Show me where in that hallowed document, you have the right to take pictures with your cell fone.

First amendment. And what is a fone?

My guess is they do not want to caught out socializing with Bill Ayers or Rev. Wright.

This is a conspiracy to deny civil rights under color of law, and it is a felony.

Michelle was having a bad hair day. A bad Wookie hair day

New York Post reported on August 12, 2009 the Secret Service "temporarily" confiscated cellphones at a burger joint Michelle went to:

Page Six

Michelle doesn’t want anyone taking pictures of her butt.

"I read it on FR!...lol..."

I think there one more instance, in addition to the one at the burger joint you mentioned. I think the SS confiscated cell phones at a restaurant (a nice restaurant) either in DC, or during Barry's date-night to NYC a while back.

It seems to be a pattern of behavior.

She takes a horrible photograph and she’s using the power of the executive branch to stop more unflattering photos from appearing in public. That’s the bottom line to this. It’s not about her kids.

Who the hell wants a picture of the fat as* ugly woman anyway.... or the rug rats.

For the cover of National Geographic........

They are just trying to make up for all the times they got jacked for their phones, firearms, wallets, radios, dataz, dox etc. ;)

Have you rethought that since?

[Quickgun]

Imagine that. Are we to guess that the children have not been on Michelle's healthy diet - or what?

Please; they are still public servants. . .an aspect of WH employment that they NEVER consider, of course. Worse for Obama Edict; they are in a public place! Braodway is not a frickin private party!

The Media of course, will take it; suck it up and behave like the useful idiots they are.

Wish there was a photog brave enough to have his camera taken so as to make an 'incident'. These folks are sooo deserving!

Did they get a pic of entourage and traffic jam they caused? How did they enter. . .front door or side? Oh well, perhaps there is more to the story; just do not care to read it.

[Nachum]

Rethought? I think the Secret Service has a miserable job and has to put up with the whims of the people they protect. I don't like to beat up the security teams in charge of protecting our leaders.

Besides, I really don't care to see ANY pictures of her highhorseyness. :)

[bvw]

Can I have my bodyguards confiscate your cellphone or any other device?

[Nachum]

bodyguards confiscate your cellphone or any other device?

If you were the president's wife in a theater with her kids and my security thought it was a threat,- yes.

[Oceander]

Not my camera they’re not. That’s the virtue of really long zoom lenses! Effing fascists.

[blueyon]

well you do raise a good point....
