    Who is "our" president? You said you are not an American, where there is a president and much care given to his motorcade safety. Where else do presidents have considerable protection as you have described?

    I'm sorry; I don't know what CMR represents.

    Same here when our queen is around. Mind you she does have a big house to clean, so she needs to get home fairly sharp , to get all her housework done. So I suppose it's the same for Barack, if Michelle has his dinner on , he needs to get home on time.

    Yes Dennis, I've heard they stop the traffic for you too, when your driving your Robin Reliant around Merton.

    I don’t think it strange, just status quo.  He comes here about twice a year…….

    After what happened on November,22,1963....NO! I don't think it strange.R.I.P. JFK.

    Tommyh - I bet everybody remembers where they were on this day - I was in my Morris Minor split wind screen 1955 - cannot believe it had a radio but it must have done. Just knew you would like to hear this! And no this is not strange slimjimpopo, like the name - but as sunnyB says happens here with the Queen - she was at Ascot last week arrived with the Duke by horse and carriage - quite impressive - beautiful white horses. I am sure the roads were cleared for them.

    Obviosly scared somebody may attempt to harm the president Slim.......>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<

    Blocked and, no doubt, thoroughly scanned for saboteurs or sabotage:
    ""can't be too careful!

    It is protocol to have the citizenry off the route when these people travel to insure safety.  (even for the Democrats!)
