Ten College Republicans were dubbed a security threat and refused admittance to President Barack Obama’s speech at the University of Central Missouri on Wednesday.
Despite the fact that the students had tickets to the event, security personnel turned them away at the door to the recreation center where Obama gave a speech on economic policy, telling the group it wasn’t about their politics but the president’s safety, State Treasurer of the College Republicans Courtney Scott told The College Fix.
The students, some of whom donned Tea Party T-Shirts and others who wore patriotic or Republican-inspired clothing, had protested the president earlier in the day on campus, but had put away their signs and said they were ready to simply listen to Obama when security shut them down – and even told them to leave the vicinity and stay several hundred yards away from the rec center.
The students had waited in a long line and under the hot sun to wind their way to the front of the line two hours in advance of Obama’s scheduled 5:30 p.m. remarks. Still, they were rejected.
“It just didn’t make any sense,” Scott told The Fix. “A lot of us traveled several hours to watch the speech. We were very disappointed not to be able to attend.”
The small group of College Republicans were confused as to why such extreme security precautions were directed at them – but not at the 2,500 other audience members who were granted admission to the event, Scott said.Read the rest of the story HERE.
Next time you try to attend an Obama event, bring an illegal immigrant along just in case. Preferably one with a DUI on his record. You can use the illegal as a character reference. Even better, tell them at the door he/she hasn't registered to vote.

Perhaps they were a security threat to the Obama propaganda machine - heckling, boos and protest signs weren't quite what the Imposter-In-Chief's handlers had in mind for this dog and pony show - but they certainly weren't a security threat to anything else.
My advise to these Young Republicans:
