Barack Obama was assigned Secret Service protection, it was announced today. They said the earliest a new candidate has ever been assigned Secret Service protection

It was attributed by the [liberal] press that it was due partly to his visibility as a black candidate, and partly to "white supremacist buzz and threats on the internet".

Which I really think is just the media's way to hype a guy they like, and possibly scare up some support by dredging up the race issue. If someone out there really made threats against Obama, why isn't Secret Service arresting them?


Hillary Clinton already has Secret Service protection also, due to her former first lady status.
