For those interested. Every American president has an entourage this size, however it does seem to grow a little every year. See that Wikipedia page for the Secret Service.

What did Clinton’s retinue look like? I don’t disagree that it MIGHT be the “standard”, but I don’t know that, either.

homunculus is correct, it’s not as if Bush decided this would be his entourage. He’s not the first president to drag a small village around with him when he travels.

I’m with C here. Sure, each President needs security, and I don’t blame him for the motorcades and decoy planes. But does he really need to bring 200 government workers, 150 security advisors, and 50 political aids??? It does seem a bit excessive…

That’s like me bringing Arnold, Denzel, and Lou Ferigno with me to the gym every time I want to work out.

You can call this “Bush’s Entourage” but it’s the president’s entourage. Doesn’t matter who the president is, unless you are trying to score points against Dubya on a personal level.

That’s what they’d like you to believe.

Not to mention that the personal chef and four cooks are ninja trained with black belt karate to maginally turn into body guards right? All is necessary for a security reasons….

No, this is not an extravagance or perk. It is a neccessity, for security reasons.

fijate si tiene que proteger a alguien tan peligroso como ese idiota. Sinceramente creo que seria mejor que lo hagan mierda y que todo lo que necesitan para protejerlo lo usen para la gente que lo necesita de en serio
