    I was thinking the same thing. It would be very easy to describe how some idiot would target the main road the leader of the free world would travel on.

    Guarding every overpass makes sense and it isn't really costing the government that much money. Plenty of government officials that aren't very high have security and drivers.

    Youre right, he should ride in the back of a taxi in a 1 car motorcade to save money. I mean, who does he think he is? The leader of the free world? The most important man in the world? What a joker.

    What do you think the employees are going to do with the money?

    The president is virtually a prisoner. You couldn't even make run to Jimmy Johns without a throng of security and press.

    Since he did talk about farm policy and wind energy, this was not considered to be a total campaign visit. All that means is we all helped pay. Enjoy the visit...they all to it and wonder why we get frustrated.

    Re: Police on bridges

    Are a lot of the complaints here about him or about the president. I think a lot of people complain about him, when secret security dictates what precautions are needed, not him.
    Any president would need this type of security, and also tie in visits to state fair, etc.

    When I was little, my parents took us kids to Des Moines to see Reagan speak, and the ONLY thing I remember is the amount of cops I saw along the way.
