Got off the phone with a friend who lives in NYC. "Every time f-ing Obama comes to town, it's a mess. They shut down midtown, you couldn't get a cab. After my meeting, I had to walk, tried to go into the Waldorf to take a leak and have a cocktail, but they had State Dept. Security cops with scanners at the door. Wouldn't let me in. Pain in the ass."
Says I, "New York is probably the only place so jaded that, when the President visits, all people do is bitch about the inconvenience."
Of course, all the cops etc were also there to protect Ahmadinejad. As has been asked, how come he doesn't get arrested when he's here?
