3. I recently went to President Jimmy Carter's Sunday School class....

There was tremendous secret service security. One of the people that spoke to us prior to the Sunday School beginning, was the former teacher of Amy Carter and Carter's mother's secretary. She explained that the reason secret service is needed for former presidents is that they continue to receive death threats daily.

However, I am of the opinion that Republican presidents don't have to worry about that so much because it is Republicans that are the usual criminal nutjobs that threaten people.

5. seems like a lot

but is meaningless without a baseline. How many did Bush get per day? What about Clinton? What about Reagan?

6. shrub just had to do what 'poppy' and the Saudi's wanted him to do......

any "citizen" threats would be managed/handled. Don't cross the Sauds (or 'poppy').
