KAILUA, Hawaii — A man fleeing from local police drove through an outer perimeter checkpoint set up near President Barack Obama‘s Hawaii vacation home Friday, the U.S. Secret Service said.
Photographers took pictures of a Secret Service agent sprinting toward the scene and pointing a gun at a vehicle.
The driver wasn’t trying to get near the president or his family and the incident had nothing to do with his Hawaii visit, Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said.
“Honolulu police were going to arrest someone they had traffic warrants for. He was able to get away from them, and led them in a high-speed chase which ultimately led to one of our checkpoints,” Donovan said.

That someday could be next month with the new Congress. They are opening the new session with a full reading of the Constitution. When the get to part about the President being a natural born citizen I hope they ignore that that means one born in the U.S. of TWO U.S. citizen parents, or I’m screwed. My dad is a British colonial Kenyan so I don’t have TWO U.S. citizen parents and I’m also a British citizen by birth.
They can‘t impeach me because I’m not legally the president. They could arrest me as an illegal usurper. If they do that then Biden and my entire administrative staff goes too. Every law I singed is null and void. Each of my political and diplomatic appointments, all the way from my Supreme Court and other judicial nominations to the Ambassador to my homeland of Kenya, will be rescinded. Tea Party and Republicans conservatives wouldn’t do that, would they?
Now that the adults are assuming power, If they do decide to honor their oaths to the Constitution and arrest me, then John Boehner or who ever the next Speaker of the House is, would assume my duties as President for the remainder of my term. That’s quite an incentive for simply obeying the Constitution and following the law. This is isn’t looking good.
I hear it’s cold in Leavenworth.
Since I may being going to jail in a few weeks, maybe I should just stay in Hawaii where at least it’s warm. I could hide out at Neil Abercrombie’s, Linda Lingle‘s or Chiyome Fukino’s place. They hid me from the long arm of the law before.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Posted on December 24, 2010 at 12:54pmah, The Obumbler was miles away, playing golf, sound familiar? Does the Obumbler have his hands on the pulse of the Nation, I think not, just the unwashed masses he entitles and redistributes wealth to, and the Marxist element, he has no idea what the regular men and women in this country think or stands for. He’ an elitest communist, and no real care what we the people are all about! Same for congress, out of touch, in their lofty towers of power, passing illegitimate laws on the land! As our country stands in ruins, they continue to play their little games. But what they don’t realize, is this not a game, this is no sandbox, but real people getting hurt every day! F ‘em all!

I’m in no way advocating that she does, but her biggest concern is stopping the perp, regardless of personal safety. He‘s lucky she didn’t fire because I don’t think she would have missed. And, I repeat, you are 100% correct that she‘s lucky she didn’t end up on the ground with a bullet in her head.

@1American – on the intelligence scale, definitly.
This guy is lucky the secret service did not simply open fire; now he will probably be accused by the HSA of terrorism and trying to assassinate the POTUS and his family. Napoletano will use any and all excuses for furthering of the crackdown against Constitutional guarantees and liberties enjoyed by the Americans.
I seen a report on the Drudgereport.com about how the EPA is going ahead now with the cap and tax regulations even after congress rejected it. The EPA dingbat said it’s going to happen one way or another – if I caught the gist of the story correctly.
As many have feared, the congress is now irrelevent, and the Progressive dictators still have no clue as to how mad americans are at them.

Posted on December 26, 2010 at 11:23am@Dirty Harry – Why do you believe that the local police couldn’t handle the situation professionally? The car chase only went through the security check point. The secret service didn’t apprehend the suspect, the local police did. In the video it shows the suspect with all smiles. I really don’t think they beat him and yelled stop resisting as you think thats how local police apprehend suspects. You should really reconsider your views on police, before you find yourself on national TV telling the American people that you don’t have all the facts but know the police “acted stupidly”.
