That's right President Bush arrived in Salt Lake City yesterday afternoon and is still here today. He met with the First Presidency of the Latter-Day Saints Church this morning before 9:00 a.m. and then it was off to his speak engagement of the American Legion. He was out of the city by noon today and off on a plane to who knows where (well I'm sure somebody knows, just not me).
And you're probably thinking what does President Bush's visit do with Jenn. Well, it did effect me, in the most insidious way. It messed up my drive to work this morning. That's right all the traffic was backed up and not much fun today because a good number of roads were blocked off for the President's security.
Okay, I'm going to try and not sound upset here, but let's do some math. Securing a road for 1 man vs. traffic and longer commutes for a couple of thousand. Hmmm, that math seems a little off. Boy, am I glad it's not every day the President comes to town.

it's worse for pilots. they shut down our entire operation everytime he goes into LA (read: no revenue that day = money lost = bad for economy).
or the time one of our pilots had to turn back in flight because they closed panama city down for his visit. our guy had no advance notice, but our company shelled out probably close to a thousand dollars for that flight to nowhere.
supposed its not any worse for the economy than it would be if Bush got killed due to slack security...but one wonders where we're to draw the line.
