An unidentified man was arrested early this morning for approaching the security perimeter by Barack Obama's South Side house. The house, located near the intersection of 50th Street and Greenwood, is surrounded by some security barriers and signs warning that only authorized personnel are allowed. No charges have been filed yet, and police say it appears the man did not have any weapons in his possession. He's currently being interviewed by police and charges have not been filed. Speculation is that Sen. Obama was probably home at the time as he attended two fundraisers in the city last night before heading off today to Florida to prepare for Friday night's debate.

Think of how many hundreds of people it takes to create "security barriers around John McCain's many mansions.
i think obama's house was probably more expensive than three or four of mccain's mansions. poor rezko. why did nobody point out that he could have found much cheaper politicians in less sought-after parts of the city and state.
Does the perimeter get extended even wider if Obama becomes president? Will Kenwood be a "no fly zone"? Who was the last president to have his family home in a densely populated area? Interesting logistics involved there.
The neighbors having to subject their guests to secret service background checks is bound to get old really fast.

Yes. You've uncovered the quid pro quo. Because the state's attorney, federal prosecutor and local media all found exactly DICK.
You've uncovered the conspiracy. Welcome to the elite.
i think they found a little bit more than dick. but.
