Frankly I saw the 4 1/2 minute spot, and I’m not blown away with outrage. It only mentions the president’s kids have 11 guards at their school. No where in the ad does it suggest that every kid should be as protected as the president’s kids, and no where in the ad does it suggest that the president’s kids shouldn’t have protection. The ad also states that David Gregory’s kids are protected by armed guards at their school(s)… Is that outrageous too? I’m not one who believes that more guns = safer environment, always… and I have noticed that a lot of these shooting incidents occur at schools with guards on duty, so I don’t make any claims about the effectiveness of the practice, and I’m certainly not arguing for it. But the ad isn’t all that offensive… Or maybe I saw the wrong ad, or I’m missing something.
