Presidential seal falls off podium as Obama speaks



Oct 5, 10:04 PM (ET)

WASHINGTON (AP) - The presidential seal fell off President Barack Obama's lectern and clattered to the stage as he delivered a speech to a women's conference.

"That's all right, all of you know who I am," the president joked to laughter from the audience when he realized what had happened.

"But I'm sure there's somebody back there that's really nervous right now, don't you think?" the president added, referring to whatever staffer had hung the seal on the front of his lectern so precariously.

"They're sweating bullets," he said, laughing. "Anyway, where were we."

It happened about halfway through the president's remarks to Fortune magazine's "Most Powerful Women Summit" Tuesday night at Carnegie Mellon Auditorium.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Do you think that's constantly on his mind now?  ;D

Wonder if that seal can be rigged to fall off while he is speaking?

Had I been the one responsible for putting it on the podium, I'd have found a way.

Maybe we will see a rash of similar incidents....or at least videos of White House Staffers checking the Seal Integrity at future speeches.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

Honestly, I don't think he cares. Being President isn't his goal. If it was he would actually do the job. His aspirations are much higher. He doesn't think nationally, he thinks globally. That's why he's so in love with the U.N. You can bet, that he and his cronies are trying to concoct a situation to where he can call for U.N. support to help us weather the crisis, and then just never leave.
