Mitt hung in Maine. Between his hub-bub and the flagrant display of Marine Patrol and the S.S. I need some antacids. The parade was a real 'Mitt' Show this morning....

Your right on..

The parade was long (an hour and a half) but I was very disappointed in the floats. People used to decorate them and they looked so pretty. Now they just stick a sign on and that is it. I think they should at least put some streamers on or something. Libby Museum had some trees and animals and one other float had a tree but other than that, there weren't any decorations. Mitt was last before the fire trucks, but I think it might have been better to have him first and end the anticipation. But maybe they thought people would leave.

...I marched in a parade in Amhearst NH yesterday, and the politicians were last. Emergency vehicles were first...they do that every year, so they are not delayed any longer than is necessary...a good idea. First time I have seen the politicians last...great idea. For the rest of the marchers, it literally shortened the time of the parade as compared to last year by about a half hour. No one walking along the route in the front of the parade trying to shake every hand... on both sides of the street...creating an hour and a half of stop and go marching.

Not sure, looking at the pic, but my wife wonders if their parents dress each brood in their own family's colors to avoid confusion?

E.g., blue, yellow etc.

A fertile family, no doubt ... but is ferility in this day and age politically correct?

Seems that most if not all Coast Guard inflatables are red like the photo.
On a recent cruise, they DID have high power machinery mounted. All personnel aboard had very heavy duty life jacket gear, and helmets, as they moved around the ship as it exited the harbor. There may have been two.
All part of U.S. Coast Guard presence on our coasts & harbors.

So, instead of the armed Secret Service on foot, and w big black armored SUV, with presidential candidates, we will see armed Coast Guard boats on any body of water!

EDIT: I am now visiting in Annapolis MD. People are on same "creek" as Coast Guard Station is located farther in. We see them go by, in & out all the time. Man here says same red hulled boats made by Zodiac are all over the country. Nothing new for them to be patrolling coast with ships constantly moving; here there are cargo ships constantly moving in/out of Baltimore, for example.

So, to see them around presidential candidates will be nothing new. Same is true if we were to visit an airport where they fly in & out of, we will see additional aircraft on patrol. Even an added plane or two carries the secure automobile the President rides in, and secret service personnel with their vehicles. Nothing is left to chance.

Therefore, THIS is what will happen and what happens NOW on the LAKE!

I think you will find that the Personal on the Coast Guard boats where not only from the Coast guard but also from the Secret Service.... Should Mitt win, I believe you will see Secret Service boats instead of the Coast Guard boats, just like they have in Kennebunk Port Maine, for the Bush family...

The Coast guard is not tasked with protecting the President, or Presidential candidate, The Secret Service is tasked solely with that responsibility.... and they bring there own equipment when practical... If Mitt loses they will not be responsible for his protection any more... Thus right now they are borrowing Coast Guard Equipment.

The Secret Service Vessels in Kennebunk Port Maine, look just like the Coast Guard Boats pictured here. (not surprising at all)... And are heavily armed...

There will also be increased Marine Patrol Presence when Mitt is around... As the Secret Service coordinate with the local law enforcement. I wouldn't be surprise to find out if Mitt Wins, the NH Marine Patrol, gets some Federal Grant Money....


Bottom Line, remember the Secret Service, is responsible for Presidential Candidates, and the President... Not the Coast Guard, not the Military, the Secret Service... So although the boats may have carried coast guard colors, they where maned with Secret Service agents.....

I took a bi-plane ride over the lake this afternoon and flew over the Romney compound. No machine guns being mounted or Blackhawk helicopters intercepting. It was a spectacular ride over the whole lake and I would recommend it for anyone. The pilot Phil, expertly piloted the 1935 Waco over Paugus Bay, Meredith, our summer home in Centre Harbor, then went over the Castle in the Clouds, and then back to the LRC for a perfect smooth landing.

If this was true then the Marines would not be responsible for transporting to and from the airport on either the Sea Kings or Whitehawks (marine one is the only one that actually has the pres. at that time), the Air Force would not be responsible for Air Force 1 as well as the cargo transport of all Marine helicopters and SS detail vehicles and personnel. Both branches have specific divisions that are responsible for their assigned task for presidential details and transportation.

Also the Presidential detail of the SS is only a division of the SS and is for a set period of time and is mandatory. It is not a very fun time, long hours, tons of travel and lots of stress. Not a great stint of time for someone with a family. The lions share of Secret Service work is check fraud and other white collar crimes investigation.

Marine 1 and Air Force 1, and other aircraft 1 are designated for ONLY THE specific aircraft that is carrying The President of the United States, never the candidates.

Interesting lake trivia.....

A good friend of mine from Wolfebore was the Ops officer of HMX-1 for quite a few years... had alot of GREAT stories! Somewhere I still have the Squadron coin he gave me....

You can also expect to be seeing these boats as well... they just got the contract for replacing the old Coast Guard RIBs.. check out the 28 Defiant! A certain principle of that company may or may not have been stopped on Lake Winni for a 150' violation!

You are quite correct, I also exampled that in my response, but stopped at Marine 1. And aircraft "2" is for the Vice P.

The quote I responded to, included both the President and candidates in the exclusion of military use, but I don't think I made my response clear in the separation of the two (being the President and candidates) and how the military is used for the President as standard practice.

Not that I want to go toe to toe here, because I don't....

The secret service doesn't have the specialties required to fly air force one, marine 1 etc. that is why these tasks are left to the marines and the airforce. However after reading many articles, and watching many programs, the SS is still task with overseeing all the work on these aircraft, and is responsible for the security of the aircraft as well....The airforce and marines, provide the pilots and the maintenance crews to the Secret Service.

Bottom line, with the airforce and Marines take part of the security and transportation, while on those details the fall under the ultimate control of the Secret Service.

Having talked with the Secret Service, about employment, believe me it isn't just the white collar crime, and the protection of the president that they are involved in. There job is quite diverse.

Well, we don;t have to worry anymore. The elections are all rigged. Here is the proof.
We can all go back to watching the Loons zipping around on Wolfeboro Bay...Oh! And the birds too.......
