[Hoot Gibson]

Ronald Kessler is an author who formerly worked as a journalist for the Washington Post.

My guess is that if Sullivan's testimony about the threats against Obama had been misleading, Obama would have already thrown him under the bus. Kessler apparently got some bad inside information and was trying to use it to lay the blame for security breeches on the Secret Service. Another possibility is Sullivan lied under oath when he testified in the House hearing, but again - if that was the case Barack Obama (or Michelle) would have canned him.

I doubt that the Secret Service has any problem getting more funding when it is needed and they would be fools not to ask for it if they believed that it was necessary.
