'Thousands of bees' swarm White House

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/98075-thousands-of-bees-swarm-white-house

"..A swarm of "thousands of bees" gathered outside the White House this morning.

The small army of insects hovered as Obama tried to leave the White House to play basketball at Fort McNair, according to a pool report.

By the time the president returned at noon, the bees were apparently nowhere in sight....."

All in all this is a non story. Some bees swarmed, landed near the White House and then moved on.

The comments - both left and right are the interesting part. Go back four years and change the President to Bush and the comments would have been similar - just coming from the other side.

One of the Presidents Bush will be blamed for this. :rolleyes:

I'm sure VP Cheney will be asked to testify before Congress on this event, along with the current oil spill in the gulf.

I think I read that is as a sign of the start of the peak oil zombie apocalypse.

I'm sure it was just a "We Need Free Honey" rally from the Bee Lobbyists. These days everyone's going after their entitlements.

Look for a "free honey" stimulus to be passed by Congress next week. Of course, we may need to get a detailed definition of the word "honey".... :munchin

Because the bees were working on the roses in the garden, Obama will claim that 5,000 jobs were created.:rolleyes:

Were they Esso bees?

'Cause I have long suspected that there were a LOT of those in the White House.

Now, if it was a swarm of flies, I would have a working theory on that. :p

They were actually locusts, and are now employed by Treasury, Fannie Mae, the Fed, General Motors, ACORN and the White House Council of Economic Advisers.

No bees were found due to insect profiling under the new migration law.

Two honey bee farmers are suing.
