How do you know, Darth? Maybe she had an IED in there! She falls down in the middle of the street until the motorcade stops to help out, then --BOOM!
More likely they'd swerve around her and accelerate.

She should of requested to cross to get a late term abortion; the secret service would of carried her across the street.

As much as I despise Obama, this sort of thing is not really his fault. Security arrangements are controlled by the Secret Service. The Secret Service has been ultra paranoid since Kennedy was shot.

I blame him because it is a part of the pattern of his behavior. He is perfectly willing to shut down streets and businesses just because he wants to grab a burger or some bullshit. He feels he is entitled.
When Bush Jr. visited Colorado Springs when I lived there to give a speech or something the notice was given that the way from Peterson AFB to the event would be closed from say, 9-9:30am and then 2-2:30pm. The motorcade also moved at a very high rate of speed. My guess is to make a bomb or missile shot very hard to hit it, but it made for a quick get in/get out with minimal disruption to civilians lives too.
No one really minded it. I've seen events where Obama's security will shut down the entire street for hours and fuck with everyone's schedules and lives.

There is one thing I totally hate about websites like this one. Shoot the ad execs who think that you need to replace your whole screen with some retarded advertisement for some cause or pol.
It makes people who might side with you hate you.
[WASHINGTON.CBSLOCAL] Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... defied a Federal Aviation Administration ban and flew into Israel's main airport Wednesday in a sign of sheer will to achieve a cease-fire agreement in the warring Gazoo Strip despite little evidence of progress in ongoing negotiations aimed at halting fighting that's left at least 31 Israelis and 650 Paleostinians dead.
Kerry's arrival in Israel came as Israeli troops battled Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,forces of Evil near a southern Gazoo Strip town as dozens of Paleostinian families trapped by the fighting scrambled to flee the area.
It also came as Israel closed the border crossing into Gazoo at Erez "until further notice," citing the heavy fighting.
Kerry planned to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... and United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... Secretary-General the ephemeral Ban Ki-moon ... of whom it can be said to his credit that he is not Kofi Annan... during what appeared to be a crucial day in the flailing talks.
Kerry reported some progress, reports the Rooters news agency, which quotes him as saying soon after he got to Jerusalem for a meeting with Ban,"We have certainly made some steps forward. There is still work to be done."
Kerry flew to Tel Aviv from Cairo, where he met Tuesday with Egypt's president and other high-level officials.

They did put then through a metal detector. The BS detector however overloaded and caught fire as Kerry was approaching it.

[The Nation (Pak)] President Barack Obama Jedi mind meld... told a group of young black, Hispanic, Native American and Asian men that they need be proud of their backgrounds and draw strength from their cultures, but ignore people who accuse them of "acting white."
Obama shared the advice to the young men as part of his "My Brother's Keeper" program that is marshalling private and public resources to help more boys from minority groups succeed, a program that he views as an important part of his legacy. Obama said students are sometimes discouraged from "reading too much" or "speaking so properly" because of "the notion of 'acting white.'"
"The notion that there's some authentic way of being black, that if you're going to be black you have to act a certain way and wear a certain kind of clothes, that has to go," Obama said. "You don't have to act a certain way to be authentic. You just have to be who you are - and to go back to the values that you care about."

First time I've ever agreed with him! -at least with the portion of said article cited.

Rigorous academic study and achievement are not necessary when Affirmative Action becomes the promise. Looking white is simply a modern cultural taboo.
The esteemed African-American social reformer, orator, writer and statesman the late Frederick Douglas is a good example.

Is it still legal for a black person to act or assimilate into the larger culture if they want to, e.g. not be racist, not be bothered by being called a racist or an Uncle Tom, give up notions of a thug culture, become well-educated, speak well, embrace America and believe in the Constitution, love liberty and freedom, and wear your pants up around your waist rather than down around your butt?

Guess those poll numbers really do suck. Someone is paying attention in the crisis room. Got to get the message out to herd enough back on to the plantation party with sweet talk rather than the usual ten minutes of hate demagoguery.

No JohnQC, Title IX of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended in subsequent years specifically prohibits interfering with all of the practices you outlined... /sarc off
National Review 21 Jul:
Sources say immigration agents believe the federal government is deliberately not giving them work.
By Ryan Lovelace
President Obama is encouraging ICE - Immigration and Customs Enforcement - officers to slack off on the job, former border cops tell National Review Online.
Some ICE officials think the Obama administration has intentionally neglected to give them orders to support efforts to resolve the crisis on Americas southwestern border, says Ronald Colburn, former national deputy chief of the U.S. Border Patrol. As a result, the wave of unaccompanied children from Central America is unfolding while ICE officials cool their heels.
Theyre sitting still at their desks reading newspapers, playing video games on their government computers because theyre not being tasked with work, and they feel like its coming all the way down from the top, Colburn tells NRO. These are guys that do want to go out more, but basically theyre not. Colburn says some ICE agents go work out at the gym for four hours each day because they have little work to do. Meanwhile, he says, the Obama administration continues to strangle Border Patrol agents who must process and handle the latest flood of Central Americans rather than stand guard at the border.
I'm planning to move my family and extended family into Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me.
We're planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico , and we'll need your help to make a few arrangements.
We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws.
I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your buddy, The President of Mexico, that I'm on my way over?
Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:
1. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
3. Please print all Mexican Government forms in English.
4. I want my grandkids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bi-lingual) teachers.
5. Tell their schools they need to include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my grandkids to see the American flag on one of the flag poles at their school.
7. Please plan to feed my grandkids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.
9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico , but I don't plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won't make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my housetop, put U.S. flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.
13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say critical things about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy.
14. I want to receive free food stamps.
15. Naturally, I'll expect free rent subsidies.
16. I'll need income tax credits so that although I don't pay Mexican taxes, I'll receive money from the government.
17. Please arrange it so that the Mexican Government pays $4,500.00 to help me buy a new car.
18. Oh yes, I almost forgot, please enroll me free into the Mexican Social Security program so that I'll get a monthly income in retirement.
I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all his people who walk over to the U.S. from Mexico .. I am sure that the President of Mexico won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.
