    Obama to meet with world leaders in China, India

    A little light reading for him before his trip:

    Logan Act
    § 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments.
    Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply himself, or his agent, to any foreign government, or the agents thereof, for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.

    1 Stat. 613, January 30, 1799, codified at 18 U.S.C. § 953 (2004).

    We're going to be seeing this for a long time. Look at Bubba, out of office for many years and still on the global stage. Fortunately, neither clown will be able to do anything to affect us in a negative way. At least I hope not.

    Biggest issue I have with national politicians is this one. They no longer see themselves as elected representatives of the AMERICAN PEOPLE, but as some sort of privileged players on the world stage. This has got to end.

    Has anyone told these "world leaders" that Obama is no longer president?
    To quote someone, "Elections have consequences."

    There is an assumption that this wasn't cleared with the State Department. If he discusses the implementation of US policy, in regards to those nations, nail him with the Logan Act... odds are the i's and t's are dotted and crossed, and this isn't an issue.

    Obama arrived in Paris, at a restaurant, an hour ago.

    It almost seems that they believe they (US politicians) have complete diplomatic immunity.

    Section 6 - Compensation
    [STRIKE](The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be
    ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States.) (The preceding
    words in parentheses were modified by the 27th Amendment.)[/STRIKE] They shall in all
    Cases,
    [STRIKE] except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace,[/STRIKE] be privileged from Arrest [STRIKE]during
    their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning
    from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be
    questioned in any other Place.[/STRIKE]

    Outside of his comparatively small Secret Service detail, why would the taxpayers pay for anything else?

    I don't know. He gets lifetime secret service protection which I think is BS. What I'm not sure of is what other freebies he gets as ex-POTUS.

    It's gotta cost plenty to fly him and his entourage around the world stopping at several places. Where is the money coming from?
