Question about the V.P.'s residence...

[regnaD kciN]

I understand it's on the grounds of the Naval Observatory. I would assume that means that the entire Observatory grounds is much larger, and fully secured. Is there any way to get a view of it from outside? I'd assume that, if it were visually accessible in any way, you'd see various media outlets currently stationing a reporter within view of it, on the suspicion that, should anything -- shall we say -- change in the POTUS' condition, the first inkling would be unusual activity around the residence?

1. Seems reasonable.

2. Remember when Cheney built an underground bunker there?

Here's info about it. It's on the property of the Naval Observatory but I believe it is fairly close to a street because that's where the freepers went to beat pans and holler at the Gores: "Get Out Of Cheney's House!!"

3. Yeah the house is set back but it's along a big ol' Avenue with big ol' gates with guards

So press could see unusual activity. He prolly has his own press pool watching him.

Here’s a story with lots o’pics.
