Obama's SUV parked in a handicapped spot for 2 hours as he enjoyed upscale sushi with his daughters in LA

Staying out of handicapped parking spaces is for little people, apparently.

Staying out of handicapped parking spaces is for little people, apparently. While you or I would face a fine of $250 to $1,000 in California for parking in a handicapped spot in front of a fancy restaurant while we spent two hours inside, if we didn't have the necessary documentation, the rules are different for Barack Obama.

The U.K. Daily Mail reports:

Former President Barack Obama's Secret Service SUV was spotted parked in a handicapped spot for two hours as he dined at a swanky West Los Angeles sushi restaurant with his two daughters.

The black SUV stayed in a spot marked for handicap parking as it waited for the Obamas to finish eating at the pricey Hamasaku restaurant, where eight-piece sushi rolls cost $50 and specialty rolls go for more than $20 each.

Video taken by a bystander shows His Excellency, dressed completely in white, stepping out of the restaurant into the SUV driven by his Secret Service detail, which had been hogging the spot right in front of the restaurant for the entire time he was inside with Sasha and Malia, who both live in California.

Moments after it pulls out, a police vehicle drives by, probably part of its motorcade, though obviously no ticket was issued for the violation:

Because the Secret Service was on duty with the vehicle while Obama was inside, the SUV easily could have been parked nearby in a legal space and summoned by radio to pick up Obama as soon as he completed his meal. That way, anyone legitimately needing the spot — on crutches, in a wheelchair, or physically distressed when walking — could have had access to it.

He is the People’s choice. So whatever he does, they are o.k. with. He was put in the White House two times by them, And one time by proxy, to wit} Lying Joe Biden. I am not one of his admirers or worshipers. AS to his daughter, that is a matter of opinion, Michelle ,A/K/A, Reggie can’t have children.

Where did all his money come from? You don’t get rich on a president’s salary. The book “deal” accounts for some of it - it’s obviously a contribution disguised as a publisher’s advance.

There’s a lot more than that. Who paid, and what did they get in return. If law “enforcement” would pay attention to that and not Trump’s mishandling of documents, we’d be closer to having a viable democratic republic.

You deny that we have elites who do as they wish. On a thread about an elite flouting the parking laws.

You are a very special kind of dense.

I have a handicap sticker. I try not to use it if I don’t really really need it on that particular day because the spots fill up fast.

In this case I would have been tempted to honk my horn and yell out the window that I need the space so can they please move.

Handicap people do get mad and call police. I saw one get enraged over a business van who was parking in a spot because it was close to repairs. She wheeled her wheelchair around, got the number on the van...and raised holy hell. There were plenty of handicap spaces available because it was 7:30 in the morning but she had a point.

Sounds like the Secret Service agent’s fault, unless Obama told him to park there.

FTA: The restaurant, located in the glitzy gay mecca of West Hollywood’s Santa Monica Boulevard

The video shows him walking like a transvestite sashaying...
Why there of all places? To be with his gay friends to show off his all white outfit.

In his defense, he only parked there because there wasn’t a spot reserved for military veterans and Purple Heard recipients,

You left out Medal of Honor Recipients which I think he must have gotten a few dozen times.

Ah yes, the ever-present tinfoil hat guys posting about the shadowy “elites.”

It's ironic, over the past few decades many of those who were called the tin foil hat crowd, conspiracy theorist, et al, were right all along. In fact, the reality is, it's much worse than many of them were claiming.

Picture Trump doing this. They would be immolating themselves on cable news.

The outrage from the media and Trump haters would be epic and endless.
