When hundreds of tea-party protesters – including many elderly women – gathered outside a civic center where President Obama was giving a public speech Wednesday, they were surprised to be greeted by police dispatched in full riot gear.

First the SWAT team, and now the riot squad. What’s next?

To all tea party foke that love this country, please consider this tune the next time the fake Obama staging machine kicks into high gear... We Shall Overcome

Obama told the crowd, "[W]hen I travel now, it I kind of causes a ruckus."

There. Fixed it!

Fun and posted (here earlier)

This would be laughable if the implications weren’t so serious.

This is a non story, imo. We look silly posting such stuff. If it were McCain instead of Obama, it would be the same police presence. Get a grip people.

Name ONE time President Bush ever called out the riot police when he travelled.

The anti-war demonstrators pretty much had free rein.

Code Pink walks the halls of congress with no constraints. They crash the congressional hearing rooms with no constraints.

What are you smoking?

I agree completely. Yes, for every Presidential event there is Secret Service and local police protection, but having SWAT teams and riot gear is not standard.

Well now we know why he wants to knock them off re Obamacare, he’s scairt of them

[don-o]

Why is tight security and a show of overwhelming force for POTUS a bad thing? Y’all have to help me out on this one.

[truthbetold11]

He should know how to deal with grannies. His supposed one ided before the election

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Yeah, that and the fact that this story got WIDE coverage on FR yesterday......certainly not a breaking news story....

[ZX12R]

Before calling out riot squad, aren’t they suppose to wait for...well...riots?

[dragnet2]

[don-o]

ided?

Huh?

I wonder if there are any photos of President Bush's visits with riot teams on the scene.

I remember watching a whole lot of his events and don't remember seeing this.

Can you post a similar scene with President Bush or Clinton?

(I'm not being sarcastic. I truly don't remember ever seeing this before as standard SS protection).
