That has to be one of the stupidest things I have ever seen.
One would think that security vehicles would have run flat tires so that just such an occurrence wouldn’t slow them down.
Oh, it was lightning. A previous thread led me to believe he quit because of the rain.
I don’t understand how they knew it was flat tire blow out from natural causes rather than something else.
It didn’t have to be a gun. Someone could have laid things on the road.
I am still laughing over the title of this thread. One of the funniest I have seen in awhile.
The Fool is lucky he's not laying in a morgue, crispy fried right now.
Woo-Hoo! Go Drudge..!
Same fools that voted for the snake charmer, Ty HMD!
We want this behavior among liberals during thunderstorms to be ENCOURAGED. "Boy, you looked great with that metal chair on your head at the rally!" or "Hey, let's all run under that big tree over there!" or "The lightening won't hurt you if you take off your sandals and get your toes firmly planted in the mud (with a chair on your head and under that tree, of course)."
I don’t know which is better the twix commercial, “need a moment”, or southwest airline, “wanna get away?”.
Obama might want to rethink some things going forward.
He doesn’t like being there among thpse in uniform.
Look at the glare.
Probably cannot believe he cannot stop the thunderstorm all by himself!
Who's to say that someone didn't purposely switch back to standard tubeless tires just for this president's term? Hmmm?

“And He said to them, “I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning.” -Jesus, via the book of Matthew.
“The sky, sunny for hours while people assembled in 5,000 folding chairs, blackened right before the program began. Lightning cracked at the conclusion of the Pledge of Allegiance and the downpour came just as the president was introduced.”
obama: Curses! Foiled again!
Not the photo-op obama was hoping for, but it’s the one he deserves. lol
The nefarious, Chicago-thug matters he was attending to rather than the Arlington ceremony, are not hidden from God.
Excellent questions Kristinn, they have become too lax. Makes me wonder if we are really under attack. With the latest incident being the amtrak train derailment.
There is a G-d, and he’s laughing at brokko.
