“We joke sometimes about how Malia’s getting to the age now, and boys start calling and, you know, sort of, I always talk about how one of the main incentives for running again was continuing Secret Service protection to have men with guns around at all times…,” said Obama.
While the interview aired on Nightline on Dec. 26, it was apparently recorded prior to the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. Since that time, Obama has called for policy changes pertaining to gun laws and more gun control measures.

The gun nuts are really grasping at straws.

I do not know any father of a daughter that has not, at some time or another, said something about keeping a gun handy once the girl started dating, or getting to that age. I see this in the same light.

A motivation for seeking re-election, sure, something every father can relate to.

Obama apologists are not going to draw the connection.

And that's why it's a twist on an old old joke about a father keeping a gun handy for when their daughter starts dating.
You guys are absolutely desperate to the point where any logic goes out the window. It's pretty pathetic really, the search for anything.
And MLW - he is your president, leader of the nation you say you love. The secret service detail comes with the job. Attack him for his policies, but when you try to attack him for the security he has as leader of the most powerful nation on earth, but you can't help but make it personal can you - you are attacking America.

He ripped off the television comedy 1600 Penn where the actor playing the president threatens his daughter's baby daddy with something like "robots that roam the skies..... sky robots". Or at least three other romcoms set in the Whitehouse that sooner or later did a similar riff. One starred Katie Holmes?
Good to see Jenna Elfman (Dharma) back on television. Btw.

And Obama thought it was funny to threaten (tongue in cheek) the boy band kids performing for his daughters with "I have two words for you, predator drone" was embarrassing.

You are right HSF, stating men with guns to protect his daughters was a consideration to seek re-election, was embarrassing.

As expected, you completely missed the point and irony.

LOL - No he's not the one missing point. I really don't understand how you and Monte manage to function from day to day without becoming the next Darwin Award recipients.

No I didn't MLW. I see exactly what you are trying to say. It just isn't really ironic in any way shape or form and says more about your own personal degree of bitterness and prejudices than it does about the president.

Ill never be an apologist for Bush, but he never said it was a motivation to seek re-election.

Bitterness and prejudice? To be pointing out that the president has no cred talking about gun restrictions when he so openly admitted that a reason for seeking re-election was that his daughters would be "surrounded by men with guns". Nice.
