RACISM?

What do YOU Think?

Certainly, tens of millions of you coward Repugs [largely secretly]
wouldn't mind seeing the president meet with physical harm.

You craven hypocrites didn't bother to hide your racist views during
the 2008 campaign, did you?

It's been estimated that veiled calls for Barack's assassination
increased votes for the Repug ticket by as many as 5-million.

And racist-deniers like Rush "Not Dead Yet" Limbaugh, Dick Cheney, and
Karl Rove continue to fuel and fill the Anti-Obama crowd with the
levels of hatred not seen since John Wilkes Booth!

"After Salahi incident, some blacks say Secret Service isn't vigilant
enough"

By Wil Haygood
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, January 1, 2010; C07

Virginia socialites Tareq and Michaele Salahi's crashing of President
Obama's first state dinner in the White House on Nov. 24 prompted a
ripple of concern among African Americans nationwide that lingers
still.

"You are talking probably 100 percent concern about the president's
safety from my listeners," said Joe Madison, known as "the Black
Eagle," who hosts a popular nationwide radio program that attracts
mostly African American listeners. "People are worried. My callers
think there's not the intensity to protect this president given his
unique history. It shouldn't be business as usual."

On the streets of Washington last week, the concern was palpable.

Joseine Applewhite, a 40-year-old legal assistant from the District,
said she is worrying about Obama's safety. "I think the Secret Service
needs to step up their game a little bit," she said. "After all, the
first lady was there on the night of the state dinner, and I believe
the kids were also. I think a lot of black folks are angry about it.
And why weren't the Salahis arrested? Black folks are asking
themselves that question. I am just upset about all of it."

Doug Pierce, 38, who was touring downtown Washington with his family
from Cleveland, Tenn., where he works as a cook, also questioned
whether the Secret Service is doing an adequate job.

"They allowed that couple to get in there, so obviously someone's not
doing their job," Pierce said, standing near the White House gates.
"You can't help worrying about the president. He's a black man, and
it's probably a lot of people out in the world trying to get to him."

* * *

A poll conducted Dec. 9 by Fox News/Opinion Dynamics showed that 48
percent of black respondents were just somewhat or not at all
confident in the Secret Service's ability to protect the president,
compared with 37 percent who answered the same question in a poll
conducted Jan. 9, less than two weeks before Obama's inauguration. The
comparable figures for white respondents were 37 percent and 32
percent.

Many blacks as well as whites think Obama is in greater danger of
assassination than some previous presidents because of his historic
role. There are also some blacks who suspect -- rightly or wrongly --
that the Secret Service won't work as hard to protect a black
president, a point of view that has its roots in the nation's
complicated racial history.

Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan, who recently was called before
a congressional committee worried about the security breach at the
White House, said the agency is well aware of this suspicion but
disagrees with it. The Secret Service is committing more resources to
the security of the first family than it ever has, Sullivan said.

"Regardless of who the president is, we know there's always someone
out there who wants to harm the president," Sullivan said. "The fact
that he's African American has never been lost on us."

Sullivan noted that citizens have been quick to contact the agency to
report worries. "We want the public to be engaged," he said in an
interview at his H Street office. "We know the consequences of what
could happen if we don't do our job right."

Sullivan said the agency put corrective measures in place following
the state dinner incident. "Nobody has beaten up on us more than we
ourselves have," he said. "But we have to move on. We don't have the
luxury of sitting back, and we are moving forward. Our people are
focused."

But such sentiments have been met with skepticism among many African
Americans, who have long suspected that law enforcement at all levels
of government is tainted by racism. That includes the 6,000-employee
Secret Service, which is embroiled in a class-action lawsuit filed by
black agents who allege discrimination. (Ed Donovan, a spokesman for
the agency, said it could not respond to questions about ongoing
litigation.)

"When J. Edgar Hoover was running the FBI, the image of law
enforcement in the black community was at its lowest," said Ronald
Walters, professor emeritus of government and politics at the
University of Maryland. "Hoover had a feeling that African American
leaders were not as patriotic as he thought they should be. He
systematically went after them."

