Everywhere you see Obama, there is US Secret Service Special Agent Joe Clancy.

[Elwood P Dowd]

He was the serious looking bald guy setting next to Obama at Notre Dame this afternoon.

1. I KNEW that guy had to be secret service

just the moment I saw him

[Pirate Smile]

2. He was the only guy not clapping.

Just a glaring clue.

4. that's too funny the secret service guy wearing the silly graduation outfit.

:rofl:

[Muttocracy]

8. There were some following Biden in costume last week too.

I didn't realize it until I saw part of the video later :)

5. I'm glad we have Joe on duty and thank him for the service

[MADem]

10. Me too. I have a cousin who did that work for many years. He's still in government, but

he's nearing retirement and driving a desk.

It's a hard job, they can't really tell you much about it while they're doing it, either. Often, you find out what they were up to when you see them on TV!

6. I think it's disturbing that someone is tracking all of the SS agents

and other protective measures

:scared:

12. Don't worry. They switch out agents every so often just for that reason.

Most of the agents I know like the presidentail duty, but only for a short time. It's very very stressfull as you can imagine!

7. Took me a little while...but I got there eventually...

11. Thanks to Joe Clancy - and all the SS for the work they do. n/t

[Imalittleteapot]

13. Was wondering

why he was not clapping, not smiling, so inanimate - thinking he was a fundie professor. Ha.

14. Obama's getting so gray!

I hadn't noticed it until I saw those Notre Dame pictures.

And what's that Hitler salute? A blessing?

This ritualistic behavior gets creepier and creepier...................

[Elwood P Dowd]

15. Bush did a much better 'Hitler Salute'.

16. Creepier, even ........

Does anyone realize what they're doing?

Do we not have any sense of history? What is wrong with people?

[Elwood P Dowd]

18. I think it originated with the Romans.

It's been around a long time.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

19. Yeah, but events in Europe

during the mid-twentieth century put a whole different gloss on it. Know what I mean?

17. I guess I would have probably kept his secret role, secret...even when in plain sight.
