Presidential visits are nothing to cheer about even here. It cost my tiny town $20,000 in security just to have a president travel through it on his way from the airport to a fundraiser in another town. During the period he was here all the roads leading between him and the hospital had to be kept completely clear leaving me to wonder what would happen if I had to go to the hospital. When the President comes to New York the traffic snarl is unbearable, but they don't actually close the city. As for riding in open coaches, this has not been a popular presidential activity since JFK rode in an open car in Dallas. Devon
