does anyone know on what authority they have to do that???
The only possible excuse is security...and I dont even think that would fly...
she just didn’t want people snapping pictures of her chomping down on burgers and onion rings..and photographing her backside.
I wonder what she would have done if anyone had an actual regular camera rather than just a cell phone with camera.

This is true and has recently been extended to include Fed agents. I think there’s a thread on it somewhere.

there is no authority. Imagine what would happen if W ordered this. Cries of ‘Police State” would have been deafening!

I absolutely would have refused. I would say well she can wait til we are done. My cell phone is for emergencies and important stuff and I’d be darned if I’d give it up because she doesn’t want her picture taken for heavens sake.

I can certainly understand, having seen photos of the woman why she wouldn't want any more taken.

This is what the gangsters in Mexico do. Their thugs confiscate cell phones and prevent diners from leaving until the Mobster has eaten and left.
Of course, he has some honor: he picks up all the tabs. Not likely with FLOTUS.

Stories like this make me want to pluck out an eyeball so i can get a blue tooth prosthetic eyeball installed to take pictures with that.
Hmmmm.......would you really maim yourself to get a picture of Michelle "Bubba Gump" Obama, aka "Hipzilla"? Besides, Bluetooth prosthetic eyeballs are not available......

Why is it that it’s mostly n00bies posting pictures of Swastikas?
You didn’t even use a sarc tag on your comment.

She didn't have a problem at the homeless shelter. (And note the homeless guy has a cellphone.)Yah, but the homeless guy wasn't an honky taxpayer.

That's not a cellphone. It's a BlackBerry. Important distinction, especially from a cost perspective.
To: a fool in paradise
While I ‘m sure MO would love this kind of power, I’m a little dubious that the incident actually happened - no named sources, too illegal, too many witnesses.
To: Darksheare
Hmmm.
We’re too smart for them.

Expect someone to send screenshots somewhere of the posts though.
Like O’Reilly and the other morons did.
Nice and fuzzy so the poster handle cannot be identified, but legible enough for the image to be seen.
