Obama visits Yellowstone, reaction from Henry Winkler

As you can imagine security was tight at Yellowstone airport today. Secret service were all over the place for the president's departure. When Obama arrived he saluted one of the guards, and walked with his family toward the plane. And as all president's do, he waived to the press a few times, before finally getting on the plane.

Airforce One is a pretty large plane for Yellowstone airport, and you won't believe who got a tour on it.

"We flew in, and got off the plane, I got M&M's from the president's plane. So if I never, if I don't catch a fish, look what I did. Then I met all of the secret service and the staff, and they send their regards to you," said Henry Winkler.

Henry Winkler, who came to fame as Fonzie on Happy Days, is in town to go fly fishing at the fire hole ranch.

"Arthur fonzarelli did, you know what he did? He voted for the president... what we need in America more than anything else in the world is a great healthcare plan," said Winkler.

Other visitors were in the same kind of awe as Winkler was about the president's visit to the area. Some were even lucky enough to get the chance to watch his departure from inside the terminal.

"I think it's a terrific thing, I think the national parks need this kind of attention," said David Straus, who is visiting from New York City.

"I think it's really exciting, we didn't expect it to happen, obviously. Just happen to be here, it's a great thrill," said Jim Daly from San Francisco.

ha wow u were at the airport. thats cool. we were lucky because we were staying at the old faithful inn so we were right there otherwise it would have been impossible to get there from anywhere else.

[heitah]

That's really cool Thugz. I decided it was going to be impossible to see Obama inside the park. So I stuck it out at the airport ;)

[Thugz4Real]

the traffic to get into the park was really bad lol i had no idea that air force one landed at that small airport there. thanks for the video upload!

[Thugz4Real]

When he made his appearance i left immediately and by the road to get out of the old faithful village was a large field with several United States Marine Helicopters that carried the motorcade and there was also the president's helicopter (marine one)

[Thugz4Real]

it was really awesome. i knew he was at the park while i was there but that was my last day there and i was gonna see the pools when i saw more of a crowd waiting for Obama rather than old faithful's eruption lol. i was told by park rangers that obama was making an appearance and decided to stick around to see.

[Thugz4Real]

i saw him at yellowstone he was near old faithful geyser at around 12:00 noon. i waited with a crowd for about 2 hours while secret service secured the area. Then we saw several military choppers land in a field far away then Marine One landed in the same field then came the motorcade... Obama and his family walked on the board walks that went to all the pools near old faithful (of course that area was all blocked off to the public)
