Some friends & I took a walk in the city near 34th Street. We were wondering why the street was closed. Then I overheard someone said the President was in town with his wife.

That made sense to me since I read the newspaper early in the morning stating that the President was on a date with his wife Michelle and was taking her to watch a Broadway Show called "Joe Turner's Come and Gone" at the Belasco Theater.

So anyways, as you watch the video... I film him as he passed by in this black vehicle.

3. I thought it was a bit much

Maybe half that number?

I still kind of jumped up and down when the black cars went by. :blush:

6. New York: Tall buildings, lots of opportunities for trouble, maybe.

That, and the exuberance over the visit.

In the police motorcycle meeting:

"OK, who wants to ride escort?" All hands go up, "I do, I do, I do!" :P

7. Re: Motorcycles--LOL--Exactly

There were way too many motorcycles for that not to have been a "volunteer" escort.

Good to see they have the prez covered, but also good to see that Barack is treating Michelle right.

Love that relationship.

11. Obama vs. Bush vs. Clinton, Carter, Reagan, BushSr.

Bush took the most vacations on the taxpayer's dime on AIR FORCE ONE!

487 days at Camp David (149 round trips)
490 days at Crawford Ranch (77 round trips)
43 days at Kennebunkport Compound (11 round trips)

And this does not include all the Air Force One trips he took to campaign for other Republicans, the trip to New York to take Laura to a Broadway show "Wicked", and other vacation locations, etc.

Total: 1020(?) vacation days, more than 1/3rd of his presidency. Bush set the record for most vacation time taken by president. — which comes out to about 2.8 yrs of vacation in 8 years.

---

Other presidents:

Carter took 79 days in 4 years.
Clinton took 152 days in 8 years.
Reagan took 335 days in 8 years.
Bush Sr. took 543 days in 4 years!
