Welcome to the US in the age of Obama

As we stood in line for what seemed an interminably long time at passport control this evening, I remarked to one of the people near me in the US citizens' line that I missed the days when you arrived in Boston and they showed CNN or the Red Sox game (they actually won tonight) on the screen as you waited in line. Instead, now you get interminably long instructions about how to go through passport control, and then get greeted by just about every ethnic in the US... didn't notice any obvious Jews....

The wait was interminable because after our flight arrived an hour early(!), we sat so long on the runway waiting for a gate, and then a gate agent, that we got off the plane around the time we were originally expected to arrive. Then, when we got inside, the line was so long that they kept us lined up in the hallway and did not allow us into the arrivals hall. I cleared customs about 45 minutes after we got off the plane, nearly two hours after we landed.

It almost made it worth thinking about paying the $300 fee for the biometric pass. Those guys got to go straight through. But I don't travel here often enough to do that....

Imagine what it will be like if God forbid there's another four years of Obama....

Noah David Simon,

Sorry, but that was better than looking at all those people in the video and wondering how many of them were illegal aliens.
