Was the POTUS, VPTOS, or FLOTUS in Denver today?

Last edited Sun Oct 5, 2014, 11:35 AM - Edit history (1)

On our way to Denver International this evening to pick up a friend we saw a caravan of several police cars with lights on escorting three unmarked, tinted-windowed buses, followed by several other police cars heading toward the city. Who else would have commanded that high of security. I didn't hear about a thing.

POS is usually read on message boards as "piece of shit." We saw a widely-read use of that term here recently, that was not universally well-received.

So the post starting this thread either needs some major repair, or perhaps deletion.

No thanks. You can write it out or use the standard abbreviations, but when you use POS, you're insulting the office of the President of the United States. You have a good question. Too bad you didn't ask it in a reasonable way.

Had no idea I was insulting the POTUS. It would NEVER occur to me to refer to the President in a disrespectful way. I was genuinely curious. Geesh.
