Looks like nobody got their nose bent out of shape.... But by tonight, it will be on the news and it will be negative and terrifying.

The drone didn't buzz the president, Obama buzzed the drone! The operator had no idea that the motorcade was in the vicinity, how could he?

A drone buzzes President Obama and nothing bad happens. Sounds like a good story to me!

Hi Ben,

I guess it depends on how you define a good story..

Not so good if you were the guy flying around minding his own business and you have to spend an hour or two dealing with some secret service pinhead justifying what you were doing. Also overall it is a good story except that the media headline positioned this story in such a way as to get the general public believe a drone buzzed the president when that wasn't close to the truth.

The secrete service removes parked cars along a route, stops people from riding motorcycles, bicycles, or just walking and crossing the street all the time. Its a real pain in the butt when this pinhead goes anywhere, the real issue is that this was a non story that was promoted simply because a drone was involved.

When Obama was here visiting the Everglades, there was a blanket TFR that covered South Fl and half of the Keys.
