Obamas

So, as I've said, they were in Prague, but we were not at the time. It would have been interesting to try and see him here but apparently you needed tickets to see his actual speech, so all I would have been able to see were the hoards of people, police, etc. 

My co-worker, Oliver, was taking his sister to the airport on Sunday and saw AirForceOne at a hangar, then waited a bit and saw Obama's car and a slew of others pull into the hangar. He didn't have a camera, so no pictures, but he said it was really neat. Also, his sister's flight was 2 hours delayed due to the fact that they shut the airport runways down in order for AF1 to take off.

Here is the front page of one of the Czech newspapers from yesterday. The headline reads: "We will not betray you" promises Obama. Then underneath it says something about ObamaMania and that over 10,000 people came to see him.
