        Over 70 million kids enrolled CHIP HEALTHCARE USA so how do you deny medical care American children? No funding after Jan 2018-everything seems more important than AMERICAN CHILDREN-I CARE AND SO SHOULD EVERY ADULT IN USA! Certainly more important than wealthy or CORP tax cuts!

        Pitiful. Those were peaceful protest. The 600k was unnecessary. Spraying water in freezing conditions? #Resist like your future depends on it because it does. YOUR cause will be next. BELIEVE Me!

        👮LEOs should have proper protective gear❗ Apparently these liberal fools didn't realize this article is about OBAMA, that's who they are really attacking. More Dem implosions. #MAGA

        Florida Gov Scott spent the same amount for security at a college where a white supremacist was scheduled to speak. $600,000. I don’t think they had 50 people there. Wars and rumours of wars.

        Spending our tax money to use it against us. Is this a democracy?

        Unfortunately, no. It’s a Republic, similar to Ancient Rome; a republic you vote to have an external person “represent” you in a higher government (HOR and Senate) and hope they follow through. Democracy is the people vote about the issues, not people to solve them.

        The Constitution can say “We The People” all it wants. Call your republican representative and tell them to block Keystone, or your democratic ones and say to stop funding planned parenthood. Nothings going to happen, because it’s their choice in the end.

        well we do need a direct democracy/pure republic option to keep the crooks in line as the Swiss have.

        However, crazily enough as well I also believe from what I’ve learned about the governmental structures of both the past and present that an appropriate balance between many of the structures, given that the society and leaders remain ethical and educated, could be astounding -

        👮😂Sept, Oct, Nov of last year❗ I'm sure Obama administration also hid some of that money. And all the DemLibLeftCriminals complaining are actually complaining about their own protest. If they didn't attempt to interfere, we wouldn't have needed extra protective gear for LEOs😇

        That $600,000 went in someone’s pocket. Who approves these expenditures ?
