"...providing security for the president is one of the toughest, most stressful jobs around. But we're not quite certain the threat forks present. Today at a meeting in Orlando, Fla., of the National Association of Latino Elected Officials, where President Obama was scheduled to give a speech, the Secret Service wasn't taking the chance..." announcing they would collect all forks being used for lunch.

[snip]

Diners were also told that knives were not made available for "a reason."

I don’t remember this coming up during the Bush administration....or am I wrong?

If somebody throws a shoe at Obama, we will all probably be forced to be barefoot in his presence...probably something he thinks we should do anyway.

I made a humble suggestion on another thread that everyone should send 0bama a fork.

He apparently needs them

..., along with some marbles.

This is my weapon.
This is my gun.
One is for fighting.
The other, for fun.

Well, you don’t need forks to eat tacos anyway. Fill the tortillas using serving spoons with meat, cheese, chopped lettuce, etc., roll em up and eat with your hands.

PS, this jack*** is a joke.

The Obama crowd thought this was the 2nd coming of Camelot...they better keep an eye on their VP and don’t have the preezy do any open top drives in downtown Dallas between now and the Nov elections.

Based on the comments at the original article, I would say Obama can stick a fork in himself.
He’s done.

Salve

Alistair Maclean have written good book call “Air Force One”

That man is in dire situation, like a wild cat, he could be unpredictable, and would do something to keep him in power, or will go away in peaceful way.(O>K)

Hell of fight you have friends.

Merci.

Over at the Ulsterman Report, WHI (White House Insider) has been reporting for months that he has heard that the obama people are planning a false flag assassination attempt before the election to try to help foster the sympathy vote for the obama. For the record, just about everything that WHI has predicted, based on what he has heard, has happened. He does appear, in fact, to be on the inside of the obama administration.

Thanks for reminding me where I had read that. Yes, he’s been accurate.

I’m no fan of fake silverware but they and paper plates come in handy for a family party though. But I try to get the larger ones as the small ones are nearly useless.
