Barrack and the 1st Amendment

[DarkSideR]

Bill HR-347 was recently signed into order by Obama. This bill was 1st voted on by the congress who overwhelmingly voted against it in a 399-3 vote.

Obama being not only above the law but also above the Constitution of the United States Of America recently signed HR-347 into action well under the radar. And for obvious reasons.

The bill states that there cannot be any protesting anywhere the President, Vice President, or the Secret Service is.

I searched for a noteworthy news article to post a link here but we are seeing yet another example of the media protecting Obama. No major news corporation has reported on it. But here is something to get you started.

How could that be ? It doesn't make any sense at all, but, not much from this administration does. It must be all about transparency I guess.

According to the Snopes article you linked, the House approved the bill 399-3 rather than rejected as you posted.  One of the two is incorrect.

The reason it wasn't covered by news media is it wasn't news.
