It's common to shut down large areas for security and has been for a very long time. JFK's infamous trip to Dallas shut down a huge part of that town. Of course we know how great security was there.
As for Lebanon it is a town of maybe 25,000 close to Cincy. Very heavy GOP area. I think President' Taft's birthplace was nearby.
Now the ticket part, I have problems with if the people had to pay. If it's an open free event and the tickets are for people who passed security checks and that's it then that's fine and I in fact think that is a good idea.
If Bush is closing a whole town and then charging then this is something people need to know about and Bush needs to explain why he did it.
To use your authority to close a town down for a fundraiser is unfair to his opponent, is a blatant abuse of power and shows no respect to the people.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
