Someone at the Obama campaign thought this was a good idea...the stupidity of the Obama campaign is endless...we knew Obama likes totalitarian style dictators, so he's taking ideas from Putin now?

If this is the law of the land...why in a republic (little r) and as republicans, do we allow mere POLITICIANS to the right to use a "title of office" for the rest of their lives as if it were de facto a patent of nobility. Because, as republicans, this should NOT be the case...just saying...
In a nation already revolting at the ballot box against overly intrusive government, the prospect of having your junk fondled out of bureaucratic inflexibility and political correctness is feeding the anger. Providing security at airports and generally is a perfectly appropriate role for government. But the seemingly mindless TSA screening procedures show what happens when bureaucracy takes over.Because bureaucracy doesn't care about you...only that it's rules be applied to EVERYONE...except politicians. Even Hillary Clinton has said she wouldn't take the "pat down" fondling...but then as one of out "political elite" she wouldn't have to. But as Glenn @ instapundit points out this is far from over!...
