Napolitano: Obama Secret Service Team Sheltered From Cuts

Despite the sequester, the Secret Service isn't going to skimp when it comes to protecting President Barack Obama, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Monday.

Speaking at a Playbook breakfast at the Newseum, Napolitano said the teams of Secret Service agents assigned to protect Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will be sheltered from the broad spending cuts required as part of the budget reduction that that kicked in on Friday.

"Obviously, one of the major responsibilities, if not the major responsibility, of the Service is the protection of the president and the vice president. So, the protective side, we’re going to protect that, of course," Napolitano told POLITICO's Mike Allen.

The King is safe! The serfs, according to the King himself, will suffer from the layoffs of cops, teachers, and firefighters. But as long as that bumbling, fumbling fool continues to be protected by a small army of men with the latest and greatest weapons (you know...guns --- the very thing he wants to restrict from "we, the people" to the point of it being about as easy as getting a nuke), then we can all sleep well tonight. I know I feel better....

6:06 Check out Oath Keepers. A lot of the military and a lot of sheriffs nation-wide have not compromised. I think they will be at the forefront of the coming civil war.
