Same. It's also hard for me to imagine the monumental stupidity required to go after that particular ex-president. I'd wager Obama has the most robust security of them all.
Yup. The guy was caught by the Secret Service as he was "trying to find an opening in the security." About the only saving grace in all this is that the people trying to do this are idiots. Like that guy who came up with a brilliant plan to get past the bullet proof glass at an FBI building by using a nail gun.
Unfortunately, throw enough idiots into the mix and some of them will succeed just by dumb luck. And the right has plenty of idiots to throw.
