No forkin' way: Secret Service bans utensils at Obama speech

"...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."

A luncheon without utensils. Sounds like they should have held it in a secure psychiatric unit. Dress code: straight jackets.

it would be blamed on some 'evil, Christian, gun-owner, Constitution reading 'bitter clinger'

In order for this to work the person would have to be a singularity of invisible-ness.
In other words, no family, friends, co-workers etc. The left wackos have
tried things before hoping the Right would be blamed until they were found out
and the story was plastered all over page-100 in every news paper and every 4am 10-sec news cast.

It isn’t hard to go to DC when Obama isn’t there.

Not that he would likely be seen by an ordinary American anyway.

If I were looking for Obama I would find Air Force One. That is where he spends most of his time.

No forks? LOL
I’m surprised they’re allowing the masses to wear shoes. Stilletos can be dangerous when thrown from a distance.

If I recall correctly, there was once a flying shoe present in the presence of a President.

Spoon is deadlier than a fork - anyone with brains will stab with the shaft instead of the working end; and the working end of a spoon gives a better grip without poking holes in your own hand.

Quick! Quick! We need statistics to send to the MSM

How many people have been attacked by forks?

How many people have been hospitalized because of fork attacks?

How many people have died from a fork attack?

This is CRAZY! Seriously! The Won is loosing it big time!

"I can’t remember where I saw it but some people are swearing there’s going to be a fake assasination attempt. To drum up the sympathy vote."

A sympathy vote? LOL

"Vote for XXX, he was almost assassinated. Do not deny XXX's right to be fully assassinated. Vote early and vote often."

Isn't Barry willing to die for his country?

IMO, he's not worth the price of a bullet or spending time in jail for.

Have you seen the menu?

Soup, jello topped with peas and ice cream for dessert.

Who needs a fork?

I wonder if there would be outrage by the MsM if they outlawed pens and pencils.
Or maybe these days a Stylus. A pen is more deadly than any fork I've seen at a
dinner table.
