Big thanks to Claire and Javon for making this happen, helps to have well connected friends!
This is the van I drove all day.
I was constantly acting like Secret Service, I can’t help myself.
Obama’s Air Force One lands at Buckley Air Force Base, after a brief weather hold.
SWAT arrives, we finalize the motorcade and roll out.
We drive to City Park in downtown Denver, with full police blockades everywhere we go.
No stopping, no matter what.
Rush hour on I-25, not a car in sight.
Gotta love that!
We arrive at City Park and Secret Service begins securing the park for the president’s arrival.
Marine 1 and 4 other helicopters arrive.
Obama is rushed from the helicopter to our motorcade.
Our motorcade leaves City Park, I am 4 cars behind the president.
We drop off Obama at the JW Marriott.
After a long day (6am-midnight), we drive back to Boulder.
The next morning, Claire and I drove back to Denver to meet the president.
Hanging out with Secret Service and the Beast.
I of course continued to act like Secret Service.
We meet with the president to discuss FD in regards to guerrilla marketing tactics for his upcoming campaign.
He and Secret Service laughed.
Then time for a few quick photos.
Our two days of presidential activities were over, back to Boulder!
