Why the HECK is the secret service screwing up so much? Have we had this much screwing up when W or

HW or Clinton's terms?

is it because the Secret service no longer part of the Treasury and now DHS or are their other reasons?

Regardless of party I want to know the person in the oval office is protected.

a lackadaisical approach to their work. I don't think many of them have one iota of respect for the Obamas, and are marking time until they get to guard a "real president".

another thing is that we are at a time in history when EVERYONE is a "news-person" with pretty good camera gear with them 24-7..

Too many scandals. Too many stories of incompetence and impairment. It's a sad day for that agency and this country. I hope they get their crap together and turn themselves around pronto.

insufficient pool of suitably trained candidates for the job, not enough time to adequately train recruits needed to expand the service...all relatable to the massive number of unrelenting threats to this president and his family. Just my uneducated guess.

many of them were probably hired during W's terms and are just as much the bigots that he and his master are. They are waiting to retire now.
