The students had waited in a long line and under the hot sun to wind their way to the front of the line two hours in advance of Obama’s scheduled 5:30 p.m. remarks. Still, they were rejected.
Nice try.

Fail. Two hours before 5:30pm would be 3:30pm. Obama was scheduled to speak at 4:05pm. They tried to get in 1/2 hour before the speech when the doors were already closed. The party of yesterday was late.
Details released on Obama’s UCM visit | digitalBURG
In a press release from the White House Sunday, it was announced that President Barack Obama will visit the University of Central Missouri Wednesday, July 24. He will be giving a speech at about 4:05 p.m. at the Student Recreation and Wellness Center. All attendees will go through airport-like security.
The students, some of whom donned Tea Party T-Shirts and others who wore patriotic or Republican-inspired clothing, had protested the president earlier in the day on campus, but had put away their signs and said they were ready to simply listen to Obama when security shut them down.
Leaders of free countries don't usually call people who disagree with them, "security threats", or "threats to the President's safety".
Well, let's see: If you're Richard Nixon you order the FBI to record license plate numbers and infiltrate student groups who dared to protest the war in Vietnam. Nothing says "free" like having an FBI file because the president is paranoid.
If you're Ronald Reagan you call in the California Highway Patrol to bash the heads of those same students. Order mass arrests. Shut down legal demonstrations because the First Amendment is such a bothersome thing in the hands of people under the age of 50. Of course that was while he was governor and proving himself capable to all the conservatives.
I applaud the Secret Service for profiling these trouble makers. There only mission was to disrupt everyone's constitutional right to hear the President's speech.
These radicals were clearly up to no good and would have just caused problems.

Agreed. I think the Secret Service did a fine job.

Its impossible to take anyone seriously who believes they have a constitutional right to hear the President.. If that right was real, then the Republicans couldnt be denied entrance
Before his term is finished Obama will need a fake audience laugh track when no one shows up.
