Oops: Presidential Limo’s Seal Blows Off, Recovered From Philly Freeway

Oops: Presidential Limos Seal Blows Off, Recovered From Philly Freeway

AP


The official seal affixed to President Barack Obama’s limousine blew off Thursday while Obama was en route from a fundraising trip in Philadelphia — and the Secret Service initially couldn’t find it.

Agents scoured Interstate 76 but came up empty, unable to find the magnetic piece in the dark, CNN reported. A Philadelphia police officer found it on the side of the road the next day.

“It happens periodically,” Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan told CNN. “They’re only magnetic. They’re not put on any special way.”

    And what if the Secret Service did not retrive the magnetic seal due to the fact a ‘Gangsta’ from Philly found it and affixed it to his Dodge Charger or Chrysler 300 with “22 deeps” (wheels) and illegally dark tinted glass including windshield??? Answer: We would have believed for days on end that BHO has taken up residence in Philly…….and is ‘cruisen’…….. funny.
    So the Secret Service spent how much $$$$$ looking for this seal?

    LOL…Yes, I’ll take it as a “sign” he’s “out” in the very near future….this is the second time that this kind of thing has happened. The other one was a year or so ago when he was speaking at a podium with the Seal of the Pres. on it (NOT magnetic) and it actually FELL OFF! It was in the news. No accident or coincidence. Another weird thing was when he was speaking like that and a RAT ran across in front of the podium and that was in the news as well. LOL YES PLEASE GOD !!!!!!!

      I think that the reason for the comments is to let the people “us” to blow off some steam and to vent so the frustration does not build so we can then face the angry protesters with a smile and love and not respond the way the Progressives want. Also it is a way for us to keep an eye and ear on the Trolls that post here to know what the other side is up to.

      What people can’t state an opinion that is different than yours and you want them to go away. Dissention is what made this country great and the reality is that if you agree 100% with any news source or commentator, you are mearly a sheep. While I truly appreciate Glenn and how he has enlightened many people to stand up, think for themselves,and learn history, he is not the messiah and does have flaws. I tend to agree with Aaron and think that some of the content seems a bit more like a National ENquiere story than polical news worthy of discussion. Perhaps something like a few tabs that would seperate political news fron entertainment news would be an idea that may be able to seperate the 2 and get less complaints. Then again what do I know, I am gun toting, bible thumping, muscle car owning, conservative. According to many that would invaidate any opinion I have. BUt to some, I might make a little sense.

      Aaron in Polk County, you can probably find a sense of humor, relatively cheap, at some yard sale or pawn shop near your home. Get one; you’ll feel better about it, if you do.

      double entendre, you mean? http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/double+entendre?region=us

      That was not at all double entendre, but at least get the word right.

      i could not disagree more, I am liking the Blaze more and more and check it in tandem with drudge daily. I like the stories, here, that I do not get other places.
