Someone gave the Prez a note

I think it was just before something good passed by in the parade - I was surprised he didn't wave to it - it might have been the handicapped' dogs.

Anyway, he looked quite serious and his smile, when it returned, was not as happy as it was before he read that note.

I wonder if those roaches already sent him word declining one of his nominations...

You mean the cops and secret service couldn't handle that themselves?

All they had to do was put up a sign or spray the red zone BLUE

It probably means some terrorist they were after got away or some drone hit a busload of kids or some soldiers were killed in Afghanistan. His job is serious as shit. I'm sure crappy news crosses his desk daily. It's a credit to him that it still sucks the wind out of his public smile. The same note handed to Dubya or Romney wouldn't have caused even a crack in their veneer.
