Nobody said an incumbent President shouldn't have his Secret Service detail with him.
What I'm saying is WHY do the taxpayers have to pay for it when he's campaigning?
He raised a billion dollars to run for President...let the money for AirForce One, his staff, his Secret Service contingency, advance teams, etc. come from the campaign funds when he is on the campaign trail.
The same for any other candidate. Romney, for instance should have to pay for all of his own travel and security as well from his campaign funds.
The U.S. govt. shouldn't be footing the bill for that from the taxpayers pocket.
