Stupid Motorcade

LPMiller · 08-23-2006, 07:01 AM

Oh, it's an annoying ride home when the President is speaking at a hotel that's a mile from your house, and the road you travel from work is also the road that goes to the airport.

I don't believe I've seen so many cops on one road in my life.

I don't care who the president is, take a helicopter or something, it's hard enough getting home as it is. Grumble.

Yes, I'm an old, grumpy man.

I hear you. Bush did this to me last month and they shut down the highway home for 20 mins while his motorcade went to the airport. It was at 5:45, so it made rush hour fun. They shut down all roads crossing under the highway too.

Traffic was screwed up for miles upon miles. Not the way to gain favor with the masses.

Go beat up some poor innocent piece of furniture...you'll feel better.
