I think Obama is afraid to be in public.

Guess his home toilet isn’t all that attractive.

I don't think they wanted another 1968. That little escapade ended up handing the election to Nixon on a silver plate.

They forgot to tell Mayor Rhambo until this morning, LOL

“I think this is a unique opportunity for Chicago to showcase itself to the world, and the world to see the city of Chicago. I think our Police Department is highly trained, very professional, with the right leadership,” he said.

It’s being discussed on Chicago talk radio right now. I read a police blog and they have been opining for weeks about how unprepared the city is.....

This won’t stop the protesters...they’ll tear apart the city either way. They don’t need the G-8 to be there to have their riots.

Yeah, “Occupy Canmp David” is not likely to draw much press coverage

Let’s see, who do the Occupiers hate more? Pseudo capitalist of the G-8 or NATO, hard question. You are right, Chicago is likely to have riots either way.

How many times has he taken the family back to their old Chicago home? Zero.

How many times has he been to Camp David? Has he ever been? I don’t know but thought he wasn’t all that thrilled with it so doesn’t ever go there.

Hopefully we’ll see a bump in tourist dollars that weekend here in Milwaukee...

I have the feeling that Camp David is very heavily and secretly armed. I’ve heard of underground sites around there.

This is definitely about controlling access and the “optics.”
