Roads closed Near AirPort

[thescreensavers]

As I am coming home, We see 2 cops blocking 595 moving very slowly. Then we go in a lane that merges with 595 which we need to go on to get to I-95.So that lane blocked by a cop that is not moving so we go off to the side and then go On I-95 1 exit behind. any ways then we pass the West 595 exit which goes to the airport and were all the gas company's got there big tanks and distributing plant. We now see the airport in site and there is no air traffic at all. The traffic going north on I-95 is blocked.In the air port I did see two 4 propeller army planes C1B I don't know. but my lane going south was fine. Also I get called every day at 3 for traffic reports which FHP gives out. and it says there was no problems when they were blocking the roads.Hmm

Go watch his motorcade. It's just ridiculous. A small army wouldn't be able to get near him.

Here is what I can recall being in his motorcade when I saw him going to the Cincinnati airport, in this order:

10 police motorcycles
Police car or two
2 Presidential limos
4 black Suburbans
~10 white GM cargo vans
~15 police cars

And there were more cops than I've ever seen in my life closing off the roads in the area, plus a couple helos flying racetrack patterns above.

Needs better title....

Suggestions:

1) Include WHICH airport you are referring to
2) Use proper English "Roads closed 2 miles of airport" is not a sentence, and makes no sense.

Come on, its not a Bush thing, I have seen Presidential motorcades hundreds of times over the past 25 years, its just the way they do it.

Wow. Canada's prime minister had 4 bikes, 1 limo and a backup car I think.

I saw Clinton drive through Cleveland sometime during his terms and I don't recall his motorcade being anywhere close to that large. It was on the interstate and they didn't even have that side shut down. The cops just kept a buffer around his convoy. Now the damn half of the city the President is in is shut down.

LOL.

Sometimes I wonder how people come up with their titles. I guess most don't proof read what they are typing and probably what they think and what they are actually typing aren't the same.
