Blogger claims Obama is wearing a shoulder holster

Yeah, that's all I'm seeing, too.

Did the guy give any reasons WHY the President, one of the most well guarded men in the world, would need to carry a weapon?

It's the classic seeing something that isn't there mindset. You want to see something there so badly unconsciously that you consciously try to point it out.

I wonder can the president actually carry a gun with him if he wanted to?

I think I read that Teddy Roosevelt routinely carried while president. I don't know if that was only during his free time or to official functions though.

I'm sure if a president really insisted, he probably can carry if he wanted to. The president wasn't allowed to carry a cell phone until Obama insisted.

There is a tale, that while attending a party held by the ruler of Turkey Teddy Roosevelt stuck a .32 into his waistband without a holster. During the party, the pistol worked loose and and down the pants leg to clatter noisily onto the marble floor.

It wasn't the cell phone that the Secret Service had a problem with, it was his Blackberry, which they consider to be a security problem.

I'm left-handed and wear my watch on my right wrist, but I know a few south paws that wear theirs on their left wrist.

As far as 19th-20th century heads of state go, I believe that King Zog of Albania takes the cake: not only he was packing, but also once happened to return fire when attacked. And yes, he had quite a few enemies.

Same here, but only because most of the watches I have owned had buttons on the left side that would eventually be pressed and mess up the watch if I were to wear it on my left wrist.

I haven't worn a watch in forever. My phone has been my watch.

It's actually an interesting evolution in society. We started with pocket watches, then moved to wrist watches and to cellphone in our pocket that pretty much is a resurrection of pocket watches

Even if he could, I seriously doubt that Obama would even consider carrying.
