Comments on: Obama Made Me Late http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/6201.html Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago boys including those pictured above.

They do it for security reasons. As for the size of his jet, his campaign and its contributors are paying for it, so good for them, I hope they waste more of their money. It’s not a big deal.

Bill Gates can buy any executive jet he wants, but all his money will not allow him to buy preferential treatment from LaGuardia Ground Control. Achieving certain political status, on the other hand, evidently does purchase such treatment.

I think this is incompatible with a republic. I once was held up over an hour when the SS froze the traffic around Newark Airport for over an hour for Clinton,but he was at least president than. Over time the SS has accreted more and more power. Yes. I think this is incompatible with a republic.

I have a similar story. Back in college I unkowningly tried to merge with Dick Gephart's limo convey and nearly got rammed by the secret service as a result. I was just driving to class and then tried to change lanes when the car behind shot forward and missed me under a foot. I had to swerve and missed my turn. Only when I looked back did I realize I had cut into a convoy. The entire cutting to the head of line, debarking away from the terminals is the work of the secret service.
