Insanity.

So the Vice President and his family are expendable?? No need to worry about security for him, huh.


I guess Obama never took in a ball game since he's been president.....those stadiums are sooooo much easier to keep secure than the National Shrine.

Certainly less of a target than the POTUS.

How much security planning do you think goes into a ballgame?

First time ever, Spence.

Remember the mass after 09/11? Leaders from all over the world in one building. Somehow, they pulled that off.

You can't admit that he's not going, because he doesn't want to go?

So you think they will have reduced security for this just because the VP doesn't give them as many "Points".....that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard

So you said that National Shrine holds 10,000 people and the secret service can barely keep a few whackos out of the White House.

Yet they can put the president in the middle of a big grass field in front of 40,000 people to throw out the first pitch of a ballgame without a problem.

A place full of sports whackos that is serving alcohol......

But they can't risk it at a funeral service....

I take it back.....this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
