Air Force One didn't end up landing until about 5:05 and he got to the house at about 5:25. He left the house at 7pm and left the city at about 7:30. I was trying to leave at around 5, as I assumed he was already here. Nope. And they had all arteries into and out of the community locked up. So I got far enough along that I couldn't do a u-turn and got locked in. Had no choice but to wait with the 2 or 3 hundred people standing along the main road. It was quite a scene when the motorcade came by, but I got a lot of strange looks from the crowd (and 1 death threat) when I yelled out to GW (who was waving out the window of the second limo), 'YOU BETTER FU*KING GET RID OF RUMMY AND CHENEY'.
I talked to somebody who was at the fundraiser and he said the head count ended up being around 800, not 200, as I was previously told was expected . So about 2 million for two hours. Somebody mentioned that this is a Florida record for presidential 'one shot' fundraisers.
I really need to rethink my city of residence.
Dogs, this guys house would go for about 12 million. Don't lump me in with that sort of dough. I might not live in a shack, but there are all sorts of residences in that community that span the whole spectrum. In fact, my pad barely goes for half that.
