I read the Feb 20th Dallas news report of the Secret Service security stand down order at the Reunion Arena rally for Barack Obama. I got word from a friend of mine in Boston that it happened there as well. On Feb 25th I attended Obama's rally in Cincinnati, and I watched it happen yet again.
This time, I filmed it.
This clip features
- My account, narrated the same day,
- The clip of our entrance into the arena after the 3 lines being held to a crawl for 1.5 hours
- An interview of three guys who also witnessed no actual screening
- A layout of a plan I have to correct the situation.
We need to be aware that this nation's enemies know full well that assassination of Obama isn't needed to end his political career. They already know that all they'd need is to hurt or kill a member of his crowd at one of these large unscreened rallies by way of a classic terror scenario (pipe bomb, knapsack bomb, etc;) and the press reaction would easily be used to derail Obama, cripple the DNC's efforts to bring about an end of the politics of fear, and ensure Bush's War on Terror agenda for the foreseeable future.
It's not hard to see this one through the eyes of those who would stand to gain from a terrible tragedy, and it's not hard at all to see where the openings are for them. There is no way that they haven't already seen it all for themselves. This is a perfect storm that needs to be prevented from coming together.
Pass this on, and let's do something about this.

Good evening, NorEaster. If I may, might I suggest a rewording of the last paragraph in your post. As it is currently written, it could be read as a plan of action, which I know was not your intent.
It is a good thing that you are an eyewitness to history. Technology today allows us almost real time interaction with our surroundings.
In this day and age, with the prospect of scenarios akin to Orwell's 1984, like the Ministry of Double Speak and efforts to control spin in the opposite direction of rational, reasoned thought, it is crucial we all testify to what happened where we were/are as we travel this plane of existence.

NorEaster, this really needs to have (Opinion) added to the headline and in your tags. I'm holding off on flagging it as "Needs Improvement" to give you time to make that change.
