First of all, we're a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy. Important difference.

Second of all, this is total nonsense. It reminds me of the scene in "The King and I" where Ms. Leonowens is admonished that nobody's head, under ANY circumstances, can be higher than the King's head. The security of this event is nothing short of obscene, as is the cost of the thing; I don't recall the current figure, but it's somewhere in the region of 50,000,000 dollars! OUR TAX MONEY, taken from us by FORCE, is paying for this thing and we're not even allowed to LOOK at the man?

This is a man who is frightened for his life, and with good reason.
