Obamacade

I had just finished two refreshing pints of Stella Artois at Ashtons (208 E 50th St) and stepped out on to the street, when Obama's motorcade came by ferrying him from a dinner at the UN to his suite at the Waldorf Astoria.

Nothing shows the trappings of power like a Presidential Motorcade. All of this to take one man four blocks.

he sure likes security huh...

[FantasticBabblings]

Not just him. They all do.

@FantasticBabblings I assume that heads of state have only a moderate amount of discretion regarding their safety details.

[FantasticBabblings]

@tbsla13 I think you're probably right. Basically the President does what the Secret Service tells him to do in matters like this.

[tbsla13]

@FantasticBabblings I've always wondered what would happen if the President punched one of his SS men ... can they hit back? :)

[FantasticBabblings]

@tbsla13 I doubt that the SS would hit back, but it might start impeachment rumblings in the House.

It is amazing how quick we are to question the purpose of all the vehicles in the president's motorcade. I have a lot more faith in the secret service who have been protecting presidents for a couple hundred years than a few on youtube who actually believe they have any idea of what it takes to protect a president.

is he travelling with the autobots?

He sure wants us to all drive hybrid cars and get rid of our SUV's, but yet you don't see him driving around in a Prius. crazy how that works.

@earlsworld70117 True according to whom or what?

[earlsworld70117]

@tbsla13 Actually, I heard where Hillary did in fact do this. A SS guy walked into a room in the White House and found Hillary and another woman having kinky Lesbian (Bulldaggar) Sex. She was so pissed that she hit him over the head with an object. The SS guy pressed charges but the incident was quickly shoved under the covers. Bad (Anal)ogy but it's true !!!

Then again.. what do I know of how much protection a president needs. =)

[2NeedForSpeed2]

3 ambulances! Wow that's a lot of protection for just him...
