Open letter to the president

[crewgrrl]

Dear President Obama,

Most New Yorkers love your policies and want to see you in office for another 4 years. We even like that you love our city enough to come visit. What we hate is that you tie up not only our traffic, (which is horrendous at the best of times), but our usually excellent public transit system as well.

Sincerely,
A frustrated New Yorker

It's better than General Assembly week, though. At least it's one day and one man we like. Tying the city up in knots to protect sworn enemies for several days? Ick.

I saw the impact he had down in Chelsea earlier today (and he wasn't even there yet) but what did he do to public transit?

Screwed up the buses. Many had to be rerouted due to security concerns.

Ah, this makes sense. Since I am very much a subway person, I didn't notice a difference.

And that was supposed to post in reply to your reply, but somehow managed not to. Oops.

Gahhh yes. Tried to walk to the art store from UD's place. Amsterdam and Broadway both blocked off. Police vague as to possible alternative route. Unable to bitch on phone to UD because walking down street lined with police going "God damn the damned President and his damned security and all the damned police department" is Not Politic.
