I know that Sec. Security has had its problems, BUT are they less vigilant because our President is not shiny WHITE??

Who or what agency is in charge of them? Chagrined that I do not know for sure.

And in Colombia-- already a high alert danger location.

I have feared for our President from his campaign and into the Presidency due to the heightened hate rhetoric against him and his family. Now fear for him abroad in equal and now more measure due to this report
