When I worked in London out of the US Embassy Bush II was coming over for a visit. The British media really blasted him and were complaining on and on before the visit about traffic, costs, and other issues. Bush and Colin Powell came to visit the embassy staff and the First comment from the President was “everybody was worried about the traffic, I haven’t had a problem”. Classic Bush and the place erupted with laughter.
Bottom line is wherever a President goes there will be traffic and other headaches, you just have to deal with it the best that you can and try to stay out of the impacted area if possible.
