southsider2k5 Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 QUOTE(mreye @ Jan 6, 2006 -> 12:19 PM) The motorcade just drove by. I went down and saw it, it was pretty wild. Probably about 8 motorcycles, 6 police cars, and half a dozen SUVs that sandwiched in the limo. They had everything closed down bigger than life, you couldn't even cross the street to or from the CBOT, or walk anywhere East down Van Buren. I did get to see the limo from about 20ish feet away or so, but they drove directly into one of the garages to let him out of protected from everyone else.

Milkman delivers Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 My mom works at the CBOT. She said all the security was a pain in the ass, but Bush supposedly was extremely nice to everyone while signing a lot of autographs and talking to people's spouses on their cell phones.

I had to go to the back of my building just to get inside. Last time I saw streets block off downtime it was for something I was excited about (The Rally). Now for someone who probably who doesn't even know what happens at the CBOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 A cute antecdote from the visit... At the Board of Trade, Bush waded into a space fenced off between corn futures and corn options pits--an environment more like a mosh pit. Traders in colored jackets were yelling and hooting to get Bush's attention. "A guy yelled out in the corn pit, `Hook 'em, Horns,"' Bush told the luncheon crowd. "So I hooked 'em, and now I own a lot of corn." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was down there around 11am or so when they pulled in, but I saw that same truck that you saw. The communications on that thing have to be insane. The anntanae were huge and thick. That had to be somekind of satillite equiptment, to go along with some well armed Secret Service guys. Some musicians, athletes, actors, etc think they have an entourage, they don't have s***. They need to see how the Pres rolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
