President Obama in Dubuque!

Today President Obama was in Dubuque and he was right across the street from McGraw-Hill. It was a site to see. I'm not into all the politics and all but this we had to see, it's not very often you get to witness this. The only thing is we didn't get to see him, just all the secret service men and woman and all the cars. It was crazy!

Here is looking out from the 2nd floor in our building, last year, before we moved up to 2nd, I would have had the best spot. I'm not facing the opposite direction.

Here is looking out my window at work. The street to the left is where they came in at.

The President was scheduled to speak at 12:30, I usually take my break at noon so it worked out perfectly. Here we are in front of the McGraw-Hill building and across the street they are selling Obama paraphernalia.

We walked to the corner because they made there way to the Grand Harbor where they picked up the first lady. Here is the start of the "parade" (that's the new Flexsteel building in the background)

We think this is the President's bus but there were lots of buses so who really knows.

And across the street while we are waiting for the "black" bus to move I look over and we can see a lot of people in the McGraw-Hill building looking and watching. It was pretty funny but a great view.

Here is the black bus, someone said the President was in there and the first lady joined him in the bus, she arrived earlier, which makes sense because we did see a line of cars go by about an hour earlier.

And then the parade was off. Next door was where the President and first lady were speaking.
