I’m not a dude. And they do as they’re told. It was posted in this thread. No pics. Any press caught using Twitter, texting or cellphones will be thrown out of the press pool by order of King Obama.
Only if the owner of the property agrees with the secret service. Picture this scenario - I own a restaurant. The President wants to eat there. I'm OK with that (well, maybe not this president). His agents want my guests to give up their cell phones before he arrives. I disagree with his agents. He can either go elsewhere and eat or put up with other patrons that carry cell phones. The secret service does not have overriding jurisdiction over the property owner for non-lethal devices like cell phones (and cameras as are mentioned in the articles).
Sweetie. You're wrong. Obama's flight restrictions are exactly the same distance as were around Bush's Texas ranch when he was there. There was a permanent 3 NM restriction, that was expanded when Bush was there to 10 NM. Later in his presidency, that 10 NM restriction was expanded to 30 NM, exactly the same as Obama's.
From AOPA Flight Training Mag...
"Consider Prohibited Area P-49, which surrounds President Bush's ranch near Crawford, Texas. Nearly 140 violations of the airspace around P-49 were documented in 2003. It's normally a circle with a three-nautical-mile radius that extends up to 5,000 feet above mean sea level. But at times, a notam will increase the radius to 30 nm and the top to 18,000 feet. The only aircraft allowed within 10 miles required preapproval by the U.S. Secret Service and were restricted to law enforcement and military directly supporting the Secret Service and the White House. When the airspace is expanded, any aircraft operating between 10 and 30 miles from the TFR's center is required to be on a VFR or IFR flight plan, squawk an assigned discrete transponder code, and maintain two-way radio contact. Training, practice approaches, and many other activities are prohibited."
From the Victoria Advocate...
"...restricted airspace around Bush's "Western White House" covers a 30-mile radius, said John Clabes, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration's Southwest Region.
If you're going to call people names, you might want to do a little research first, lest you look like a babbling moron. We wouldn't want that, now would we?
There's plenty of things to disagree with Obama on, intelligently minded people don't need to cling to wild rumors, gossip and unsubstantiated, and easily refutable conspiracy theories to make a case against Barack Obama.
Here's an idea that I like better: Take this copy of the Constitution to read while you go f**k yourself!
After he's had his Waterloo, St. Helena would be a nice choice.
Like they say WE need a vacation from them.
I was watching the Little League World Series (don’t ask)
and Mercer Island Washington was playing.
They were showing shots of the crowd then the crawl read:
“President Obamas mother went to high school in Mercer Island Wash” [sic]
Just can’t get away from him......
Ping to post 203
You are a noob.
The author of the article that I cited has been pinged to your post.
Word on the street is that Kenyan natives love their burgers medium well.
The thought of Zero biting into an exploding cheeseburger brings a smile to my face!
Darling, calling someone a name isn't a very able defense of your own intellect. Just saying.
I see you are an Ohioan. I was once upon a time. Toledo.
Think of the 42 assassination attempts on Adolf Hitler.
This does not constitute authoritative confirmation.
Cells Phones ?!?!?!? There are more gals sporting .38’s there than cell phones !!

Ok some may be .38 Long’s...........
Are you sure, never heard about cell phones blowing up?
Just playing the role of the devil’s advocate here.
Do you think CBSNBCABSMSNBCCNN or any of them would report such a thing? All they can see is Obama’s colon.
You know what they say about Toledo - "Everyday, making Cleveland feel better about itself".
And, it didn't strike any nerve. But, I'm from the camp that says you shouldn't call your debate opponents names - it's intellectually unbecoming, and a tell-tale sign that you're losing your debate.
Stick to the facts - those that you can substantiate - and you'll have no problems from me.
Seems strikingly similar to the protection Adolf Hitler was given during WWII.
He had to trample on the rights (or already trampled on them) of the German people just to save his back, but not before Col. von Stauffenberg nearly killed him with a bomb.
