Obamania in Ottawa (I saw the motorcade!!!!1!!one!)

Yep, Mr. President is in Ottawa, Ontario for his first international visit and it's all kinda wacky here. People were waiting on Parliament Hill since 8:00AM  even though a) it's snowing and b) you still won't see him. No speeches, no photo ops nothing.  Why would you do that to yourself? I really don't get the people who came in from other cities. If you are protesting something: okay that's cool. But to wait outside to not see someone?  Those people are going to be so dissappointed.


The motorcade did just did pass by: not on the street below, but on an overpass about a kilometer away. Helicopter, ambulances, a couple of dozen cars. No idea which one is him.  I wonder if there is a sniper on my building's roof?  YUMMY!

Great... I was hoping this would stay contained in US borders but it sounds like the infection is spreading....

You get used to this sort of thing when you live in a government town... although it's been ages since a foreign leader has been to Ottawa. \r \r Traffic is literally at a standstill at my building. All ways no traffic is moving.

He was here in Mesa yesterday and I can proudly say it didn't affect my day in any way whatsoever.

I wonder if he is going to the hockey game tonight. I'll be at the game...right behind the Sens bench! wearing my TML Sundin Jersey....suck it bitches! I hope Mats gets a hat-trick tonight. Alfie isn't playing because he broke his fingernail carrying his purse to the rink.

@blowmoneky: are you kidding me? He is staying for a whole 6 hours. It's customary for foreign leaders to also meet witht he Leader of the Opposition. Old Iggy is getting a full 15 minutes as Barack is leaving. I mean it. They are meeting at the Ottawa Airport

I've yet to see him and he lived in Chicago. But that would actually mean I would have to leave the house, and who wants to do that.
