Obama's SS agents remove forks from attendees at Latino event

Yes, this portion:

Still, there are a wide variety of breakfasts, lunches and dinners the president attends where diners still have the full complement of silverware as Obama speaks.​

Now the portion that was left out:

However, it’s known that the Secret Service adjusts security depending on the size of the crowd and how much officials know about who’s in attendance. At some events, guests must pass through magnetometers. At others, they don’t.

The Service usually doesn’t worry too much about impromptu stops where a potential assailant would have no reason to expect the president. Sometimes the president’s attendance at sporting events is kept secret until the last minute to avoid having to perform security checks on every fan.

Indeed, there is plenty of silverware at large events like the White House Correspondents Dinner. However, those on the dais are well known to the White House and Obama does not plunge into the crowd there. After the speech Friday, Obama spent about six minutes shaking hands along a so-called ropeline in front of the crowd.​

Yet, you're following a baseless "hunch" that they were singled out, because you "think" the service agent is lying. You're unequipped to have this conversation.

 

What makes Hispanics more threatening to Obama than other groups?

 

It still doesn't explain anything. The fact is, many times silverware is left on the tables, for some odd reason when there are hispanics, its taken away.

 

Not sure why you're trying to change the subject... but it has nothing to do with AF1.

Michelle Malkin's take on the subject:

 

How about an appearance by then President Bush?

How about knives?

No lunch knives -- and count the forks

 

Nothing.

"For some odd reason" has been provided to you. Your failure to comprehend is not my issue to overcome.

if you're not sure, then re-read. I can't be expected to hold three hands through this.

Spare me.

 

Why is Obama so afraid of the hispanic community? Maybe because they cling to their religion? Sorta like white folk? Maybe they are being typical hispanic people? just like his grandmother was a typical white person?

 

Knives are not the issue.

The explained question was why take forks away only from Hispanics?

So far other than that Hispanics are more lawless than other groups no reason has been given.

 

.....What?

 

Wonder if he hosts a group of muslims, he makes everybody take off their shoes?

From the link MannieD posted... ahhhhhh, remember the good ole days when people liked the president?

 

Really?
From the OP:
"LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. --Does a fork or dinner knife pose an unacceptable danger to President Barack Obama?

One wouldn’t think so, given the hundreds of lunches and dinners he’s attended ranging from state dinners to political fundraisers to run-of-the-mill stops on the rubber-chicken circuit.

However, at one such lunch Friday afternoon, guests heard an unusual announcement that they needed to hand over their silverware (I am assuming silverware includes knives) for security reasons.

“It’s very important that you use your utensils as soon as possible,” National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials board member Raquel Regalado told about 1000 delegates at the group’s annual conference. "

I suppose if you just dropped in on the topic you might assume it was about knives.

But everyone seems to acknowledge that knives are not the issue.

Everyone except you that is.

Only picking up the forks are being questioned.

 

I wonder why people who attend the fund raisers aren't put through scanners like at the air port?

 

So this is standard secret service procedure? Wonder why we needed a thread slandering the president?

 

What do you wanna bet they have to show picture ID to get in the door?

Democrats -- party of hypocrites.

 

Probably best not to entertain the trolling... I should've picked up on it earlier.

 

Looks like it's only standard for minorities.

Wonder what the criteria is?

 

Taking your own advice would be good...

 

The issue is what is a danger to the President.
"Does a fork or dinner knife pose an unacceptable danger to President Barack Obama?"
A fork is as dangerous as a knife.
I see E_Pluribus_Venom got the point. Why can't you?

 

When we remember these are liberals we are dealing with, it is really not so surprising. Liberals do not believe that citizens can be trusted to make their own independant decissions, much less be trusted with guns, or even a metal fork apparently!

 

That is nonsense.

I liberals believe that other presidents have been protected from citizens wielding dinner forks please give us the name of the president and the event he attended.

Taking forks away from Hispanics seems to be unique to Obama.

 

Let me stick a fork in you.
And I'm with E_Pluribus_Venom.

 

Yes, we can tell.

*Obaaaaaaaaaama*

 

Did anybody else catch that special name for that special agent? Maxmilian? Really people? You believe what the media fabricates this easily?
