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.
Pretty much sets me off........gettin old !

The Great Ones didn't want their pics taken. They have no legal right to confiscate the property of a private person in a public place, or otherwise violate his rights. If they don't like it, they can just stay in the White House.
How wide are those things? Looks like a 2x4.
Did he give you one? I would demand a receipt for a camera but most likely not for nail clippers.
hurl alert
Sorry, not buying this. It would be a clear and unquestionable violation of the fourth amendment.
Hope all those nearby belong to the RAT party. Should really make them happy.
Fantastic!!!
I love it....
His Majesty WEe Wee The Magnificent, Emperor of Time and Space for Life!!!
You're talking about government buildings. There's a difference between safety and ego. This was a public restaurant.
$50K a week for their stay....

Michelle IS on vacation....Look....No Boob Belt.
The President is a civilian, not a King.
The Imperial trappings of the office have gotten completely out of hand.
Remember when a reporter couldn’t figure out how many people worked for the OVP?
And now the First Lady requires 25+ maidservants?!?!
I blame the courts, for allowing the Constitution to be gutted in the name of safety and reasonability. And The People, for allowing it.
They could ask you to not take pics or turn it off but.......
LOL!!
BS. The cell phone could be used for detonating a device (by calling the cell phone in the explosive device from anywhere on earth.
I would have told the SS to take a hike and dare them to try to ILLEGALLY take my cell phone away.
Reports are that he paid for this vacation out of his own pocket.
Well, you are forewarned...before entering the airport...of what you CAN and CANNOT bring on a plane. Period. Terms of acceptance to receive the service? Yet, if I was ‘out’ for dinner and Obama sideshow swooped down upon me (unknowing that THEY were coming) yes, I would believe then that MY rights had been violated.
Sorry. But this doesn’t pass the smell test. I’ll say it again...illegal search and seizure. Violation of the Fourth Amendment.
