Just a few days after announcing that his administration would no longer deport about 800,000 young illegal immigrants, you would think that President Obama would be received as something of a hero by NALEO, the National Association of Latino Elected Officials, before whom Obama is giving a speech this afternoon in Orlando. But the Secret Service wasn't taking any chances. As hundreds of Latino elected officials were enjoying their lunch at Disney's Contemporary Resort earlier today, it was announced that forks would be collected before Obama took the stage. It was also mentioned that knives, too, were entirely absent from the lunch for "a reason."
"There's a reason why there are no knives at your table & the forks WILL be collected..I'm not joking" says NALEO host re: Secret Service

Why was it determined that Obama and forks can no longer coexist peacefully? Did the Secret Service pick up some intelligence on an unspecified fork threat to the president? We have contacted them for answers, and we will report back to you as soon as possible.

Must be afraid of the “white hispanics” in the room.
Well it was a Latino crowd and we have the movie line: “We don’t need no steenking forks. We have machetes!”
I think somebody misunderstood “fork him”.
Obama has been “forking” all of us for 3 and a half years. Now, he wants to make sure that he has an exclusive franchise on “forking.” You know, those Hispanics may want to “fork” him and he can’t stand the shoe being on the other foot!
Probably a good move on the secret services part. If they used those forks as a weapon and actually did something they would probably scream for more amnesty.
Probably OK since people are losing their appetites for being force fed BS. Obama, however, probably needs all the utensils he can get for the crow he’s going to be eating over F&F.
Someone in his security team must be hard of hearing. They misunderstood people in the crowd that greeted the limo outside the kitchen entrance when they yelled what sounded like “fork you” at the Resident.
What about SS condoms?
Are sporks OK?
That implies: ( I did not say this) “stick a fork in him he is done.”
You’d think that they would take offense to being “disarmed”.
0bama doesn’t trust being around Mexicans with sharp objects?
Racial profiling, BIG TIME!
Maybe there was a lone white forkman lurking nearby
This was in Florida. They want to make it hard for anybody to try to eat the President.
Wasn’t this the same group Romney spoke to yesterday??
Bet they didn’t collect the forks yesterday....
Dang, you beat me toe, If I'm re-elected, there will be free sporks for all Latinos."
What he won't say is that only members of the NBPP can have real forks.
Yeah...and I’m sure they did the same thing to the Hollywood folks at the $40,000 per plate dinner at Sarah Jessica Parker’s joint, too...
