Why doesn't Obama trust Latino's?

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. --Does a fork or dinner knife pose an unacceptable danger to President Barack Obama?

One wouldn’t think so, given the hundreds of lunches and dinners he’s attended ranging from state dinners to political fundraisers to run-of-the-mill stops on the rubber-chicken circuit.

However, at one such lunch Friday afternoon, guests heard an unusual announcement that they needed to hand over their silverware for security reasons.

“It’s very important that you use your utensils as soon as possible,” National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials board member Raquel Regalado told about 1000 delegates at the group’s annual conference.

Regalado hurried the diners to finish up their salads and pre-cut chicken breasts, saying that the Secret Service required that there be no knives at the tables and that the forks be rounded up before Obama entered the room.

This is the first time I have ever heard of this happening. They were denied knives outright, and then had their forks taken away? WTH?

According to the article, it's a routine practice to remove all such items before the President speaks, I guess it's just the first time there's been an announcement about it that any one recorded.

Anyway, I found it amusing...

But what's with the lack of knives? Butter your bread with a spoon?

Crazy story!

Seems to me he did not trust Latino's/Hispanics to vote for him, hence the amnesty he just granted via executive order. Ensure votes.
