Ben Got in to See Obama at Boeing, While I Was Turned Away

• From my FB feed:
  
  

  Went to Payne Field. Ultra high security. Met Obama's pizza supplier and they gave me a free coupon. Met 2 creeper goons who had bought books to sign, still in the bag from the local mall. They told me they got in when Bush was here. Secret Service told them to buzz off and they asked more questions about the hotel appearance later in Bellevue and got the brush off.

  Later the creepers came by in their SUV and said they were headed over to Boeing. I went over there and there was no visitor parking and Security ran me off. Then I saw 4 guys on foot who looked like fanatics of a different stripe, headed onto Boeing property as of they were on a mission.

  
  
• When I texted Ben at about 7 am he was already in the hangar and later said he was 20' from the podium. Must have gotten a VIP pass but all I got was a few blurry photos of cops and the one of a line of identical white vans and the one of a bunch of people in black being frisked didn't even show up in the camera. Creepy!

  
  
•  I met Ben when we were limo drivers for Teresa Heinz motorcade and we had to get security clearance. I was a natl moderator on JK blog and went to 04 and 08 DNC and inauguration of Obama in DC. I have seen him 5x but Ben trumped me today!

  (Obviously, I didn't make it in.  Last I heard, Obama was still speaking and

  Ben pronounced it "Cool!."
