obama motorcade through shaw?

the MPD police cars/trucks/suvs are often deployed to the corners along 16th street to shut the road off so presidential (and other) motorcades can speed up the street (and keep the rest of us citizens from being able to go where we need to reasonably).

just before 9 this morning, while biking in, i noticed police deployed along rhode island avenue up to the area around seaton elementary and shaw/patterson middle school. does that mean they might be getting a presidential visit this morning? goess we'll have to wait and see.

It was Obama. About 12 motorcycles, 5 cruisers, The Beast and other sundry black vehicles roared down Florida Ave just about 9:30. Source: Me, in a cab on RI Ave.