One of Hoover's longtime targets was the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.,
father of the modern-day civil rights movement. Hoover had King's
conversations wiretapped and spread rumors about him that many would
come to find repellent.

"It took a long time and a lot of experience," added Walters, "for
African Americans to develop the attitude that domestic security
services were no friend of the African American community." Incidents
of police brutality during and after the civil rights movement haven't
helped, he said.

Walters said he and other blacks were alarmed recently at the sight of
armed protesters in Phoenix and Portsmouth, N.H., near where the
president was talking about his proposed changes in the health-care
system. "Look at all those people who showed up with guns," Walters
says of the Phoenix incident. "You just couldn't imagine Ronald Reagan
speaking within 1,000 yards and there being people with guns, and the
Secret Service or law enforcement not doing anything about it."

The Secret Service says the incidents in both Arizona and New
Hampshire did not catch the agency off guard, explaining that it could
not trample over local jurisdictions that allow for the open display
of firearms. "Those people were in very strict parameters of being
able to carry a weapon," Donovan said. "If they were going to impact
our route of the motorcade, they were going to be removed. Part of the
myth out there is that they were in close proximity to our routes. We
would not drive a protectee near someone with a weapon."

What is the reality of the physical threat against Obama? It's hard to
pin down.

Presidents typically receive about 3,000 threats a year, Secret
Service experts have said, although the agency refused to discuss
specific numbers.

In strategic budget documents, officials acknowledged that the threat
environment was especially high last year -- because of factors
including wars overseas, domestic tensions and Obama's history-making
presidential bid -- and is expected to remain high.

While hostility directed at former president George W. Bush and vice
president Dick Cheney tended to be associated with U.S. policies
abroad, antipathy toward Obama emanates from domestic extremists,
Secret Service officials said. He received the earliest protection for
a presidential candidate in history-- less than a hundred days after
he announced -- because of threats; and at the most visible moments of
his trek to the White House, threat levels reached historic levels,
government officials said. However, the number of threats has since
fallen back to levels seen by Bush and Bill Clinton at this point in
their terms.

But threats are only one barometer of security concerns -- and a poor
one in some ways, Secret Service officials said. Research into dozens
of individuals who have actually attacked presidents in recent decades
shows nearly all were previously unknown to the Secret Service.

* * *

African Americans have expressed concern about the safety of other
black public figures aspiring to the presidency. There were concerns
about Jesse Jackson's safety during his two presidential campaigns.
Alma Powell, wife of Republican star and former chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell, who had been wooed to seek his party's
nomination, famously said she preferred her husband didn't run,
fearing for his safety. Powell chose not to run.

Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, who sits on the House Homeland Security
Committee and is in contact with the Secret Service on security
issues, says blacks have worried about Obama's safety because they
still vividly recall the mourning in the aftermath of King's
assassination and that reverberates on the federal holiday
commemorating King's birth.

Norton said she was as shocked as anybody when the Salahis were able
to gain access to the White House uninvited. "As an elected official,
I go to the White House quite often," she said. "I never expected
anybody to get past the palace gates without ID!"

Even so, she said, "I have every reason to believe this is not your
grandfather's Secret Service. I have no doubt that the Secret Service
has a whole new game book when it comes to Obama. They just didn't
have it when it came to getting inside the White House itself."

It would appear that Obama shares Norton's confidence.

"Three years ago, the men and women of the Secret Service undertook an
historic mission -- to put their lives on the line to protect a
presidential candidate and his family, earlier than ever before,"
White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said in a statement. "Every
morning, President Obama wakes up grateful for their exceptional
commitment to their job and their service to the country."

Actually, try as I might, I couldn't find a single coherent person in your
neighborhood. They must have either all been non-English speakers to begin
with, who couldn't ascertain the differences in meaning that some words or
colloquial expressions possess, or slow thinkers.

I suspect the latter, as you yourself have no idea what a "slow day"
actually means.
