And I can't help but wonder what wealth of secret information his lame mind thinks that the Secret Service Detail had in them to be coerced by a little poon tang into giving up, anyway? Having a secret clearance does not mean that a person is automatically privy to all secret information retained by our government. After a person is granted a clearance, they also have to have a "need to know" concerning any information that is divulged to them. I would guess that at best, all that that Secret Service Detain was privy to was specific information regarding the travel plans for President Obama. And at best, knowing that information would be useful only to an entity that wanted to do him harm.
Excuse me for being so naive, but I do not think for a second that the Russians have any interest at all in doing away with President Obama. They know only too well what the outcome for them will be if President Obama gets eliminated and is replaced by someone from the right wing of our government, say a Newt Getricher, or a Rick Unsanitorum, or god forbid a Mitt Romney, perish the thought. On the contrary, I can easily imagine the KGB doing everything in it's power to tip our Secret Service guys off to any plot information regarding the longevity of our president's life that they may be aware of.
Again, the words of a Bob Dylan song come to mind.
I've learned to hate the Russians
All through my whole life.
If another war comes,
It's them we must fight.
To hate them and fear them,
To run and to hide.
But you never ask questions
When God's on your side.
Owww, I do love a good sarcastic lyric in the morning!
