i agree with the sentiment that the president ought really just be "mr. president" not treated as royalty. we won a war to put an end that ridiculousness. however, security must be maintained. it doesn't matter what party the man is from... an assassination of a president is a jarring event for a nation and the world and we cannot have it happen again. i mean an archduke getting assassinated set off a world war
motorcades are a bit much -- they should be much reduced from what they are. they are more about the pomp and parade than security

Generally speaking, a person who wants to be safe is better protected by not advertising where they are, in the form of a 40 car motorcade.
If the President wants to leave the White House safely, tell him to climb into the driver seat of a Volvo. Guarantee that'd work.

You're not very good at the nuance thing, are ya?
The Secret Service can operate without 40 car motorcades. That is all I'm saying. They can defend the President without completely inconveniencing thousands of people.
