So, yesterday, Obama came to town to visit the new Intel plant.
I could see the route from my front yard, and watched the Presidential escort vehicles and police drive towards the plant, which is only about 1/2 a mile from my house.
Along with the President's rather awesome "Cadillac One" Presidential limo. (Google it)
Was this badboy:

Oh, ok. But do they have smart missiles that can take down fighter jets and anti-tank rounds?

I see the motorcades around DC on a fairly regular basis.. had no idea those were inside.
They are usually like 15 - 20 SUVS long and the ones I've seen have a bunch of bike cops in front of and after the main procession.

DE, the building where I work is like half a block north of the Intel plant.
I didn't want to get caught at a closed intersection during my .75 mile commute, so I worked from home in the afternoon.
It didn't wreck traffic as much as I thought it would, but it was still an annoyance.

Around here, any disturbance to the I-5 corridor bleeds traffic over to all the other highways. Which fuels my rage.

President Obama landed at Mesa Gateway airport, not at Phoenix's Sky Harbor.
He drove down much smaller 202 and 101 Freeways, not going anywhere near the Interstates.
I had heard he was planning dinners in Downtown Phoenix, but honestly after his motorcade passed, I stopped paying attention...
I can imagine I-5 getting jacked though.

Arizona really represented ourselves well though.... 
The governor wagging her finger in his face, the Vice-Mayor of Chandler tweeting that President Obama's message was misleading, that he was "taking credit" for bringing 1000 new jobs and a $5 Billion dollar investment to the Valley when he had nothing to do with it...
Welcome to Arizona, Mr. President.

We saw those when the President came to WDW last week. We watched the motorcade go by after he left Magic Kingdom and I was wondering what the SUV's were for.

I listened to a man speak once about Secret Service training, who escorts the President, who rides in which vehicles, etc etc... it was fascinating stuff. Some of the ways they are trained to respond to situations is incredible. I think their demeanor matches that gun.

Yeah that's not possible around here. He'll land at either SeaTac or Boeing Field, and he'll have to go straight up I-5 to get to Seattle. The only side route he could take would be if he landed at SeaTac and went 405 to I-90, but that would not only be a longer trip, it would probably screw traffic even more.
Edit he sure as s*** ain't gonna drive up Rainier Ave, either...the gang members there would shoot at him just on principle  So fkin ghetto.

I enjoy the fact that whenever he comes to Chicago, he usually lands, and gets into a helicopter.
