Isn't it racist for Obama and the Secret Service to demand that no knives and forks be present when Obama speaks to Latinos yet allows rich movie stars to keep all their silverware?

“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.


Regalado hurried the diners to finish up their salads and pre-cut chicken breasts, saying that the Secret Service required that there be no knives at the tables and that the forks be rounded up before Obama entered the room.

“As you know, we’re having another speaker and there is some Secret
Service involved. So there’s a reason why there’s no knives at your
table and the forks will be collected. … And I’m not joking,” Regalado
told the audience in a ballroom at Disney’s Contemporary Resort at Walt
Disney World. “So, like the good Hispanic mother I’m here to tell you to
please, eat your lunch.”


Are they going to require plastic dinnerware next?

What about White House dinners? Do they take their dinnerware away?

    Doesn't even trust the ones he is courting. Why any hispanic would vote for this POS is beyond me. (Other than illegals).

    No, you totally misunderstand. The Secret Service wasn't worried about any attacks on Obama from the Hispanic audience. They thought the Hispanic audience would steal the flatware. It wasn't about assassination, it was about theft. Yes, sarcasm is dripping from my utensils.

    To answer your question instead of the stupid answers. Its far from being Racist. Its Stupid in Public. It don't matter who you are. If he fears somebody having a fork and knife during a meal, that he was invited to. Then he should have no gone there in the first place. And I would find it insulting, has I been their to be told to hurry up and finish my meal because the president was coming. and the secret service was going to confiscate the forks and knives. That is plan stupid, and wrong. If he was so scared to be in the presence of forks and knives then why did he bother to go. After all he was invited to attend the luncheon. Does the Secret Service confiscate all the hardware at his outrageous political dinners? I think not!!!!!

    Quite interesting the lengths the SS and Obama supporters have to go through to be in the presence of The One.

    Fundraising this election cycle isn't as easy nor fullfilling as it was in 2008 for the St Skittles' dad..

    BHO may have to go out and find a job in January 2013.

    Is it because he knows they don't get along with his type (race -black)?? Most of the gangs are blacks and latinos, they don;t like each other. Looks like bully Obama knows he has done wrong and is scared of them.

    Well who could blame the Latinos for being pissed at obama, not only does he pander to illegals over legal immigrants and insults every citizen who ever put in the work to become a citizen, we have over 300 Mexicans killed with the fast and furious guns according to this article...

    Obviously, he trusts hispanic people less than his hollow wood druggies. He does not respect them even as people - one wonders if they will understand this and see it as the huge insult it is.

    Here we go again. Sigh.

    Secret Service does not consult any President. It determines what security is in place where and when. It determines the best routes for travel and accomodations and may change those at a moment's notice. It has the authority to shut down an engagement.

    Who in their right mind would believe the POTUS would dictate how silverware at an event should and should not be used and when it should be present. WHO?

    My guess is, and for whatever reason, the SS believed there was a possible threat in the vicinity of that building.

    You actually believe President Obama was concerned about frigging silverware at a speaking event? Really? You believe that?
