I live in Philadelphia and we get Presidential visits fairly often and they always feel the need to close down MAJOR HIGHWAYS for the motorcade to pass regardless of whether or not it's rush hour. It's really pretty annoying.

| That's great. When I was in 1st grade, the whole catholic school went to see Kennedy in our town. Since then, I saw Carter in DC, Clinton & Ford in Mich. And have an autograph picture of Bush Jr. I think it was worth seeing all of them. |

| Gosh, he had a busy day yesterday. He was in Tennessee around 5:00 pm!! And they thought it was okay to shut off freeways coming from Downtown Nashville, during rush hour! Thankfully my mom was off work yesterday, because she wouldn't have gotten home until 9:00. He was here for a govenor also. The coolest person I've ever seen was Michael Jackson, when I lived in Vegas they cut off broadcasting to follow Michael Jackson's SUV around town. And he was close to my house so I walked out of my neighborhood and his car (along with 8000 followers, helicopters, and news crews) drove right past me. It was pretty funny. |

I use to live in Houston, and they were always shuting done the highways for past and present presidents. I remember when George Bush, Sr. celebrated is 80th B-day in downtown Houston, they actually welded all the man holes shut. | |

| He's on Tour..I thought only Singer's( who have great sales) went on tour..At least I get the choice to pay them or not... Well, I do remember the times President Bush came here for Erlich, and Steele... They would make such a BIG HOOPLA and close down so much...Ok, that's all I am going to say on this subject... I love Bill Clinton, BTW!!
