Is the USSS also responsible for the security of presidential candidates or do they have own private bodyguards? Obama wants to visit Berlin and we still remember the anger, the USSS made over here with they security paranoia, when Bush was here.

As soon as they are announced official candidates, they are entitled to SS protection.
Of course, Hillary, as a former first bitc - - - ummm, I mean first lady - - - already had the SS protection.

Both candidates are currently under the protection of the USSS.
While traveling abroad, the USSS works with the local entity (while in safe countries), the military(while in a combat zone) and the State Department (while in nations with ambassadorships) to coordinate and assist in providing additional security.
Protection is an involved process that requires a great deal of coordination, timing and professionalism.Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence!
[George Washington (1732 - 1799)]

As said, once announced as a cadidate, they are entitled to USSS protection. However, they are allowed, just like former POTUS, to decline the service.
McCain, IIRC, didn't have a protection detail for some time, until it was announced by a "reporter", he then accepted the detail.“The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed."
"You go for a man hard enough and fast enough, he don't have time to think about how many's with him; he thinks about himself, and how he might get clear of that wrath that's about to set down on him."

Well annoying was, that when Bush was here 3 years ago to visit Mainz. A whole Highway was closed. I don't know if you know our highway, but try to close the Center of Los Angeles. Then you know what I saying.
Or that USSS trys to command our Officers of the BKA (Federal Crime Bureau) who are responsible for our politicians. I talked to one of them and he really got rid of the behaviour of the USSS.
Well... ok. If they think so..... maybe one way to be save in the world as PROTUS could be, not to make too many enemies in the world.

As for the USSS guys, well the local agents who are permanently assigned to cities, who act as liasons are generally pretty good as we interact with them all the time sometimes socially. However the traveling agents (the ones in suits) can be, how should I say it, a little less than polite at times. However their job can be stressful with the travel and the job responsiblity and all.The comments made herein are those solely of author and in no way reflect the opinions of any other person, agency or other entity.
