The president is in town. There were massive delays on the subways, traffic jams too, I’m sure. I took the picture below on my way to the library this morning. I asked a cop, “Is this for a parade?” “No, Obama.” “When is he going to come by?” “Between 4 and 10. They don’t tell us anything more than that.” “Okay, well, I’ll wait right here then.”
