Obama's House on Hyde Park is a Fortress.

[ninuxy]

5 police cars and half a dozen officers for the president of the U.S.. Wow! I'm flabbergasted.

How about a battalion of Marine soldiers escorting him along the Secret Service, cupcake? Perhaps we should whine and clamor over that too.

Get real.

[bigdaddyswife2008]

I agree!!!!!

[glenda8110]

How long has and will Obama cost us all this money. He is easily the biggest waste of money in American history.

[stupidtex]

Soebarkah is the devil. 666 on the back of his head.

[rhcrest]

What a disgrace that taxpayer money and local police are pulled from the rest of the population in Chicago to protect the home of this disgusting POS. How screwed up is this country that taxpayer funds go to protect the home of the person trying to destroy the country and doing a darn good job of it!

[Txmedieval]

God saves us All from Nobummer!! We as Working tax payers pay for this crap!!

[KiDFRANKKK]

i fucking hate obama

[dsbizz1]

please remember that is the most powerful and important man in the world! so please stfu ok ... at the time it was known obama was gonna win no matter what! he had so many death threats at the time and we needed obama... and we need it right now ...

[2204Alpha]

Bush paid out of his own pocket to protect his ranch while he was gone, not using one single local cop.

Chicago PD uses 29 full time to protect an empty home since hes lived in DC....all paid by your tax dollars.

[h4l03rul3z]

He's the leader of our country! He's our commander-and-chief! He's the most important man in our blessed country, WHY WOULDENT WE PROTECT HIM?

I think all these stupid ass, propaganda usin, piece of shit new's channels need to be shut down, either tell the truth or shut the fuck up.

[aberryhill0113]

This has to be the most condescending news report I have heard. The man was getting death threats we he announced he would be running for president, get over it tax payers pay for a lot of shit some not as important as this.

[pinkygurl786]

i say instead of regular beat cops protecting that area, they put at least 18 s.w.a.t members

[ssips720]

oh shut it, obama is repairing our image..

[praetorian2150]

thats the best detail for a city cop ever. just stand there and check a few id's for the street residents, gotta love it

[WartownComp1]

look at 2:42 that is a mosque right in front of his house!! hmmm still no birth cert.

[seashorebeauty]

@WartownComp1

I live in Kenwood just a block from his house. That building is called KAM Isaiah Israel and is the oldest Jewish congregation in Chicago.

[yamahonkawazuki]

@seashorebeauty i lived in hyde park as well. and i back this description up.

[alcoholanddrugabuse]

Like he will ever go back to that shithole town. He will be going to dubai with the rest of the elite after they destroy this country........

[ManuelPagami]

haha.. see, abc isnt really a full-out liberal news channel.. Fox just makes every other news channel appear that way..

[2204Alpha]

@ManuelPagami this is a local newscast

[ManuelPagami]

@2204Alpha abc 7 is local??.. okay??.. is it liberal or not??.. my point was that fox is so pro-republican and anti-democrat that everything anyone else does seems like the opposite when its obvious its not.. i understand that abc 7 is like fox 13.. but its still abc.. i havent seen a non-incredibly right wing fox 13 yet..

[Tonyo1221]

What a begrudging whining report! Would they rather not protect him??

Get a life!

[San47di]

This is just one of the prices ignorant so-called Americans pay for being racists!! It's reported that President Obama has had more threats on his life then any other American President in History. Now WHY is that??  It's because of the color of his skin & the fact that low-life red-kneck racists can't stand the fact that he won the election & is the leader of the free world & respected around the World!

[sniffy45]

Im sure the neighbors love all that shit

[mindblown76]

makes me fucking sick....just because hes black......fuck that...he should get the same as the other presidents....pos>>>>

[yamahonkawazuki]

@mindblown76 funny thing is hes not black by definition. to beconsidered black requires both a black mother AND father. his mother is white

[bigbzon]

@ 00:25

I wonder how much this windbag is paid?

I would'nt mind living next to Obamas house, safest block in town.

