This is "serious misappropriation of the public's money?"
I think anyone who has the good fortune of having a parent elected president
is also handed the misfortune of possibly being singled out for everything
from harassment to kidnapping to who-knows-what.
There have been too many mentally ill people (such as John Hinkley) and too
many organizations (such as the Symbionese Liberation Army) who have been
willing to cause innocent people like Jodie Foster and Patricia Hearst a lot
of grief just to bring their own agendas to the forefront.
I would rather see money spent on the protection of presidential offspring.
It would be nice if it weren't necessary, but I think it is.
And yes, this goes for Barbara and Jenna as well.
