D.C. Security Angers City Officials
By JIM ABRAMS, Associated Press Writer

welcome to the new america, I want to see troops on the streets of Omaha interrupting people trying to get to work, and then I'll feel like I'm not being singled out. anyone see they're now thinking of closing the sidewalks on 15th street? what an absurd idea.

When Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House was closed off.
