I am not talking about Obama, but any President. I work in the Defense Industry and I know what powers can be brought to bare by the Presidents orders. What would you do to save your kids if they were kidnapped? He has the power to launch a nuke anywhere at any time without anyone having the authority to stop him. I believe the Presidemts family should be protected. Otherwise, one of those nut jobs would kidnap his kids and force him to blow up Isreal or Turkey or England or .. He is a Public servant, but one you dont want to be put in that position. Again, I am talking any President.

To me, having guards at a school was a seperate subject. I am guessing the school is private and they pay extra in the tuition to pay for the guards. Thats an assumption, anyone know if thats true? If it is then I don't see whats wrong with them paying extra for a private school with guards as long as I have the same opportunity to pay extra for a private school with guards here. Thats an apples to apples scenario. Public school and private school are different. If they attend Public school then thats a different position.

Then the question comes down to would you be willing to have your taxes raised to provide an armed gaurd at your kids school? I would. That would mean a ballot would need to be introduced to raise taxes for security much like they do when they want to do school improvements. That would take a grass roots efforts by parents to get such a ballot going.
