The Group of 8 Summit, a meeting of the governments of the world's eight largest economies, was supposed to convene in Chicago this May. For months, Occupy Chicago, international anti-war groups, Anonymous, and hundreds of allies have publicly planned to shut it down. Now, only two months before the meeting is scheduled to begin, U.S. President Barack Obama is moving the assembly of over 7,000 leaders from the world’s wealthiest governments to the Camp David presidential compound, located in rural Maryland near Washington, DC, one of the most secure facilities in the world. The Chicago Tribune reports that summit organizers are "stunned" by the news.

Obama is afraid of confronting OWS in an election year so he is running away.

Why bother announcing where they are going to meet? Why not just keep it secret? Is there some law that says they must announce it?

It seems like they are inviting protests.

They've been meeting in secret for years. Now it's just too big to hide.


By the way this mess is what you get by having secret meetings.

Okay what about meeting some place where it's hard for the protesters to get to?

Edit: I am just thinking of all the physical damage the protester do.

I had a dream. It was an incredible dream. When I awoke, I had a huge mess to clean up.
