Lets see why he would be hated he calls our military baby killers, he calls terrorist community organizers, he taxes everyone, he is helping to ruin health care, with the democratic congress they want to tax our life savings and 4O1's and takeaway the Medicare to seniors or at least cut back. He won't protect America but he will trash America. He has taken over the mortgage companies, banks, insurance and GM. He gives a sweetheart deal the the union leaders and give 500 billion to Al Gore to build cars in Finland. He lies about Global warming, taxes, cap and trade plus you can't believe a word he says unless it is to raise taxes. He said there would be change and that is all we have left after his taxes. O I almost forgot the real jobless rate is now over 20% and that is where interest rates are heading. O I almost forgot every terrorist in the world would love to kill the president of the USA. For all you Obama haters if he was to die in office who is next? Joe Biden help-- and then Nancy Pelosi. We don't pay the secret service enough.

Due to her former first lady status Hillary has always had secret service protection and would have had it no matter what.
I would say that Obama's secret service protection stems from racism and his identity being a black man rather than a democrat. I'm sure Colin Powell would have had to have protection this early on had he been running on the GOP platform.

it was decided by the SS to cover Obama. Hillary receives protection automatically as a former first lady, like Barbara Bush.
I guess its becuase so many conservatives are racist and violent gun nuts who will do harm to a liberal candidate.

Hillary Clinton is the wife of an ex-president. All the presidents wife's automatically get protection. I think you already know why Obama get it. I am sure because of the crazy world we live in he has received racial threats. Really a juvenile question. You should know better.

It is possible that some people consider some to be a threat to the country or ourselves and our freedoms.
Might be one possibility

Maybe it's just that Republicans are man enough to protect themselves.

When the Republicans get a viable candidate they will have secret service protection as well.
