Circuit Avenue is the main thoroughfare in Oak Bluffs. It is lined with all sorts of restaurants, bars, stores and even an amusement center. Tonight the Obamas decided to eat at Restaurant A. That's great for Restaurant A, as they can merchandise the visit for a number of years. However, it is not good for Restaurant B, which is next door to Restaurant A. The problem is that no one is allowed to enter Restaurant B. Obama must be protected at all costs.
Who pays the price of this protection? Through our taxes we pay for the Secret Service, FBI, State Police, Oak Bluffs police. The owner of Restaurant B and his employees pay a more direct price: their restaurant is empty.
