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 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.

    What a sad commentary on our times.

    If this was a banana republic I could understand a dictator worried about an attack from the subjugated peasants . . . wait, I think I understand the confiscation of forks . . .

    they too closely resemble pitch forks and the oppressed peasants might be tempted to rise up and . . .

    Not to mention providing Mexican drug lords with more automatic weapons than they could ever use! And then encouraging illegals to cross the borders even as we see the border area turned into a wasteland and war zone where property owners are faced with never ending property damage and the threat of serious assault, rape, and murder. :(

    I have a better idea. If we are being invaded on our border, then declare war on the traffickers and cartels. (war on drugs, war on organized crime) send in the troops and end this BS once and for all.

    We don't have a single politician with the balls to do that. We should, we should put troops every 10 feet, with loaded weapons and tell them to kill any person that steps over the line. When the first stack is too tall, start the next row. Lime them down, keep stacking. Won't take long til the flow will stop. Send other troops out of their bases and let them round up the rest and drive them home.

    It is not the hordes that are the real problem, it is the drug cartels and traffickers. The need for force should be proportional to the threat. The armed, murderous criminals need to be treated in kind. The "regular" illegal aliens should be treated as per the law allows.

    If we remove their mules and ther internal distribution mules, we do a LARGE chunk in getting them back south.

    But if the government was truly interested in stopping the cartels, they would get them where they hide and they completely ignore the main distribution line from Texas to Atlanta.

    Dead, all the really good national spokesmen, nationalist types are dead.

    The remainder are either socialist on a global scale or committed rope walkers to try to balance quasi-conservatism with socialist desires for "giving" people what they now depend on, while trying to make the constitutionalists not feel like they are being screwed.

    Wow! Is this done at all his dinners, like the ones in Hollyweird or is just for Hispanic dinners? That alone would make me vote anyone but Obama. Is he really suggesting that all Hispanics with knives or forks are dangerous?

    WEll, the Celebs fine silver was NOT confiscated, so I guess that was ONLY for hispanics.

    So, he wants their votes but does NOT trust their intentions?

    If they still support him after this, they are morally bankrupt and stupid to boot.

    Barry could get Forked, and we don't want our President Forked! No one should take a chance on getting Forked in public!

    0bama should of heeded his own advice "if they bring a knife to the fight, he'd bring a gun"! There must be a reason to have this much fear and heightened security for the president. The last thing America needs is some radical assassinating the president, we'd see coast to coast riots of epic proportions.

    ROFLMAO Taking up the silverware at a Latino luncheon in Florida for security reasons? Who knows, since most of them are refugees from Cuba and know a dictator when they see one, they might have been tempted to "fork" the little chicken-shoot!

    You forgot to mention: "In other words, the announcement at the Latino officials’ event may have been unusual, but the removal of the silverware usually takes place without anyone realizing it’s a security measure.

    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.

    Milien declined to comment on the discrepancy. 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."
