And It Begins

President-elect Barack Obama's motorcade had to make an unexpected stop while on their way to a security briefing with the FBI in Chicago. An LA Times pool reporter witnessed the incident:

The SUV cut the car off immediately, and the security team aimed their weapons
at the car. The driver and passenger in the sedan stopped, and looked stunned --
until the male driver appeared to understand what was happening (your pool
reporter could see him mouth "Obama"). The motorcade continued on. The sedan
remained stopped, near the side of the road. [...] Some of the drivers here in
Chicago do not seem to understand that a) the Chicago police car at the end of
the president-elect's motorcade is serious about having traffic pull over when
the officers flash their lights and hit their sirens, and b) it's not a great
idea to jump ahead of traffic by trying to cut around the black SUV filled with
five heavily-armed secret service CAT members.

I love the part about the driver mouthing "Obama". I am pretty sure they left out the part where he mouth "oh shit" and then winced a little as he crapped his pants.
