Will they have loaded weapons?

[GreyFriar]

No loaded weapons, or even carrying weapons. So says the local tv stations. Army folks just to stand around and hope to intimidate folks into being good.

Well Bush Solved that little problem, didn't he.

There is something weird with this guy. He has been the most protected person since the day he ran for president. Why? I don't get. Why is he so special? What does the government/Secret Service know that warrants special attention for this guy?

It’s all just a show. The left is going to play up the non-existent, domestic, terrorist nonsense, like the Clintonistas did.

O’s administration is going to milk the terrorist threat for all it is worth, but O’s administration is the greatest threat this nation has ever faced, and it will do more harm than any outside enemy we’ve ever had.

Agreed...and Obama put in an insurance policy...his VP is "I can't count to 4" Biden.
