WASHINGTON — The White House is moving the site of the upcoming G-8 economic summit from Chicago to the presidential retreat at Camp David in Maryland. It’s an unusual late location change for such a large international summit. The White House gave no immediate reason for the shift, saying only in a statement that Obama is inviting his fellow G-8 leaders to Camp David to “facilitate a free-flowing discussion.” The G-8 meeting will be held May 18-19. The White House says Obama still plans to host the NATO summit in Chicago on May 20-21. The White House announced last summer that Obama would hold both summits in his hometown of Chicago.

He's trying to keep the Tea Party protesters, the 99%, out. Free speech zone with razor wire a couple of miles away.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
