I took the Light Rail to Minneapolis this morning, unaware that Obama was in Minnesota, and riding back, I was stopped at the Fort Snelling station, which is near the V.A. area - where I assume now that Obama was giving his speech. There were at least 6 cops surrounding the parking lot, accompanied by a truck full of soldiers with M15's, one of which got out to confront me when I tried to pass. I had to wait there at the station for 10-15 minutes, where I saw the president's entourage run through. Kinda neat. I'm glad I didn't have anything important to do at the time though.
