All in all, like I said, ridiculous. I'd say the same if he was in the other (in name only) Party.
You have a strange definition of incoherence and verbal comprehension. And insults.

That's great; did POTUS pick up your tab? He's pretty fabulous, but...

TRAFFIC WAS AMAZING!! POTUS can come to town everyday!! Everyone who worked from home today should work from home everyday! Northbound Mopac at 3:15 pm was a dream! Southbound Lamar at 4 pm was unbelievable! Took me 6 minutes to get from 45th and Lamar to Barton Springs and Lamar! Haven't done that since 1988.

No freaking doubt. It was amazing today - I'd say 2003 was about the last time a Friday was this clean. I ran the loop from Research/Burnet down to Congress and Ben White, then up Mopac to the Domain for happy hour.

Left Burnet/Research at 3:30 and was waiting for happy hour to start at the Domain. And I stopped at Ben White for a bit!

It's like the Californians ran and hid.

I'm not an Obama hater, I just think this is ridiculous. He's not "visiting Austin", or paying tribute to our city. His visit is not about Austin at all. He's using us as his meeting spot for donors.
All politicians do that, Steve. The mass disruption to our city wasn't the president. It is sxsw...for all of us who aren't privileged to telecommute and are working during spring break.
