Priceless Obama moment

Our new Irishman-in-chief, seems to have a wee bit of a problem.

I thought they researched this stuff before the prez gets there, not after the fact.

Priceless

I guess he'll just have to walk to his engagement

Excellent start for Europe tour.

What will happen in London? Too little space to turn in street corner?

Platapus · 05-23-11, 05:20 PM

There are some USSS guys looking for a new job I reckon.

This is something that should not happen.

Yeah. They could have painted "TARGET HERE" with nice big letters to rear passenger doors as well...

They filled the potholes on the road for him, what more does he want?

All the routes that the POTUS will be traveling should be examined and tested for trafficability for all the vehicles in the motorcade.

Any road that can't handle the motorcade is excluded from the list of primary, secondary, ... routes that the USSS plans out.

Nothing is assumed, presumed, or untested.

They may not be fired, but they won't be working protective services anyway. And rightfully so. This is an inexcusable error in judgment and implementation.

Could you imagine if there was an incident and the POTUS' beast could not leave the area??

It wasn't a road, it was the US embassy driveway.
