Secret Service confiscates cell phones of tourists near Obama

WTKK radio | 8/24/09

Heard this AM on the Michael Graham show, WTKK. Haven't seen posted elsewhere.

Obama and his lovely bride have created a Romulan Neutral Zone around themselves while on "Marxist Vineyard." Accordingly, as tourists tried to get within eyesight of the Obamas and their girls having hamburgers at a restaurant, the Secret Service confiscated all cell phones and cameras from everyone in and near the restaurant so that The Royal Couple was not disturbed by the riff raff on the Island. Further, the cook at the restaurant -- some sort of minor celebrity -- had to make the hamburgers, fries, and milkshakes while three Secret Service agents watched him to ensure no poisoning was attempted. Further, The Royal One ordered his hamburger medium-well, immediately infuriating the Hollywood elites there who insist that no burger be cooked more than medium-rare (legislation pending in Boston). If I hadn't heard it from Graham himself, I wouldn't have believed it.

Cell phones can be used for remote detonations, so.... there might be justification.

I hope the chef used his world famous sun brewed mayonnaise on the burger.

[pabianice]

How do you use a camera to set-off a bomb?

[humblegunner]

Nicely done!

[IbJensen]

I’ve had enough.

"I hope the chef used his world famous sun brewed mayonnaise on the burger..."

The food preperation is standard procedure for any President eating somewhere. Food is always screened.

They did this at another stop recently. I think the NY Post had the story.

[colonialhk]

[GOPJ]

Yeah - I’m OK with the Secret Service protecting President Obama - it’s what they should be doing.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Good one.

[mad_as_he$$]

Bull$hit. Deprive me of my property and see how fast you wind up in court. Besides I might have a heart attack and be unable to contact 911 when you have my phone.
