How many millions each year will this cost us? After Obama leaves office he will be like some sad forgotten B movie actor, no one will care where he is or what he says.

Ex presidents always get armed security for life. Secret service agents in fact.

And how the legislation was written by a Republican and not something that Obama just dreamed up himself.

Former presidents should have protection for as long as they want unless they decide otherwise.

Given the level of hatred and rage directed at Barack Obama, he'd have to be insane to ditch the secret service protection after his term expires. It's only a matter of time until some extremist nutjob who currently spends all day every day watching hate TV, listening to hate radio, and posting anti-Obama topics online grabs a gun and starts shooting.

If there is any president who should have protection, it would be this one. Lincoln probably comes in a close second, followed by JFK. At the bottom of the list would be Jackson--people need protection from him!
