"People have criticised me because my security detail is larger than the president's. But you must ask yourself: are there more people who want to kill me than who want to kill the president? I can assure you there are"

- Marion Berry

About this Quote

Marion Berry's quote is a humorous action to criticism of his security information being bigger than the president's. He is indicating that there are more people who want to kill him than the president, and thus he requires more security. This could be interpreted as Berry having a higher profile than the president, or that he is more likely to be targeted by criminals. It could likewise be interpreted as Berry having a higher sense of self-preservation than the president. Whatever the case, Berry's quote is a smart method of resolving criticism of his security detail. It is a suggestion that despite the fact that he might have more security than the president, it is for an excellent reason.
