“President Barack Obama gave himself and his wife Michelle the benefit of armed protection for the rest of their lives by signing a bill granting a Secret Service detail to former presidents and their spouses in perpetuity. The new law, which will cost U.S. millions of dollars, is a re-instatement of a 1965 law which will see presidents protected for life as well as their children up to age 16. The bill passed the House and Senate in December. Obama, whose Secret Service codename is Renegade, joked in 2011 that he liked the fact that ‘men with guns’ protected his daughters, Malia, now 14, and Sasha, now 11.”
