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.

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.



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.
