Obama got as before he was nominated. I guess it depends on the threat level. applegrove Apr 2019 #3

I do recall that now. It wasn't surprising at the time, The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #12

I just read it in Michelle's book 'Becoming'. applegrove Apr 2019 #21

Unless there is a specific threat assessment that validates need (e.g., Obama) hlthe2b Apr 2019 #5
