Obama's ISIL protection program

President Obama has said that ISIL is not an "existential threat" to him and that the American people should not worry about his safety. 

"Your commander in chief is in no danger from terrorist threats, no matter if they come from Christians or Jews, or other organizations," the president said at a Cuban baseball game, where he is enjoying some time away from capitalism.

Mr. Obama spoke in front of a Cuban audience who came to watch a ballgame between the Comedores Mucosas and the Cuban Ombligos. The crowd listened in Spanish as Mr. Obama spoke in English: 

"The reason for the attacks in Brussels is still unknown, and the folks who carried out the attacks were killed by their own bomb vests. Suicide vests are never justified, and I condemn their actions in the strongest way possible--not by brutal and barbaric retaliation--that's what they want us to do--but by trying to better understand them and tell them how we feel about their brutality. Once they know that we're just like them, they'll treat us better.

"Personally, I have little fear that anything untoward will happen to me--I have the privilege of having protection: armed Secret Service agents willing to step in front of a would be assassin and take a bullet for me. That's pretty cool. [Laugh] But ordinary folks, folks like you, don't have the luxury of having that level of protection.

"Therefore, I find it necessary to eliminate firearms among Americans in order to stop the perpetuation of terrorist activities in all 57 states of our country."

 The crowd were well-behaved and did not boo or throw things at our president, but one fan who spoke some English said, "Eef he went one more minuto een hees speech, it would haf bean a problemo, mayng."

Mr. Obama is scheduled to dethroned in 2017.