[AraknidVideoTests]

LOL, I remember when I was going to school, cops would stop me to check if didn't had bombs in my bookbag. Then they would question me about where I was going. I'm happy he's in the White House now, I don't have to go through this every morning and every afternoon now :)

[San47di]

How ironic that people from England and around the world recognize how America "can't afford to lose Obama," and yet so many ignorant butt wipes right here in America can't see it.

[jjay3200]

true

[cuband8]

@San47di but do we really need to pay for his little protective militia? fuck no and fuck you you liberal idiot

[yamahonkawazuki]

@cuband8 hell weve lost more jobs than weve supposedly saved. obummers own worlds, " some of these shovel ready jobs, arent shovel ready yet" then theres that solar cell company. half a billion dollars. it went bankrupt. etc.

[j0phus]

@yamahonkawazuki Where do you think that money went? The company went bankrupt because it had a terrible business model, but thousands of people got salaries from that. If you ask me that is more helpful than giving a trillion dollars to banks to fuck you over with like the republicans wanted.

[yamahonkawazuki]

@j0phus and obama did. as well as bush. regarding the banks. the housing bubble is hte fault of EVERY single congress and administration since jimmy carters "community reinvestment act of i think it was 1977. not just george w bush

[Obamaluke]

@San47di

Yes, Obama is truly that.

[GEORGETOWN93]

Where do you expect him to stay.......at a Motel 6 or something?

[powerone1]

This reporter sounds like whining bitch, just looking for something to complain about. What are they suppose to do, not cover Obama with everything that they feel is needed? This is national security, we spend billions of dollars a year to protect the U.S. interests around the world. This guy is a real jackass.

[2204Alpha]

Glad to see a uniform commander endorsing the president. What a bias jackass. What happened to leaving politics out of law enforcement.

Funny that while the cops stand around all night people are being robbed and assaulted 2 blocks away.

Now that he is president they have 10 officers protecting an empty home, what a total waste....welcome to crooked chicago.

[glenda8110]

@powerone1 You are right Obama is a real jackass. I could not have said it better.

[Humanimalist]

Bush flushed a trillion dollars down the toilet in Iraq. Where is their outrage over that?

Mr Obama deserved this protection.

[Reqrezentin]

Totally agree.

[cityfan22]

you could not be more correct

[farshadguitar]

APPRECIATE YOUR UNDERSTANDING

[godscuttingyoudown]

yes an you too deserved armed protection when you are separated from your family and sent to a fema concentration camps after the collapse of US finances and martial law is imposed some time in late 09

[2204Alpha]

@Humanimalist Obama flushed more than that in a failed stimulus which isnt even money at all. Its just debt that devalues the money citizens already had.

[San47di1]

@2204Alpha Oh Bullshit!! The stimulus "saved" hundreds of thousands of jobs in industry, ... not to mention the American Auto Companys, so can it butt-wipe!! If you would do "research" & keep your head out of the crack of Faux No-News azz you would know that!!

[yamahonkawazuki]

@San47di1 not entirely. GM got sold to the unions, the stimulus money built /created jobs in mexico. sex education in china, a planned monorail line to vegas etc. over 9 thousand earmarks in obamas pledge to have no earmarks in his bills. as far as jobs, weve lost MORE than weve gained. accd to the us dept of labor. even the CBO discounts the obama stimuli, ( and to be fair, bush's version as well)

[Dallouez]

You clowns are nobodies, nothing, have never done anything in life. if it wasn't for youtube no one would know you existed. SO LYAO loser. No one loves you or gives a shit if you die. So hug your computer that mommy bought you and keep harassing honest hard working people. BYE!

[mrwoods22]

Why do you insist on talking out of your ass? Yeah. My life is meaningless cause some online racist said so.

[San47di]

ROFLMAO!!!

[Dallouez]

Well I'm Tired of wasting time to educate you niggers. 6 seconds wasted. I'll go where more people are so I can get the word out.

[mrwoods22]

You have no word to spread. Just more ignorance. It takes a brave man to name call online. Ooh. He said the n word on the internet. Now my feelings are hurt. LMAO

[Dallouez]

Deathwyng when did you get out of prison? Did you get your STD cleared up? How much does ACORN pay you? Racist is someone who is sick of some deadbeats bastard children. We (Klan members) want you to HANG out with us.

