I’m not sure this is what Obama meant by getting in their faces, but a couple of protesters apparently narrowly avoided being run down by the Straight Talk Express:
Smith said officers saved the protesters from injury because “the motorcade likely would not have stopped†for them. He said “we don’t know what their intentions were†in trying to block Palin’s motorcade.
Even if they had stopped, they would likely have been swarmed by Secret Service agents with submachine guns. It would have been ugly. And they better damn well hope that Governor Sarah left the moose rifle back home.
Hmmm. MASKED protesters, which, whatever else, means that their intentions weren’t harmless. As a tactical response, if I’d been driving, I’d have definitely sped up.
Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, “all up in my grille” :-D
