Special privileges? HRC ROOM

HILLARY CLINTON ROOM

Yeah they closed the airpace over the island for the event. And if you knew NYC you would know why but clearly you just want to make HRC look bad.

LaGuardia Airport is a hop skip and a jump from Roosevelt Island and the flight lanes for planes going south go over the northern end of the island. Helicopters would get in the way of those flight lanes.

This event was announced 2 weeks ago so the threat was there. The Clintons are Secret Service protected for a reason. The amount of death threats they get is enormous.

How dare the authorities want the event to be safe!

her team, great job, guys, just great. I loved the speech, she came out great, looked great and she spread her warmth all around. Now is the time for all to work harder. I am ready.

Become President? Secretary of State? First Lady?

Dammit. I have a lot of catch up to do to get that sweet, sweet constant threat from conservatives, gun nuts, and other idiots.

LOL. I got held for an hour in a plane on the tarmac at Burbank because AirForce One was flying into SFO (Obama Silicon Valley fundraiser), which was my destination too. It's the usual protocol. Hell, as bizarre as the Secret Service have been lately, I'm glad to hear they are still taking something seriously.

The Secret Service would have made exactly the same arrangement for any other candidate. It's their job to.make sure no one decides the election with a gun.

Even before he was the Democratic nominee he was given a Secret Service detail for his safety.

Common sense is common sense.

from the moment the candidate announces. Bernie has it, O'Malley has it, and each and every passenger in the Clown Bus has it.