[Beentakenaway123]

The should protect our schools like that too.!!!!!!

[Dallouez]

Wanna see a racist grab a mirror. OOPS Ugly right! I( raised a mblack child because her deadbeat dad left her. I helped about 20,000 blacks turn their life around. LA is aperfect examplde of niggerdom.Your a hairs breath away from cannables like your forfathers. If it weren't for wnite people you would be DEAD! Living like slaves. ONLY white people freed the slave while youall sat on your fat asses and did nothing. Now you want more freebies. Get a job and pay your child support.

[Deathwyng]

so, dallouez, what exactly are you trying to say, i'm sorry we can't see through your racism

[mrwoods22]

I find it laughable that people like you try to bring up slavery, calling black people lazy, and yet, slave masters were making them do all their work. It's like Roseanne telling me I need to lose weight.

[cammie1960]

i see white peeps having a rough time of it JUST AS OR MORE than blacks. nobody asked you to feed, clothes or anything else anybody. people of color pay taxes and everything else your holier than thou whites. you get a job. if it wasnt for blacks, a lots of you lazy assed whites wouldnt be where you are. You used US for a stepping stone for years. nobody asked you or any body else for freebies. when there are freebies whites gets just as many of them than blacks. grow up.

[Dallouez]

WOW ACORN is alive and kicking! Since blacks take more than 80% of all taxes one would assume they pay taxes but surprise. WHOLE neighborhoods are on welfare or handicapped or et al. The laxiest people in the world and the biggest pimps and cons are black! It's just that we are suspose to keep quiet about it. I spent year5s working for miorties and they are all crooked except for a very few! This according to YOUR leadersFreedom for blacks the rest of people MUST be quiet and swallow the lies.

[cammie1960]

ACORN wasnt BAD long as it helped the repubs, huh? bush/company funded it, mccain spoke at its fundraisers. oh well, as long as it dont help dems its cool, right? some whites are pimps and whores and cons and white trash and everything else. they get welfare and foodstamps have aids etc. just as some blacks. they just aint reported.

Dall, my color aint the ones that hung people, drug them behind vehicles, denied people public places, enslaved others, sold parents kids, denied rights, yours did!

[Dallouez]

What planet are you from? Hide your head in the sand! Don't watch reality! ONLY white people freed blacks! Millions of whites died to free your puckered asses. While you hide under womans skirts. When YOUR bosses say that all blacks are drug adicted, deadbeat dads, have STD, drop outs losers who am I to say, " NO! blacks are nice people!" Records say different plus I helped 30,000 people but bit my tonguie and hid the truth because the blacks are poor and stupid. YOU? ACORN=Stormtroopers.

[cammie1960]

hey dall, i love ya too.

are you mad at the world or what it has handed ya. i'm depressed, destressed, pissed, my head is in the sand, my ass is puckered, but happy. lol how bout you. somebody screwed with your head really bad, didnt they? do u need a cup of tea? i have some already made. thank you for helping all those 30,000 negros. more power to ya. you go take a nice warm shower, do a little yoga to relax before you have an attack or something. might need to get off caffine?

love ya though

[yamahonkawazuki]

@cammie1960 this is true. BUT often not discussed is theres racists in EVRY race

[yamahonkawazuki]

@cammie1960 fair enough, but i cant get health insurance thanks to not being a minority. that is racist in its own right. cant use the united negro college fund, because im not black. in itself thats kinda racist. affirmative action is yet another example of racism across this country. BUT i am not a racist. i despise it. on job applications where there is a box for other, i write human

[cammie1960]

@yamahonkawazuki i have 3 color mixes in my blood that i'm sure of. i'm a racist when i see 1 color treat another like crap. no color is superior than another. we r all the same, even though some speak different languages. there are plenty of minorities that cant get ins. at one point i couldnt get it, cause i just didnt make enough to buy it. i learned about medicaid for moms with kids. thats what saved my life, literally.

