More on Secret Service security lapse at Obama rally

Secret Service tells Dallas police to stop screening people for weapons at Obama rally

Posted by: Christopher in Politicians

According to this UPI article, the Secret Service told Dallas police to stop screening people for weapons at an Obama rally because the crowd “seemed friendly.”

A huge WTF is in order here.

I’m sure republican leaders have seen the polls that show Obama beats McCain by over 5 points in a general election. I’m sure the republican establishment knows that they are getting outdrawn in the primaries by 7 million voters. Some simple math shows 13.4 million total voters in all republican primaries vs. 20.4 million voters in all democratic primaries. I’m sure the Bush administration knows that polls show McCain easily beats Clinton in a general election.

Maybe the Secret Service was honestly convinced there was no threat. Maybe it was just poor judgment and there was no sinister intent.

Sorta reminds me of the Eddie Murphy routine about the first black president. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwITXrXkdG8 and fast forward to 3:50. NSFW.
