Well, I am a Republican through and through. Still, at the risk of sounding out-of-touch, I hate it when Bush comes to town, and not because the local police have to prepare for it. We pay them to do such things, and I haven't ever heard them complain about it.

I hate it when the president comes to town regardless of his party affiliation. I live in South Minneapolis. When any president comes to town they close roads near my house. They do, quite literally, disrupt life for at least the brief time that the caravan (or decoy caravan) gets through my neighborhood. I never considered it a great honor to go line the freeway and watch a limo pass.

Is that sufficiently curmudgeonly?

Right, the President should stay in the WH and not inconvenience the rest of us. Who the hell does he think he is? Is that sarcastic enough?
