This is a new low Tracy. It's not even ironically amusing.

I too missed the irony. I don't think I meant any irony.

I did not mean that you were being ironic. I meant that you tend to roll into this forum writing silly provocative and at times insulting posts which I find ironically amusing.

I have a pretty well developed sense of morbid curiosity. I don't remember having one prior to signing up as a member of this forum and reading your stuff over the course of two years. A big part of why I return to this website is to read your latest outrageous comment.

No obama has made it illegal to protest in his presence.

Now before you liberals roll your eyes and say "it's just Fox News", lets hear from Huffington Post:

H. R. 347 makes protest of any type potentially a federal offense with anywhere from a year to 10 years in federal prison, providing it occurs in the presence of elites brandishing Secret Service protection, or during an officially defined 'National Special Security Event' (NSSE). NSSEs , ( an invention of Bill Clinton) are events which have been deemed worthy of Secret Service protection, which previously received no such treatment. Justified through part of 'Presidential Decision Directive 62 in 1998; Bill Clinton created an additional class of special events explicitly under the authority of the U.S. Secret Service.

It's outrageous, and The Huffington Post is correct to state that Obama's has morphed into a third Bush term (on issues like this). But let's be honest about it: do you think that if Bush was about to sign legislation like this, the Fox News report would even be remotely similar?

Of course not. It would have been touted as crucial to fighting terrorism, sedition, or whatever. There would not have been a peep about civil liberties.

Very late into his second term (like almost the last thing he did) Bush did sign into law a bill that in effect made it illegal to criticize the sitting president.
