1. It's better than what happened in Senegal

Maybe you saw the posts about that... when Jr. visited Senegal, the locals were rounded up and locked inside a soccer stadium.

Funny, I don't think I heard that on CNN or ABC or in my newspaper. That story needs to get out....

[ChickMagic]

Thanks for reminding me!

With the daily barrages of :wtf: with that thing in the WH, I had forgotten about Senegal. :scared:

3. Hmmm...

That area encompasses Parkland Hospital, a regional Salvation Army base, and one of the poorer areas of town.

Are you implying that Bush doesn't want to be in the company of the recipients of his "compassionate conservatism?" Perish the thought...

7. Nothing out of the ordinary...

Sounds like standard motorcade operating procedure.

Same thing happened to me with Bill Clinton (as long as "closed to pedestrian traffic" means you can't CROSS the street, not that you can't line it). One time I got to 34th St (NYC) just as they closed off vehicle & pedestrian cross traffic (they even shut down the subways that cross under the street), and had to wait a damn long time for them to go by.
