The same can't be said for those out of work people that voted for her.

Average American families don't typically have to worry about assassination attempts...unless I missed something.

We all missed something, somehow. Maybe the taxpayer should begin paying the President a $100 million salary annually so he can cover all security that he needs or we should just keep paying him $400,000 and have $100 million of security provided to him by the tax-payer annually. Either way, the tax-payer has to pay for it so I don't see what's all the whining about.

SN: the $100 million security figure, its just hypothetical.
