so, The president came to buffalo and all I have heard so far is that he likes chicken wings. Sounds like a real productive visit. Glad to see the president is still more of symbol than an actual leader who has to make important decisions. :tup: ---

The delays at the airport were minimal and as an aiport it’s already very secure. The president is at the highest risk traveling by car which I’m sure is why they fly in as close as possible. Not to mention there is really only one viable route between NF and the venue, something the secret service aren’t big on. Armored limo or not if you know the route you could plan an attack. ---

I saw a blue Suburban with Homeland Security vinyl’s on it, and roof lights, almost thought it was a trooper. This was around 6:00pm on the 90 going west. Traffic was the suck today! ---
