You cons better hope none of the gas-lighted friends do not kill the president

[Stargazer99]

Otherwise you will have pissed-off those you have been screwing for the past few years. With all the misery Republican conservatives have produced for the lower-classes (there are more of us than the so-called upper class) you think the lower-classes with just hunker down and not respond? I for one am sick of what is going on in this country and I know I am not alone. My advice is do not light a match of killing this president because you will have an explosion that you will not be able to contain...

[murielm99]

1. I have always worried about this President's safety,

from the day he won the election.

I agree with you. The explosion would be enormous.

2. So if it's a PTSD suffering Puerto Rican Iraq war vet

Who wanted to warn the President that the "atmosphere is collapsing" you'll just shrug it off?

[whistler162]

3. Please read and edit you title.

Sounds like you maybe getting a visit from the SS for encouraging something I REALLY hope you aren't encouraging.

[Stargazer99]

4. I am not encouraging this but stating the probibility

5. Where was this "explosion" when JFK was killed?

[TBF]

6. I don't think you're reading very carefully.

JFK and the current POTUS are from far different worlds (JFK was a 1%er).

I don't think the OP is exaggerating.

[former9thward]

7. I read it very carefully.

Obama by any economic definition is a 1%er. Despite the CTers Obama is very well protected and so this silly and false scenario will not happen.

[TBF]

8. I've worried about him simply because I have never seen

so much hatred expressed towards a sitting president (and, frankly, the neanderthals giving him the hardest time are the ones toting weapons). I'm glad they're taking a good look at the Secret Service.

[former9thward]

9. Yes, the SS needs to be looked at top to bottom.

But now things are coming out about the now former Director:

Pierson also rejected an internal study’s recommendations that the White House have a total of about 100 counter-surveillance officers to patrol the perimeter of the complex. She suggested cutting the recommended number by a third. And Pierson had agreed to shrink key units in the agency, including the number of Uniformed Division officers who guard the White House complex.

In her 18 months in charge, Pierson also became the subject of derision among some lower-level agents for accommodating the White House staff’s wishes for less cumbersome security over the warnings of her tactical teams.

In the spring, Pierson was irate at what she considered the excessive security measures her team had planned for the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit that Obama hosted this summer, demanding that they dismantle extra layers of fencing and reopen closed streets, according to two agency supervisors.
Supervisors who had mapped out the security plan said they were taken aback when Pierson, who worked during high school at Disney World as a costumed character and park attendant, said: “We need to be more like Disney World. We need to be more friendly, inviting.”

11. Obama a 1%er?

I didn't know Presidenting paid so well! It was only a few years before he became Senator that he and Michelle paid off their student loan bills. Wow.

and Lol.

[former9thward]

12. He is worth 12.2 million.

Where do you think the cut off is?

The ultra-rich skew that average upwards: admission to the 1% began at $380,000 in 2008. The Congressional Budget Office puts the cut-off lower, at $347,000 in 2007, or $252,000 after subtracting federal taxes and adding back transfers. Measured by net worth, rather than income, the top 1% started at $6.9m in 2009, according to the Federal Reserve, down 23% from 2007.

LOL

[LawDeeDah]

14. The cut off is how you made your money and what you do with it.

The Kochs are 1%ers many times over, you are saying Obama is like a Koch. I am not. There is a slight difference between making money from books than making money from cheating people. At least I think there is.

[former9thward]

15. Don't put words in my post.

That is NOT how the term "the 1%" is defined. YOU said in YOUR post "I didn't know the Presidency paid that much" By that snarky statement YOU were defining it by income not by behavior in YOUR post. Now that I proved you wrong you are are creating your own special definition in your own special world.

[LawDeeDah]

18. That definition applies. I actually didn't know that Obama was worth that much $

He is still not a 1%er no matter how miffed you get.

Money is not evil, if it is hand me over All of yours.

[former9thward]

19. If I hand you all of mine you will still be a long, long way from 1%...

[LawDeeDah]

20. Maybe I can take up a collection then from others that think Obama

is in the same category as the Koch Bros.

[LawDeeDah]

10. The times has changed for the worse, haven't you noticed?

[former9thward]

13. There is no explosion ready to happen.

But keep on fantasizing.

[Stargazer99]

16. If you kill this black president

You think the black community and the lower-white classes are just going to take it? They have so far, but I wouldn't bet that would continue.....people are fed up.

[former9thward]

17. If I kill this black president?

One of the most despicable posts I have seen on DU.
