Obama will now have more campaign cash, won't he?

[ripple]

It's obvious that the Obama campaign has already been forking out money for protection from private security guards. With the Secret Service in place, this will no longer be necessary. This evens the playing field a little bit more between Hillary and Obama, as Hillary has been receiving free protection all along.

I'm personally relieved to know that Obama is now getting SS detail, as it's been pretty unnerving to see him standing in front of (and literally surrounded by) such large crowds. The extra cash just makes a nice little added bonus. ;-)

Does anyone know if his family will also receive SS protection? I sure as hell hope so.

1. I don't see security on his expenditure report

Though perhaps the events provide their own version of security?

2. Hmmm. It was pretty even before. In fact Obama had "more" access to Primary money than Hillary!

3. I'm just referring to outgoing expenditures

that are necessary behind the scenes. Sort of like utility bills.
