So now the President makes the laws? Well apparently so if you read the article it links to:

Despite launching a gun control agenda that threatens to disarm the American people, President Obama has signed a bill that would afford him armed Secret Service protection for life.

“The legislation, crafted by Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, rolls back a mid-1990s law that imposed a 10-year limit on Secret Service protection for former presidents. Bush would have been the first former commander in chief affected,” reports Yahoo News.

The new bill, which will cost American taxpayers millions of dollars, is a re-instatement of a 1965 law which will see presidents protected for life as well as their children up to age 16.

The irony of Obama seeking to surround himself with armed men for the rest of his life while simultaneously working to disarm the American people via a gun control agenda that is likely to be enforced via executive decree represents the height of hypocrisy.

This article is from the asinine conspiracy crazy Alex Jones site, so needless to say there is serious flaws in it, like the last paragraph I quoted.

Obama did not “seek” for this legislation. It was H.R. 6620, the Former Presidents Protection Act of 2012. The bill was introduced in the Republican lead House by a Republican representative. It passed both the House and Senate on voice votes, meaning it most likely carried a veto-proof majority.

But hey! That’s nothing but those pesky facts and to be a Republican you have to rid yourself of facts, common sense and basic knowledge. Instead, there’s a black guy in the White House so we can blame him for everything and Matt Drudge and Alex Jones will whore out whatever misinformation they can to get clicks.
