“President Obama needs armed security because he faces ‘serious, persistent and credible threats on a daily basis,’ the White House said in response to a petition meant to undercut his push for new gun controls. The petition garnered more than 40,000 signatures. The White House dismissed the call to disarm the president’s security detail, noting that Congress mandated full-time protection of the president after the third assassination of a sitting president in 1901. ‘Those who are the subject of ongoing threats must receive the necessary and appropriate protection,’ the White House wrote in its response.”
