LOL, presidential motorcade speeds up past sanctioned protest area
 

They were crawling along Pennsylavnia avenue at 1 or 2 miles, then they get to the area designated for protesters and the secret service people had to go from walking to running to keep up with the car which sped up. Once they were past the protest area, the motorcade went back to the 1 or 2 mph crawl.

Can't let Bush see any negative signs:1orglaugh

or maybe they didn't want the camera crews focused too long on them when he was passing it
either way... shows alot for him

of course. Lets say you had a bunch of ex girlfriends who all wanted you dead protesting you as you were walking down the isle getting married, would you slow down for them?

nice limo :thumbsup

If I were in a bullet-proof limo I would have the driver stop briefly so I could make smiley faces at them:glugglug

Maybe moon them?

The disappointing thing was the narrow shot on ONLY the Presidential limousine, thanks to a neutered media pool, no one had the balls to show a wide shot of the protests on both sides of the road. :(

Wouldn't want the world knowing that not 'every' american thinks like Bush now, would you?

it says something that he has to do that


too bad no one in TV land is listening to what is said other then the driblle they spew

if it was me, I would have had the limo speed up and swerve towards the crowd just to watch them scatter...

if i was bush i would be making monkey faces at the crowd. its easy to do since he already looks like one.

not be fooled....its way more then bullet-proof....its probley got better armor then most BFV in Iraq.

CNN actually showed many good shots. They zoomed in clearly on a number of signs, like "Impeach Bush Guilty of war crimes" and "4 more wars", zoomed in on a mock casket and some of the "Turn backs on Bush" crowd. It was cut short because their attention was switched to the speeding car and suddenly jogging secret servicemen. Later when they sped through the corner with the other group of protesters supposedly someone had thrown a piece of fruit at the limo and the s.s. decided to rush them out of the area.

shame it didn't take a wide turn into the crowd.
