Goerge,

I once got stopped by Ronald Reagan's motorcade. I
even had a hot pizza in the car but I didn't mind.
First came some CHP motorcycles that just stopped
the traffic. Then came a few squad cars, 3 100%
tinted limos, an ambulance, and a helicopter overhead.
I tell ya it made me proud to be a Republican. Ronald
Reagan honored that office like nobody else in this
century.

Another time I was at the Santa Monica airport and
I saw the Air Force 1 chopper. My friend told me that
Clinton was in town. I saw a couple of disinterested
US Marines sitting around. I wanted to park my car
over by this fence (close to AF-1) so I drove over and
one of the Marines started walking toward me but then
I waved and he just sat back down in his lawn chair.
I guess they were not too concerned with Bubba's safety.

ps Those Greeks sure gave Clinton a "warm" welcome!
