The President Is Here......  |
|
 The President has just arrived close to where I live, I seen the plane getting ready to land and now they're showing it landing on T.V., I live really close to the airport where he has landed and am wondering if I should go and try to get a glimpse of air force one or the president or is this a really bad idea?? Probably a bad idea, but I could be there in 5 minutes!!

 mzz663 (1040) | 4 months ago | LOL!!! Nope, sorry!
I didn't take any pics, though I did see AF 1. He ended up getting in a helicopter and going to the GM factory here.....probably because they are calling people back to work on 2nd shift....too bad it's not 2nd and 3rd.
I think he should have gone for a drive because I'm sure there are some areas where he would have noticed vacant houses and closed businesses. Guess it all looks better from the air when you can fly over the mall where there's a lot of traffic? | |

| mzz663 (1040) | 4 months ago | There are the guys with guns that surround him and if you stop outside of the base where he landed, they will come outside the gates to find out why you're stopped and you better have a good reason. I did notice that when I took my son to school there were police everywhere and around the time he landed.
I didn't get to see him in person, guess he was too busy to stop and chat with the common folk! | |

| jonjee0203 (1686) | 4 months ago | The President will not have a choice in all of these security arrangements. He has plenty of secretaries who will be doing this and cuing him along from one engagement to another. Unless, he is specifically programmed to be at your son's school or somewhere, you would not have a chance to see him up close or to shake hands with him. Fear of assassination and all that is always the concern of Homeland security as well as the President's chief of Staff. | |

3.  ParaTed2k (4586) | 4 months ago |  Go for it! I can't stand Obama, but he is the president. Besides, if you see him, then on one hand you saw a sitting president.. on the other hand, for the rest of your life, you can say that you saw the only person to be elected president, then removed from office in shame because he wasn't eligible.;~D
(((yes, I was joking)))
I'm no Obama fan, but I did drive an hour to Green Bay because he was there. Once for a campaign rally, the other time as part of a protest.:~D

| 6. anniepa (9245) | 4 months ago |  I know I'D be there if I were that close! I'm a supporter of our President but even if I weren't I think I'd take advantage of the opportunity to see the President in person. I went to a rally and saw President Clinton the Sunday before the 1992 election and, although he hadn't yet been elected it's still something I'll never forget.

| 7. stephcjh (22847) | 4 months ago |  I think it is totally up to you. I think I would go and try to get a glimpse also if I lived that close to where he was going to be. I think it could be a good idea if you get to see him.

| 8. The_Lamb_Lies_Down (3054) | 4 months ago |  I was gonna make a real jerk type comment, but I'm not really normally a jerk, so...
I think it would have been cool to actually see him...just so you could say "Yeah, I was out at the airport the other day and I saw Obama"...kind of a conversation starter, you know?

| mzz663 (1040) | 4 months ago | You can make all the jerk type comments you want, I kinda don't really give a sh*t. Didn't see him, just AF1 and the copter flying over the house & an empty AF1 on the landing strip. Not a big deal, I think I'd rather meet a comedian if given the choice. | |
