Anorak, Obama’s kids have armed guards bc he’s the president of the United States. Received countless death threats from lunatic Americans let alone terrorists. The UK PM’s kids and much of the Royal family have guards. No brainer really. To cite hypocrisy and feed NRA loonies is extremely irresponsible.

Do note, the point being made is not that the Obama children are protected by the Secret Service. It is that the school that they attend has, completely separate from anything to do with the Obamas, some 11 armed guards on the campus. Something that does indeed leave the elite parents open to charges of something approaching hypocrisy.
