Bush administration expanded the elite law enforcement agency’s mission in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. According to government documents and interviews with dozens of current and former officials, the recent string of security lapses at the White House resulted from a combination of tight budgets, bureaucratic battles and rapidly growing demands on the agency that have persisted through the Bush and Obama administrations in the 13 years since the attacks. At the same time, the Secret Service was hit by a wave of early retirements that eliminated a generation of experienced staff members and left the agency in a weakened state just as its duties were growing. The agency assumed new responsibilities monitoring crowds at an increasing number of major sporting events and other large gatherings seen as potential ta

  SS AGENTS WITH GUNS POINTED AT TEA PARTY PATRIOTS IN 2009 Ronbo is greatly enjoying the decline and fall of the U.S. Secret Service for personal and professional reasons. These SS people (and I use the term loosely) are the scum of the earth: rude, obnoxious, stupid and cowards who played fast and loose with the law. In 1994 I warned the public of the danger represented by this rogue agency of the federal government that thought itself above the law. Today we see the truth of my words - the SS has crashed and burned in a very dramatic and public way that cannot be ignored.  SS BITCHES: What comes around, goes around!

There is not a doubt in my formerly military mind that the current SS Director is an Affirmative Action Queen who was appointed by Obama for her support for the Administration, Leftist politics and gender.
