First time I heard this I questioned whether these were really secret service agents. Now I question it even more. Sounds like obamathugs. Get use to this when he's (s)elected. There's lots more to come. Wait till the brown shirts get started.

Unreal. Secret Service says they are investigating her complaint:

Hmm, let's see:
1. Stack the court and eviscerate the 2nd Amendment
2. Bring back the Fairness Doctrine and silence the right.

Any wonder Castro and Hamas love Obama?
