Obama and the Mayor

The Mayor had to catch a flight to LA to conduct some business. He booked a flight on Virgin America airlines, Sir Richard Branson's USA air operation. Arriving an hour plus ahead of takeoff, the mayor noticed a number of media types hanging around Gate 54 in the new Terminal 2 building at SFO. Then,a number of SFPD on Segues showed up. And then, State Senator Leland Yee showed up with escorts and more security. What's going on?
Then the red, white, and blue hats came out, then the balloon archway went up, and then Obama, and then Mitt Romney!!!!!
Incredible you say. Their flight was leaving for Washington,DC at 8am. Inaugural service for Virgin America. Reaching across the aisle, so to speak. Cameras rolling, lights flashing, media running about for position. It was a frenzy. Obama began shaking hands, everybody w/i arms length, and Mitt the Mormon, too. I introduced myself and shook hands all around. I was so proud.
Then, I looked close, real close. They're all actor/doubles, hired for the event. The mayor felt dirty, cheapened by these imposters(except for Sen. Yee).
So, corporate promotion, hype, etc.
Nice event. The Mayor made his flight and landed safely an hour and ten mins. later.
