Prospect Of Barack Obama Show Causes UK To Clear Its Decks
With an entourage of 500 staff, an armour-plated limousine and a fleet of decoy helicopters, America's new president will arrive for his first visit to Britain amid huge razzmatazz on Tuesday for the G20 summit. But it will be his closed-door meetings with world leaders that are likely to prove the most significant of the trip

Britain will get its first chance to see Barack Obama this week when a White House cavalcade - complete with armoured limousines, helicopters, 200 US secret service staff and a six-doctor medical team - sweeps into the UK.
Obama will fly into London for his first visit to the UK as president of the United States on Tuesday to take part in the G20 summit in the capital's Docklands area. He will not be travelling light.
More than 500 officials and staff will accompany the president on his tour this week - along with a mass of high-tech security equipment, including the $300,000 presidential limousine, known as The Beast.
Fitted with night-vision camera, reinforced steel plating, tear- gas cannon and oxygen tanks, the vehicle is the ultimate in heavy armoured transport.
In addition, a team from the White House kitchen will travel with the president to prepare his food. As one official put it: "When the president travels, the White House travels with him, right down to the car he drives, the water he drinks, the gasoline he uses, the food he eats. America is still the sole superpower and the president must have the ability to handle any crisis, anywhere, any time."

Does anybody know anything about Barry's bud Reggie LOVE?
Sounds like the name of a pimp or drug dealer.
I bet he's handin' out stuff that's a little stronger than Nicorette.
Hey Wal!
Did you watch this? Did you see the black guy dancing at :23?
I swear it's Barry.
Take a look and let me know what you think.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he has an umbrella man that follows him around like Michael Jackson.Of course the tax payers would be paying his salary.You know,one of the “manyâ€â€™jobs created by the stimulus bill.
"And Obama's personal aide Reggie Love - called by the president "the kid brother I never had" - will be at hand to provide pens, Nicorette gum, throat lozenges, tea or even aspirins."
Umbrellas are another one of Reggie's functions.
What a conceited little man we have in the WH.
He is a PIG. It sounds like he’s scared sh*tless too. He needs to realize that there is nothing he can do and chill out. If some terrorist is hell bent on getting to anyone, they will eventually do it. 500 people, the WH chefs, this stupid POS is the greediest, elitist SOB. I guess it’s easy on our dollar. I’m so close to just stopping paying any taxes. I’m tired of financing failed banks, corporations, and corrupt politicians in DC. Screw them all.
What a conceited little man we have in the WH.

He is a dirtbag. No class, a total piece of sh*t.
