Hot on the heels after his announcement that he would free young Latinos from the onus of their illegality, Obama was to be feted at a gathering at Disney World's Contemporary Resort by NALEO (National Association of Latino Elected Officials)

Before Obama would come into the room the gathering was informed that their forks would be taken away. Knives were already absent from the room, it was mentioned, for "a reason".

It seems Obama has been in many rooms, many times, in the company of people who possessed a fork. Why at this gathering, were the forks confiscated?

I don't know the answer. If I was one of the assembled group of Latino's waiting for their honored speaker, I would be wondering.

President Obama Can

If you read the whole article, you'll learn that this was a decision made by the Secret Service, not President Obama. No Politico reporter or poster on this forum has information that the Secret Service might have.

seriously! i thought the latinos were 100% behind the potus after reading this political forum! what could the secret service know that our dem posters don't know? maybe there was a closet conservative in attendence? how sad that a group with so much love for obama is not to be trusted - and in the most wonderful place on earth to boot! sheesh!

I would bet this security feature has been in place for a long time before Pres. Obama's term in office. Still kind of funny to read about it, though.

Maybe those vampire hunters needed the silver from the forks.

This security feature wasn't needed when Mitt Romney spoke, because from what I read, the audience was sitting on their hands. Must be a slow news day for Politico.

You would bet wrong. Look at the second link which shows Obama is rooms with lots of people who have lots of forks.

He just doesn't trust a large group of Latino's with sharp objects is all you can deduce.

This little tasty tidbit of knowledge says something about the tight Secret Service protection given to earlier Presidents. It is not the same thing but very interesting and flush with information.

Reminds me about a book about Napoleon's privates and their effect on history.

Still can't get away from the fact that the only room it appears Obama won't go in to that is equipped with forks is a room of Latino's.

I guess if anybody would know what it might be like to be forked it would be Obama, He has been forking us for the last 3 1/2 years.

Sorry could not help myself

Go back to the post about Junior Bush. Tells us what happened to the country under his administration.
