POTUS in COS MAY 30 for Air Force Academy Graduation

[BushMasterBoy]

President Trump will be in Colorado Springs Thursday. You might want to adjust your travel plans accordingly. I am sure I-25 will be a cluster...

Thanks for the heads up. Glad I don't have to go down there that day.

When Obama was here in town a number of years ago the entire North side from Garden of the Gods to Baptist, I25 to Union was absolute gridlock for a couple hours after graduation.

The effect was staggering.

This pisses me off a lot with the road closures. I remember when I25 was closed by DU and Mile High for the debates and DNC inauguration. Why? Because a black senator? These people are not all important gods. They are wholly replaceable and government was designed to work with a chain of command if the head is cut off.

Absolutely no US political office is so important that they must close down corridors and place a city in gridlock. If travel by road is so threatening, they should stay off and helicopter in, or attend via video conferencing from a secure location.

Agree so much that even movies about the President being in danger I'm like "Meh."

I was trying to taxi for take off when he was in the Springs. It was a total cluster. As it ALWAYS is when Air Force One is near you. The Thunderbird F-16 crashing didn't exactly help.

At least he wasn't getting a haircut on the tarmac.

Gotta fly out DIA tomorrow so hopefully that shouldn't be a giant CF.
