Day 920 - President Obama at DreamWorks - 11.26.13

Today we had President Obama stop by and give a speech.  Actually that makes it seem like he just swung by on a whim.  In fact plans for his visit began weeks ago as the secret service started scoping out the place.  The campus has had a bunch of cosmetic improvements in preparation for the president as well.  Then we couldn't even park at work this morning.  We had to park at the LA Zoo and then we were shuttled to work.  Then when we got there most of the campus was blocked off.  We had to go through security to get on campus and then once on campus we had to go through security again to get into the area where the president was going to speak.  We had to wait in line for that and once we were there waiting, we had to wait a couple hours for the president to speak.  I of course wandered around taking photos.  The speech was good.  DreamWorks employees for the most part are big supporters and so he was preaching to the choir for sure.  All in all it was a pretty neat experience even if it was a bit of a hassle.  So this was something I saw today.
