"Lori Healey, executive director of the NATO-G8 Host Committee, “unequivocally” denied that Emanuel played a role in the decision or that pressure from skittish business leaders convinced the mayor to ask the White House to move G-8 somewhere else.

SUMbodies protesteth too much ... ;)

The useful idiots are getting out of control.

They probably need some of that billy club reeducation and re-purposing.

[TruthSlayer]

Isn’t it rich to watch the leftists create a society in which even they can’t live?

[novascotianative]

Obama is a coward.

Security for the 2010 G-8 and G-20 summits in Ontario (Muskoka and Toronto) was at least $750 million. The threats from the occuthugs probably meant even higher costs in Chicago. Naturally, the liberal media blames everyone but the anarchist protesters for these costs.

[codder too]

How much will it cost to expand the Camp David facility? Airports in DC, baltimore,harrisburg will need to be secured. Where will all these folks be staying? Maybe tents and cots!!!!!!! Logistical nightmare.

Howdy Doody didn’t want to be embarassed by his OWS friends. He doesn’t want to be that close to his creation.

[nascarnation]

Poor Mayor Rhambo got cut out of the gravy LOL.

[apoliticalone]

Rahm Emanuel said jump and Obama said how high. When government says things like “unequivocally Emanuel played no role” in the decision, you know they mean just the opposite.

Barry does not want the world leaders to get anywhere near Blago.

[cripplecreek]

Obama wants the protests in a context he can control and he can’t do that in Chicago. Off to Camp David where there will be no protests.

“...to contain NATO and G-8 protesters — and make permanent after the world leaders depart.”

Excuse me??

[FreeAtlanta]

Obama and the Democrats lit the fuse of the stupid and very dangerous OWS protestors and now they are afraid they might have bamie’s home city and center of the corrupt democrat univese burned down by them. Cowards.

[twoputt]

This is bad news for Chicago hookers.

Seriously, me thinks Barry didn’t want to see a revisit of the 1968 Chicago Democrat Convention. That would not be very good optics during re-election.

[austinaero]

wow, there was a comment in the article about showcasing Chicago to the world. What? I used to live in that area. I don’t know about anyone else but I have seen and heard all I need to about Chicago.

[tcrlaf]

UNDERSTAND THIS, FOLKS....

Obama’s handlers did not want the imagery of his own OWS loons protesting him in Chicago, during the coming $5 gas, (and potential economic collapse/Coming War?).

By locking the meeting behind the gates of Camp David, Obama short circuits any bad media imagery, at a time when Americans are going to be wizzed off already by $5 gas.
