Obama and his family were in Chicago over the weekend but it didn’t go quite as planned. The reason for the visit was to promote their $50 million book deal and to visit the site of the new Obama presidential library slated to be built this year. They were also planning to visit the Brookfield Zoo and a couple of other area attractions.
Instead they spent most of the weekend in a hotel after learning that the Chicago Police department refused to provide the necessary escorts and protection to keep them safe for their planned activities. With only a small contingent of Secret Service to rely on, they had to settle for having a pizza delivered and a short, unannounced walk on the Miracle Mile.
