13. Imagine the Outrage
if protesters shut down a 15-mile stretch of I-95.

What have other presidents done? I can't believe this is normal procedure.

4. Because the chimp is the most hated mofo on the planet...
At taxpayer expense and inconvenience, everything for miles has to be shut down and secured to keep the fuckface in his bubble.

How I detest the arrogant, beady-eyed little cretin.

5. Too much
The giant security bubble surrounding our leader borders on the absurd. He should just stay in Washington and do some work.

8. I live here. Its pure hell.
I-95 through CT is one of, if not THE, busiest stretches of highway on earth.

All commuter and commercial traffic from NY to BOSTON goes up I-95. I-95 is the pipleline into and thru the entire NorthEast of the USA.

The only alternates are:
- Route 1: usually a 2 lane (1 in each direction) road, with numerous stoplights and local businesses on the road.
- Route 15 (Parkway): Trucks, busses, trailers are prohibited, mostly a 4 lane (2 in each direction) highway.

Or you could take a major detour all the freak the way up to I-84, and add like over 2 hours to your trip.

Stupid Chimp, doesn't he have a freaking helicopter?
Dumbass.

10. WTF! Why is he in Bridgeport?
Edited on Wed Apr-05-06 10:40 AM by madinmaryland
:wtf: what a MORAN!!!!

I don't think he got more than 10% of the vote in Bridgeport.

I lived in B-port for two years, and he was universally hated!!


:wtf:

11. I'm waiting for states to turn this little prick down when he wants to go
gallivanting off to shake down corporate donors. His entourage, his security, his inconvenience to everybody are far too expensive for a state to absorb in the name of some political party's solvency.

Keep the little shithead in DC. Taxpayers are sick of footing the bill for his imperial visits and it's about time state and local governments figured that out. It's no honor to have that thing visit.