[yamahonkawazuki]

@cammie1960 i am an insulin dependent diabetic whos been self insured since 2004 thanks to govt waste. mostly by left leaning administrations. i cannot get medicaid thanks to current rules put into place. unless, i 1 change my race ( lol) 2. grow a vagina, or 3. have children. was told this by a dhs worker. but i agree wiht what you said. idk about you, but i am a christian. and live my life, by 1 line. wed all do well to heed. " GOD made man in his own image" you are right, no superior race

[cammie1960]

@yamahonkawazuki do u know some of our congress heads r gettin housin subsidies? all the things the "people" have a damn hard time getting, cause we're not depend on govt. cause its big? sorry that u have diabeties. i'm borderline, but dont take anything. i had a hard time getting any meds at 1 point, lordy thought i was gonna die. some girl hooked me up 2 this medicaid thing. since O been n, some guys without ins. can get it 2. had ins. but couldnt afford it, had let it go.

[cammie1960]

@yamahonkawazuki somebody fought 4 blacks 2 get what they need. i know some unfairly uses the system, but their r many that dont. i see much more than blacks n welfare lines, gettin govt food, food stamps, medicaid, even disability. look at how much the rich r takin govt 4 a ride. a lot of them get money through congressmen, and by beating the system. even doctors do it. we r fucked as long as we keep listenin 2 the same ole lies. i think obama can do wonders, if we let him.

[yamahonkawazuki]

@cammie1960 agreed. and i as a caucasian, supported this. but sadly have yet to see obama do anything. but spend money on worthless things. maybe that was a bit harsh. perhaps i can put that on congress who wrote the bill he signed. but still mr obama has caused me nothing but trouble thusfar

[cammie1960]

@yamahonkawazuki the ins. law will do some good things if they let it b implimented. i know a lot of peeps dont trust govt. i dont have a choice. preexisting conditions is 1 of the main purposes of passing the bill. wish everything were already in effect, but takes time to get it right. people know it's good, thats why theyre fighting to dismantle it. they dont want to see the "PEOPLE" benefit. we pay too many taxes not to be able to get ins thru OUR govt.

[mrwoods22]

As a Chicagoan, I'm glad to see my taxes actually be spent on something were while. They tax the shit out of us so it's not like Chicago doesn't have the money.Try paying $28 to park in a downtown parking lot for 3 hours. And if you're lucky enough to find a spot on the street, 1 quarter will get you 5 min. Cameras take pictures at intersections, and mail tickets to car owners, even though someone else may be driving your car. $8 for 1 pack of cigarettes. 11.25% sales tax, largest in the nation

[jackjeff1]

it would b horrible every body looking over ur neck all the time...

[sidhusagar]

Dallouez

now go find yourself a porn industry to work in, coz all white bitches do that....

[sidhusagar]

Dallouez

fuck u and your white motherfuckin race, that's why white's got beat up durin the riot in l.a. they were fuckin runnin for their lives, stupid pussies. i live by one rule in life that is not to trust ur kind of motherfuckers, bitch. guess what? show me where and when cosby and washington said what u qouted....whites are called trailer trash, i guess you didn't know.

[sidhusagar]

Dallouez, fuckin white bitch

[sidhusagar]

Dallouez, u better understand that he is your president now and u better give him some respect, just coz u r a white supremecist doesn't mean that you should criticize him like this.

[Dallouez]

Stupid fucking gay nigger! Respest a lawyer/nigger? Go fuck yourself. If I were a white supremecist I will have freedom fo speach and I can believe anything I want. All I have to do is quote/listen to your leaders. Cosby, Washington, Jackson say that all niggers are screwed up. They are drug dealers killers gangbangers deadbeat dadds, sluts ho's drunks, wife abusers, Have STD'd and et al.

[mrwoods22]

Oh. So you're a racist. That explains everything. 01/20/09 must be a nightmare for you. Well the fuck up, cause you're not dreaming.

[Deathwyng]

It's okay people ignore Dallouez, it's that time of the month, and she missed the klan meeting.

