his dad's peoples.
