You're joking, right, and not just clueless? Kerry wouldn't have massive
TFRs and would blink before shutting down airspace and airports for himself,
the no bill writing Senator? The entire Eastern Massachusetts region is
being shut this summer down on behalf of Kerry. Amtrak trains, commuter
trains, major commuter rail station, Interstates, major highways, secondary
roads, tunnels, bridges, buses, trolleys, and a major rapid transit station,
all to be shut down. Closed. Mayor Bloomberg has said the same will not
happen in New York which has nearly identical proximities from their arena
to their transportation hub (Penn Station). The Democrat response: take the
week off, or work from home. (Great advice to give a nurse, a waiter, a
carpenter, a janitor).

These are the same people that whine that the working class people are a
paycheck away from poverty and/or homelessness; now they tell everybody to
skip a week of work on their behalf. Not to mention the magnitude of
business lost, especially to the damned small business owners.

And you believe that John F. Kerry would have any qualms about a major
disruption to general aviation? This is the same person that had a Fire
Hydrant moved away from his Beacon Hill Boston townhouse because of the
terrible inconvenience to him. The same person that tells people to get
out of the way whereever he goes because "Do You Know Who I AM?

"The biggest problem: The convention's at Fleet Center, and Fleet is right
next to North Station — the transportation hub of the Hub. It includes a
commuter-rail station and a subway stop, both of which will be closed.

Worse, the city's major north-south thoroughfare, I-93, runs underground
right next to the Fleet Center — and the Secret Service demands it be shut
down for hours each day, including the entire afternoon commute, and not
just in the affected area, but for miles in either direction. Bridges and
tunnels will also be blocked."

"In the space of two months, the Democratic National Convention has gone
from a $154 million boon to Boston to a potential $50 million hit to the
local economy as businesses absorb the magnitude of the announced highway,
street, and mass-transit closings.

Economists' conservative estimates of the loss range from $34.3 million to
$49.8 million for the week, but some forecasts say the potential losses
could be much higher if the effect on suburban communities is factored in as
well. Before the release of new traffic information, the convention had been
pegged in estimates at costing businesses $13 million, according to the
Beacon Hill Institute."
