An eBay seller– probably trying to authenticate some forged autographs– gets agressive with Barack Obama. But is it really worth it?

Watch about 48 seconds into the video when the Secret Service agent standing behind Obama opens his jacket. Maybe he’s just putting his hand on his hip. Or maybe not.

To be honest, I’m surprised they let the guy get that close. I guess you don’t want to make a scene or escalate the situation, but with the stakes as high as they are, should they really allow anyone that obviously agitated within reach of a presidential candidate? Any Secret Service agents or bodyguards in general out there want to weigh in?
