LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. --Does a fork or dinner knife pose an unacceptable danger to President Barack Obama?

One wouldn’t think so, given the hundreds of lunches and dinners he’s attended ranging from state dinners to political fundraisers to run-of-the-mill stops on the rubber-chicken circuit.

However, at one such lunch Friday afternoon, guests heard an unusual announcement that they needed to hand over their silverware for security reasons.

“It’s very important that you use your utensils as soon as possible,” National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials board member Raquel Regalado told about 1000 delegates at the group’s annual conference.

Regalado hurried the diners to finish up their salads and pre-cut chicken breasts, saying that the Secret Service required that there be no knives at the tables and that the forks be rounded up before Obama entered the room.

“As you know, we’re having another speaker and there is some Secret Service involved. So there’s a reason why there’s no knives at your table and the forks will be collected…..And I’m not joking,” Regalado told the audience in a ballroom at Disney’s Contemporary Resort at Walt Disney World. “So, like the good Hispanic mother I’m here to tell you to please, eat your lunch.”

A Secret Service spokesman confirmed that the agency made the request, but said such requirements are common at large events where the president speaks at about the same time people are dining....

Hey Diddle Diddle,
The Cat and the fiddle,
The Coward jumped over the moon,
The little Dog laughed to see such fun,
And the Dish ran away with the SSpoon!

Is there something even worse than his complete hiding of his past? Worse than his past claims to be Kenyan? His association with communist terrorists? Larry Sinclair? Choom Gang? Worse than "Fast and Furious"? Worse than 0bamacare?

All of the above has been laying the groundwork for the REAL change.

If you believe it can't get any worse, that is truly scary.
The Great Uniter is continuing to stonewall the Congress, the Supreme Court and the American people and getting away with it!

OK ... so what do you think the "REAL change" is supposed to be?

WTFIGO? Is this the New Dictator? the new Stalin? the new Chairman Mao?

Dictator's do not trust anyone with even the most basic implements. They are constantly paranoid and do everything in their power to control their environment. Obama is starting to show his colors. He KNOWS the jig is up.

Let this serve as a warning, folks. When someone with narcissistic personality disorder starts to become paranoid, you run the risk of violence. Obama is going to start getting violent. He's going to start casting aspersions at large groups of people in the country, labeling them as dangerous "fringe groups."

I predict another Waco or Ruby Ridge. He's becoming very unstable, and it should be a concern for Americans.
