Obama’s Portable Zone of Secrecy (Some Assembly Required)
New York Times ^ | November 10 2013 | MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT and ERIC SCHMITT

Posted on 11/10/2013 1:36:52 PM PST by MeshugeMikey

When President Obama travels abroad, his staff packs briefing books, gifts for foreign leaders and something more closely associated with camping than diplomacy: a tent.

Even when Mr. Obama travels to allied nations, aides quickly set up the security tent — which has opaque sides and noise-making devices inside — in a room near his hotel suite. When the president needs to read a classified document or have a sensitive conversation, he ducks into the tent to shield himself from secret video cameras and listening devices.

His really, really important conversations are conducted in Arabic ... but no one ever hears him do this.

It’s for reenacting his favorite scenes from Brokeback Mountain.

“Cone of silence”

Ha, ha, ha! That and the shoe phone.

If the SOB is always lying, what difference does it make if they overhear him? Unless, of course, he’s ordering dinner for Mooschelle. “She’ll have the triple Lotta-Burger with extra cheese and bacon, two super-sized orders of fries, triple chocolate shake and a Bloomberg-banned Coke. Half a cheesecake with ice cream for dessert.”

I think he does that himself.

He has used a tsster when dining out, to keep from being poisoned. The really fantastic thing is that effective assasination poisons today will render a taster completely useless. You only keel over after a few days.

See Litvinenko.

What’s the point?

the community organizer has already given away every secret he gets his hands on. Maybe it is to keep his treasonous behavior from patriots.

Cut him some slack; he’s just channeling Muammar Qaddafi.

Yes, with ricin have a 4 to 8 hour delay between ingesting the poison and the first symptom, the target and the taster might drop together or the taster be the second to drop. For cyanide though, a taster could be handy.
