Yes, ‘illegally’.. which ain’t happening.

So he either had to jump into a maid’s laundry cart, dress up as a bellboy or some airport staff and stowaway. He couldn’t just walk out of the hotel... it’s a big ‘un, but surely well-watched.

This could be a problem if he is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. All the South American Presidents that are outraged over the US hijacking the plane of the Bolivian President may get the UN to give him some kind of political refugee passport.

Sure he could. It's like one of those spy movies. All of us little people all over the world really want him to outsmart the US spy machine. Do you really think there's anyone in Russia who wouldn't think it's totally hilarious if he snuck out and ended up somewhere the US couldn't drone him?

Obama might be able to use scare tactics to stop countries from taking him in. But once he gets somewhere, there would be a real uproar if a government turned him over to the US.

This is all too weird for me to handle. In the US I grew up in, he'd come home and get a fair trial.
