This is something I don't understand. In Australia the PM is the only pollie to even rate security and even then the worst thing that ever happens is a bit of abuse and the occasional egg. The rest of the nations pollies just line up in supermarkets and queues like the rest of us. It is very healthy.

This was an idiotic move on the part of a single police officer. The police station immediately addmitted so and apologized. There are tons of ant-Obama bumper stickers around, just as there were tons of ant-Bush stickers back in the day. The same thing happened a few times during the Bush years as well. Some idiot went a little too far in interpreting a "threat" to the president, resulting in red faces all around. Heck, there was even an incident in a mall near here were 2 people were arrested just for having an anti-bush t-shirt, that didn't have a threat. Same result - big fuss, and apologies. Wasn't the fault of the Bush admin, nor is this the fault of Obama admin. Stupidity and over-zealousness no no political boundaries. :-) Back to work for me.... see ya next week.