[Dallouez]

So assigns or wackjobs only come from densely populated super rich neighborhoods? Interesting theory but totally wrong! there you go, my complaint Po black man feel sorry for the po black. More media hype. There is NO proof of what you say! Ibelieve Bush has received more death threats than any President because the media wants people to hate him! You clowns will believe ANYTHING the media puts out! I don't believe Obama will fail FOR OBAMA! The rest of the world can go to Hell! FOOL!Heil Obama

[mrwoods22]

So are you a Bush supporter?

[Dallouez]

Bla bla bla. Obama played the poor black man every chance he could. Why tax payers had to pay to protect his black ass is WRONG! No one blocked off 8 square blocks with Palin or McCain or anyone else. Because of the risk to Bush from Terrorists they increased the protection. Osama has no need to worry about terrorists he is going to free them all so they can blow up our children!

[mrwoods22]

Neither McCain nor Palin live in a densely populated neighborhood. And as a Black man (or half Black man) he received more death threats than any other U.S. presidential candidate in history. And why do you act like you hope Obama fails. That's ignorant.

[MrBig809]

The fact is that Barack Obama is the President-elect and will take the oath of office to become the President on January 20th. He, like all of the modern day Presidents before him, will have a large USSS detail. He, just like the others, is a target as long as he hold the office and to some extent afterward. It is important to have this type of protection for any President to be able to do the job without a constant external threat to his life and the lives of his family.

[SouthernFriedGood]

Jackson Jr wants a new book added to Bible.  Book of Obama. Check it out.

[godofwar1928]

if he did not get protected then he is a target for the racist people to hurt him and his family and you can not put a price in family. even after the kkk made the threats i still dont know how people dont see how much protection you need to keep those crazy people out of your house. if it was me i would have an army to protect my family.

[mvadinan540]

I was mostly suprised today when the polls did not Spike like crazy around 6 pm when the Whites got out of work.

[cefranzwa]

What, Blacks don't work?

[mvadinan540]

Lol Spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend

[Dallouez]

Another Obama theater presentation! All through the campain he has had double the protection to show he's black and white people are dangerous. Palin walks around and I don't see ANY protection! I guess she can take care of herself. Obama the drama queen! Yea I would volenteer for double overtime and sitting on my ass harassing common citizens. Heil Lord Obama!

[mrwoods22]

Lord Obama is your next president. Now deal with it.

[Dallouez]

NO Lord Obama is YOUR president! You dumb sucker! I hope you don't live close to a terrorist target. Wait, I hope you do! Bye Bye bitch.

[mrwoods22]

Pretty tough talk for the internet. You claim to live in the United States, and yet, Obama isn't your next president? Explain that.

[MrBig809]

Dallouez your comment is quite misguided. First, Sarah Palin had her own USSS detail. In fact you can see her detail as well as her motorcade in many videos posted here on Youtube. Second, the USSS has expanded the security perimeter around the White House farther in the last 8 years because of Bush than in the last 25 years under anyother President.

[Maraquinn]

I guess this is only a big deal because he doesn't live on a ranch on his own land like George Bush and John McCain. Security is more difficult in an urban area than out in the country.

Besides, this is his only house. lol If something were to happen to it he wouldn't be able to just pick and choose which of his other 12 houses he could go to like McCain could.

[gqmodel818]

you and your conservative buddies by shouting "kill him" he deserves to protect his family and himself with all the tools he needs. I'm happy with the protection his getting to protect himself from the Taliban party of America. The Republicans finally showed their true blood that they are like the Taliban party and they will do anything for McCain to be President, and even try to kill Obama. That's why 75 percent pray to god for his safety because Obama is our leader.

[devilbear]

spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend spend

Maybe Obama should try fixing his neighborhood before trying to fix the country

[Steeplerot]

Every cent worth it too.

Obama is not the Mayor nor the Police Chief.

What should he do? Start walking the beat himself? I am sure righties would love that.

[cammie1960]

whites spent our asses deep into debt now the shit is hittin the fan, so Obama is caught in the middle of it TRYING to straighten crap out. When crying out was needed nobody formed a tea party, a militia or anything else. now the outrage is out in full force. I wish bama would tell all his haters to kiss his ass, and straighten out their own mess.
