Discussion for article #225513

“King”???
Don’t use it in your headline. It’s as if TPM become the Blaze or you are channeling Sean Hannity.

“King Obama” should be in quotes in the headline. Geez, people.

This is reason #48,962 why I hate conservatives. Do you know how many times I was stuck on the Brent Spence Bridge or stuck on I-75 in 2004 when King Bush descended on Cincinnati? It happens every time any president comes to your city, but somehow Black presidents don’t deserve the same protections. Only White ones should get to shut down traffic.

I totally agree with the King Obama in the headline as he is as much a tyrant as the kings and/or queens of Great Britain, Sweden, and the Netherlands.

Funny, these are the same jackasses who dismiss BridgeGate as a mere traffic jam despite it having been a four day traffic jam in which an elderly woman died waiting for an ambulance. But that’s different because Republican.

Look, if she didn’t give birth in the ambulance she wasn’t probably in true labor yet. Lots of women jump the gun and go to the hospital when their contractions are too far apart. Then they end up getting talked into an induction by their ob/gyn, so he can get home for dinner with his family.

This is how presidential motorcades have operated since November 23, 1963.

Here’s the money shot:

Medics treated the woman at the scene and, according to multiple reports on Thursday morning, the baby still hasn’t arrived

Laughable really.

Yeah. medics. come on. She isn’t sick or hurt, she’s in labor. We have such a warped view of childbirth in this country.

I’ll bet every one of those hack writers a hundred bucks I could talk to every single person on that sidewalk and spin their errands into some sort of fauxtragey reason Obama is imperially awful. A little girl going to visit Grandma at the nursing home! A husband taking his wife some presentation materials she forgot! A convenience-store employee running late for her $5.15 an hour job she’s terrified to lose! And all waiting until finally, finally, whoosh! the gleaming armored limousine goes rushing past and eventually the last siren fades in the distance! As if their lives don’t really matter! Why, it makes me so…

Well. Anyway. You get the idea.

King??? Get with the Republican Talking Points buddy.
The only RNC-approved term for Obama is DICTATOR.

That is an unsafe bridge in any case. Take a life vest when crossing :wink:

Well, hey, when I was in Normandy in 2004 for the 60th D-Day anniversary, our tour was prevented from being able to visit Pointe du Hoc because George W. Bush had decided to make a surprise visit there that day, and all traffic on the road leading to it had been blocked off.

It’s what happens unless you decide that a president should be imprisoned in the White House for his entire time in office.

The baby still hasn’t arrived? Damn you Obama!
