No matter your politics, it's pretty cool to see the President of the United States in person.
Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald and Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto did more than just see President Obama when he addressed the Veteran of Foreign Wars convention at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center Tuesday morning, they got to ride along with the commander-in-chief as he traveled from the airport to downtown.
Peduto and Fitzgerald took to twitter afterwards to dish about the conversation and of course, share some pictures.
Surprisingly there was no traffic or construction on the Parkway West this morning… pic.twitter.com/sGofsfFxgQ
