L'AQUILA, Italy — The Secret Service is confident it can get President Barack Obama out of harm's way if there is any earthquake aftershock large enough to threaten safety at a summit meeting in Italy, a top aide said Wednesday.
“They wouldn't let us do anything that put anybody in danger,” White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said as Air Force One flew to Italy from Russia.
“And obviously there's plenty of planning, plenty of planning on what to do if by chance something were to happen.”
After a stop in Rome, Obama was heading about 50 miles East to L'Aquila, site of an April 6 earthquake that killed 298 and displaced some 65,000 from their homes. The Italian government moved the summit to the site from the originally scheduled location at La Maddalena, Sardinia to draw world attention to the relief efforts there.

They war game everything. Probably have a plan in case the Pope grabs a machete and goes postal at the G8.

Surely, the false God can overcome any natural calamity without any help from the Secret Service. If he thinks he can walk on water, then surely he can rise above an earthquake.
