My wife just called from downtown and she said there are cops on every corner and a couple of government suburbans with a big police escort just rolled through town. Is the President or Vice President in town? Maybe Bush senior gets this treatment? Oh well, if anybody knows anything...
hmmm..im here in downtown right now. Haven't heard anything from any customers today about it. If i hear anything i will get back to you.
I agree...I've even seen him some places and he doesn't get that kind of protection. Perhaps a representative from another country or something?
Lately when someone big comes into town they tend to stay at the Houstonian from what i have seen in the past. When the vice president came last time i was going to the Houstonian and they were doing all these checks. The last time the Bush's were in downtown was for their birthday party where they had it at te Hotel near the ball park and there was a lot of security then.
Obviously bush sr goes to astros games a lot etc.. and they don't shut things down.. but I imagine he still has security at all times.. Once you are the former president though.. do you ever get to drive your own vehicle or anything .. like just you and a few guards.. .. or is it still for the rest of your life the secret service driving you around everywhere. with cars in back and front? I was thinking about this the other day.. it'd be cool to be president. on the other hand .. for the rest of your life you can't do a single normal activitiy. ever period..
Yeah just remember how bad clinton's daughter hated going to college and having secret service guys in class with her or following her into parties. i mean after a while it's really got to get to a person. No matter what you do someone else is there.
i saw this too. suburbans and even people in suits in the back of police cars. they were traveling (or travelling... keep forgetting) down louisiana or milam or something like that. i dunno. guess i'll check the news.
I don't know. But I came out of the courthouse yesterday morning to find Quannel X and his pals outside on the corner. Of course, making a show. Reviewing what I believed to be some kind of file with what looked to be a white attorney. Man, that guy needs some love. Curiously, down the street, on the way back to my car, I ran into a black guy who needed some change for a dollar to feed the meter. We talked a bit...I didn't have any change on me, but told him I did in my car and would come back to him with some. I did. We smiled...talked...shook hands...nice guy. Meanwhile, Quannel was down the street with his guys looking and acting tough. Hmmm. sorry for that derail...just remembed it from yesterday.
