President Barack Obama's Second San Francisco Visit
United States President Barack Hussein Obama is in the San Francisco Bay Area for nineteen hours. He arrived at San Francisco International Airport in San Francisco, California to rainy weather and cold temperatures at around 5:19 PM local time on Tuesady, May 25, 2010, today. Upon touching down at SFO this evening, the President of the United States seemed to salute San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and Mr. Newsom threw up his hands as if to say, "Dude, what the heck are you doing? You're not supposed to salute me!", after exchanging a brief talk, the president hopped into his limousine and drove to San Francisco through Highway 280 traffic and the motorcade was met with protesters and fans alike. It was a beautiful and exciting moment, I wish I got a chance to meet the President of the United States. The President is in town for a fundraising dinner for Senator Barbara Boxer. Security was tight and there were more police officers and routes were altered and the President's visit was covered by local media and the media was at the airport and they saw Air Force One land. It was a great time! This is the President's second visit to San Francisco, his first one was in October 15, 2009. Enjoy!

I didn't see the President live and up close and personal, only on T.V. on NBC 11 News Bay Area. :)
I wish President Obama came to San Jose!
But the Al Gore experience was cool! When you're at a presidential or vice presidential event, minutes prior to the president or vice president or former president or former vice president is to arrive, someone important announces the visit and prepares everyone for the visit. Media get ready, and there is a sense of excitement and anxiety, everyone is sweating, and it feels so good! Then, it hits you! The man steps in with his bodyguards and wild cheers go up! So exciting!
