Go To This Page And Click On "Secret Service" For Photos Of The Silent Men Protecting Obama
They are not only beautiful, they are powerful. Photo after photo of men who watch silently and with great intent.

2. Don't Forget...Althougth None Are Shown Here...
there are women in the Secret Service who also are front line agents. I have seen many of them and they look just as powerful and gracious as the men. An amazing group of people. I was involved with many Presidential events in Miami while Clinton was in office. The plain clothes and uniformed Service were friendly, funny and talkative until the person they were protecting came into the building. Then they became steely eyed, focused, and formidable.

9.  I had that same experience, working on the 1992
Clinton campaign. I was a driver in the motorcade (we drove press and staff, NOT Clinton or his high-up aides, although I did at different times drive his doctor, DeeDee Myers, and Bruce Lindsay).
The SS hung out with us while we were waiting by our vehicles (which we were never allowed to leave). They were fun, friendly people during those few down-time minutes.

4. Warning for those of us at work - this opens to a full screen.
If you work in an environment like me, it may be best to bookmark and open over lunch or at home.

We have clock nazi's around here that walk through all the cubbies to see what is on everybody's screen periodically.

10. I've never been so glad as I am now, to have them around.
Their air of competence is reassuring, to say the least.

12. I like how they can make uzis and other guns materialize out of thin air in microseconds, too.
I think of the scene when Reagan was shot, how fast those secret service guys reacted.

Frakking amazing.

13. I like the one where they have the blue plastic booties on
They look so serious and professional, which is really tough to pull off while wearing those on your feet.

18. Forgive the ignorance, but
is this proper? Not your thread, but the photographs themselves? I know the identity of SS agents is not exactly secret, but to have such detailed photos.....wow.

Btw, beautiful pics. May God bless those men, they are truly brave.
