What about tea party Flash Mobs

I think it was Susan Sarandon’s character in “The Client.”

Yes, Eddie Murphy was Buddy Love.

At least he’s not a doctor.

As far as Obama’s “personal assistant”, I think Michelle could get him an aspirin or dial his phone. Besides, wasn’t Reggie Love the character Eddie Murphy played in The Nutty Professor?

Bush was travelling in a post 9/11 world and was a much bigger target due to his significantly larger cajones.

But in any case, please get off this whole “change” issue. Obama did not say he was going to change every detail of every thing just for the sake of it, which is what you seem to want to do.

Chap…I will concede the point that we just don’t know how many people it takes for the trip. You are right. I do think it would be very interesting to find out exactly what purposes they all serve.

Now about this whole “change thing”. Again, you are correct. Obama didn’t mean he would change these kinds of things. But the American people thought that’s what he meant. What he actually meant was he was going to change America into a socialist country with the government running our private lives and watch out if you oppose him because big brother is watching you. We saw a glimpse of that with Joe the Plumber…but Obama’s sheeple just ignored the warning signs and got him elected. Now we are seeing the true change he was talking about. Not change with deficit spending. Or change with lobbyists. Or change with earmarks. Or change with partisan politics. He just wants to change us into Zimbabwe. I get it.

Let’s see…security…we won’t skimp on that…Maybe 100 or so. And Michelle’s hairdresser, nannys for the children…O.K. Teleprompter repairpeople, O.K. Who else needs to go? I’m serious.

I have no idea, nor do you. You throw out 100 secret service people. Bush travelled with 250, Obama has 200. That leads me to believe it is probably a safe bet that the Secret Service feels they need 200. But armchair quarterbacks here say 100 without any basis of information. Or say that x number of advisors or staff is unnecessary, again without having any clue what goes on in these places or what these people actually do when over there.

But in any case, please get off this whole “change” issue. Obama did not say he was going to change every detail of every thing just for the sake of it, which is what you seem to want to do. And even when there is evidence of change (A 30% reduction in staffing? Again, how is that not very significant?) you dismiss it as apparently not being change-y enough for your no doubt unbiased tastes.

The whole point with pointing out Bush’s numbers is that it maybe, just maybe, is evidence that a president needs a crapload of people to ensure his safety and provide him with everything he needs to do his job? The whole point is that its not like Obama just came up with 500 out of the blue when all the previous presidents travelled with 2 guards and a steno.

happy,

Bush travelled with people. The only option for “change” under your logic is apparently to travel with no people. We don’t think that is realistic now do we?

And lets not get too silly with the whole “change” thing here.

“Obama gets daily ecurity briefings.”

“OMG! Bush got daily security briefings too! WHAT HAPPENED TO CHANGE, OBAMA?”

You are kidding…right? I expected better from you, Chap. That is really lame. You have ignored the fact that you are missing the point…the point being that Obama ran against the Bush administration and policies…BIG TIME. That was his mantra, and the mantra of all his lackies out on the MSM circuit. And PLEASE, don’t tell me you think Obama needs 500 people with him on that trip. 500??? Yes, Bush did it…but that’s NOT THE POINT. I didn’t think you were that dense.

“Obama gets daily ecurity briefings.”

My head just exploded. Splat.

Get it together. Need all the fighters we can muster in 2010.
