Secret Service -- See Jonny Run

Posted Aug 21st 2008 12:04PM by TMZ Staff

Barack Obama better watch his back because the Secret Service doesn't seem to be doing it so well.
Barack, Fairplay
How the hell did Jonny Fairplay, the most hated man in reality TV, get in Barack's face? Look closely at the pic -- we see at least three agents and surely there are several dozen more. What we now know is a little frightening.

The photo was taken yesterday, after an appearance at Short Sugar's BBQ in Danville, Va. Some of the joint's employees tell us Fairplay "jumped out of the woodwork" and into frame, "catching Barack off guard." We're thinkin' the Secret Service was flatfooted too. As long as we're on the subject, aren't they supposed to catch people who "jump out of the woodwork"?

UPDATE: Obama's campaign tells TMZ, "The United States Secret Service agents who protect Senator Obama and Senator McCain are some of the bravest and most capable people you will ever meet."

46. Losers love Obama. They can relate to him. To his inability to decide things. To his wifes outbursts about "Obama will not allow you to keep you house at 72 degrees.", The secret service doesn't need to be concerned, Obama is committing political suicide all by himself. When it comes to indecision, I would rather have a President who doesn't know how many houses he owns than one that doesn't know when life begins. Makes it o.k. to abort everything, sick. I have never heard such a dumb ass statement from a man hoping to get votes as "Thats above my pay grade." No it is not above your pay grade to have an opinion and a set standard that you would maintain while in office. Obama is the equivalent to a bobble head doll. Just shake your head and commit to nothing. Not a good way to run a country. we need someone who can make decisions. GO Mc Cain

49. WOW...white people (and minorities who'd sell their soul to be white) are really running SCARED! You all are so terrorfied to have the NOTION of what you deem to be superiority challenged. Like Obama's going to become President and cast all of the white people into WHITE SLAVERY! GET A F*CKING GRIP!!! The inherent sense of entitlement so many of you display is sickening...as if to say, "who does this BLACK man think he is to take advantage of the opportunities WE (white Americans) have tried so hard to keep to ourselves?!" This country will NEVER get over race. It's a damned shame.

Meanwhile, so many of you are mired in debt, have no real job security, dealing with soaring energy prices, and no healthcare, YET you're willing to hand over your stability to another conservative who has done his fair share to sell this country to the highest bidder! Unbelievable....with citizen THIS misinformed, it's no wonder Bush has had free reign for EIGHT damn years.

51. The funnier part is how many SS agents have myspace and facebook pages, real agents. I know a few, and you wouldn't want them guarding your teenage daughters, that's for sure.

53. That seals the deal!! If I was definitely on the fence about Barack before, after seeing him with that loser Jonny Fart-play, I'm definitely voting for McCain now!! LOL

55. This is a real picture with Fairplay really in it. I was there when it was taken, anyone at the Restaurant will verify it. Trust me there were about 20-25 Secret Service Agents there...he was well protected. TMZ didn't make this picture up. I too have more of these pictures with both guys in them.

Posted at 12:14PM on Aug 29th 2008 by THIS PIC IS REAL

56. The guy in the middle is not an agent. His name is Rick Siger, an advance guy. They say the best advance person is one that is never seen and never heard - yet he's in EVERY shot.
