Really? You think they were good years? Multiple wars, running up the national debt and squandering the surplus he inherited, letting wall street and banks run roughshod with no regulation? That was good? Signing off on a bailout with no restrictions was good?

What about how the USA lost the respect of every country in the world? You think it was good that people threw shoes at Bush and demonstrated against him at every turn?

Where have you been living?

If the Secret Service is going to have a spokesman for the media, they should have one that doesn't lie. If he didn't lie and simply didn't know what he was talking about, I don't think is very good either.

Kind of ironic and hypocritical in a way, liberals insists they're against violence but have no problem doing violence.

Hmmm...yes, all of those "liberals" doing violence. Like Timothy McVey, those liberals shooting doctors that perform abortions, the nut that set the bomb off at the worlds fair in Atlanta.
I have never disliked an American president as much as I disliked Bush, but when I read the article, I thought that extended protection for his girls was probably a good idea. If it were my daughters, I would do the same thing. And by the way, I have never done a darn thing violent in my life.

Judging from the comments posted , SS protection is warranted for the Bushes daughers. There are a lot of psychopathic liberals out there who wishes harm upon harm them.

Nonsense. The crazies with the guns are toothless, tattooed, trailer trash who voted for Bush, McCain and Palin. Liberals make noise but they don't go gunning for people. The last liberal violence was during the Vietnam war. Every recent crazy we've had shooting things up have been strange, fringe conservatives and religious nutjobs. Who bombed Oklahoma City? Who shot up the Holocaust Museum? Who was caught driving around planning to shoot Obama? Who posted a sign on his store for a betting pool to see who would shoot Obama.

Sure, protect those girls, but they don't need protection from liberals, just paparazzi, kidnappers and gun toting wackos

While I do not wish the Bush daughters ill, I do think any president and cabinet members who think war is the solution to any problem should be required to send their own family members first. And be sure to give them the lack of protection (bad hummers, sub standard uniforms, helmets and those really nifty showers Halliburton rigged up to electrocute the troops as way to reward our no-bid friends in greed.

The Bush daughters are hot! Bush is looking better and better as a President, we had some very good years when he was in office.

I'm very glad that Obama is President and I'm also very glad that Jenna and Barbara are protected. They need it and we don't make war on children. This country doesn't want to make another milestone---------harm coming to ex presidents or their families.

First of all the Bush daughters are not children. However, it doesn't bother me if we (taxpayers) pay for maybe an extra year, but no more.
I never read that President Obama extended their protection. I thought I read that he had extended Cheney's.
