I am waiting to exhale.

1. I actually had the same thought, knowing what #41 is capable of...
Would not trust that A**hole for anything... Hope he has left the State and is back in DC.

...... snipers ....... everywhere he goes ......... snipers ......... like, he can't GO to the store to buy some milk, but if he could ...... he'd take some snipers with him.

This is one of them getting into position before the All Star game....



Breathe child ..... he needs your vote in 2012 ..... and he needs you to call your congresspeople and demand a PO! There's a greater chance that you and I will die from lack of health insurance than there is of anyone harming a hair on that man's head. ;)

5. Can you imagine going around
with a bullet proof vest on bc you know there's some who want to kill and it's better to be safe.

Poor JFK..in retrospect it would have been really smart to go down that street in a bullet proof car with a Roof on it. Poor thing..poor us.

8. I'd be more bothered by the fact that I couldn't run out to the store...
..... to get some milk.

I think of Michelle every time I go to the grocery store .... maybe she hated shopping, but I enjoy it .... browsing the products, picking the shampoo you want because it's in a pretty bottle ..... buying something on impulse.

She may be able to do that again at some point in her life, but certainly not any time soon. I'd be growing some peppers in my backyard too .... just so I could feel like I had some control over the matter.

11. I have noticed his "bulletproof" wardrobe on occassion. You can see it
Edited on Fri Oct-16-09 09:45 PM by Phx_Dem
if you look carefully -- I aways look for the bulk around his back area because it makes me feel better knowing he's wearing it.

6. It's sad we even have these thoughts ...
but, yeah, I'll admit I'll exhale a bit too when he flies out.

7. Thank you for that information.
I was worried too when I heard he was headed for Texas.
(Most people my age still get pretty nervous. I lost John and Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King before I turned 26. (And yes, it felt that personal.)

10. Yeah - Presidents don't parade around in convertables any more -
proved to be a bad idea.
The Secret Service is actually very good at what they do.
