I'm glad you thought to ask -- it was taken on April 20, 2010
He was on his way to speak at USC and our neighborhood is in the flight pattern to USC and downtown.

I'm not printer/computer Smart but I did manage to scan the photo
of the helicopter flying right over my house!
Can't see my house on the photo

The neighbor took the photo but now I have to figure out how to scan it into a post.

so the city is still intact...

We are near the airport.

Two nights ago there were helicopters circling all around over the neighborhood.

We called the Sheriff and asked what the problem was ~ they said they were not aware of a problem.

Think they were doing a dry run.

I took a photo about two years ago when the President's helicopter was coming from the airport to go to a Speaking Engagement at USC.

Our entire neighborhood was waving and jumping up and down!

And..... When I was in DC for the exchange of power celebration - I saw another exciting moment in the sky ---It was GW making his final departure from the White House!

There were 6 of us jumping up and down and giving the finger to GW.
He may not have seen our farewell because he was probably drunk.

Okay...maybe "hate" is too strong a word. The least you could do is run down the street and tell him I said, "Hi".

That's what I get for living in Arizona.

in July!

I love Arizona.
I remember being there in the summer and looking up at the stars ~ the sky was so clear and the stars were so brilliant.

Ugh. That's like going to Chicago in January.

Yes, it is beautiful. We have those funky electric blue skies here. I'm originally from Chicago, so stars had to be pretty damned bright to see them. I remember being up in the mountains here on my first nite in AZ. I told my kid's dad that there was a weird cloud in the sky. He laughed and said, "That's the Milky Way."

Living here is a different story. If some of the blue states would just cut a few of their Dems loose and get them to move here, it would be a happier place.

Dont do anything crazy, they're on to your shenanigans

Some guy had written all kinds of nasty letters, so they had him staked out for a few days around the visit.

Say what you want about the hookers, the Secret Service was on the ball. I also trained with Capitol Police snipers, so I would never try anything fishy in DC.

Not laughing about the security. I wasn't sure if you were complaining about it, as some resent all of it.

I'm glad for the level of security. Now, more than ever. Thanks for sharing your work in this... I worry a lot about Obama in these different public places. We've lost too many good people.

And thanks for keeping Gore safe. The memory of the scenes outside the VP mansion in 2000 still bring a chill to me.

calls him "My President" everyone that knows me understands that I am his biggest fan.

Ms. goclarkObama

W00T!

Friends are calling me from Maryland and New Jersey to find out if I was able to see him and wave. They all know that I am his #1 Fan.

I selected goclark in 2004 because I was a great Wesley Clark supporter.

Now I have unoffically changed my name to goobama!

Thanks everyone for sharing my joy!!

Coast Guard gets all kinds of jumpy when the POTUS is in town.

And the traffic? Yikes!

Anyway, hope you get a glimpse and a smile.

I got stuck on the dreaded 405 freeway which they closed in both directions this morning for 30 minutes. Took me 1-1/2 hours to go door to door from home to work.



why does he always visit us at rush hour in L.A.

Glad he's raising money for the election though
