Ex-Secret Service Agent: Obama Uses Govt as 'Personal Weapon'

President Barack Obama's religion is the government, and he uses it as a "personal weapon," says former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino.

"He uses government not as a political weapon, he uses it as a personal weapon against his enemies . . . Punish those who don't support us," Bongino told "The Steve Malzberg Show on Newsmax TV.

"[Obama] does what's best for his ideology . . . His religion is government. And when your religion is government, you do anything to further that because it really relies on faith. It doesn't rely on evidence."

Bongino — who guarded Presidents Obama and George W. Bush and is author of the new book "Life Inside the Bubble: Why a Top-Ranked Secret Service Agent Walked Away From it All" — thinks Americans are suffering for that view.

"Just like someone trying to tell you, if you're a Christian, Jesus Christ didn't exist, it's your faith. It's his faith in government that, despite the evidence, he sticks to it no matter what," Bongino said.

"But the penalty's not real for him. He's got his own doctor in the White House. The penalty's for us. We're the ones getting punched in the face [with the Affordable Care Act]."

"He believes in this ideological quest . . . Like we're the anointed ones and we're going to rule over your lives, and that is ultimately his North Star no matter what."

The Affordable Care Act, he says, "should prove my point. It's slapping you in the face right now how big government medicine can't possibly work."

Bongino's book, published by WND Books, is described as an insider's look at the "'presidential bubble,' a haze of staffers, consultants, cronies, acolytes, bureaucrats and lobbyists that creates the 'alternate reality' in which monumental policy decisions are made."

Bongino is running for the U.S. House seat from Maryland's 6th Congressional District in 2014.
