yesterday, when returning from the east village, i ran into a roadblock at lafayette street. supposedly obama was up the block at the public theatre and would be leaving soon . . so we all had to wait for him to go by in order to get across. (here's 2012's episode.)
he was in one of those black cars . . i'm assuming it was one of the ones with flags waving on the hood. i followed the first car with the phone camera but it looked empty. maybe he was in the second car. you can never see him . . the windows are so dark and they go by in seconds.
We once lined up in Southern France to see the French president arrive at his summer residence. I remember standing in the hear for HOURS. Then we were told he would not come that day after all. I was 11, but I will never forget this.
