Offensive saying that people have characterized or mischaracterized an entire agency whose success record under enormous threats to this president and the prior president, in the worlds worst hot zones have managed to get him home without a hang nail. and all of a sudden weve become some kind of pariah. some of these incidents were very serious and im not here to diminish any of them. but i think this is a kind of feeding frenzy on the secret service that may have repercussions on morale that ar...
