OBAMA'S MOTORCADE: Hyde Park Kenwood Chicago

This is the motorcade of Senator Obama voting on Election Day 2008 and President Obama's return to Woodlawn Avenue in Hyde Park Chicago Feb 2009.

The latter was a low-level excursion, no flags, motorcycles, or fanfare. My son and I waited a couple of hours by the route turn, by uniformed Chicago Police, to gain position for the videography. The President was playing basketball at a Sunday morning workout in Ida Noyse Hall at the University of Chicago. Woodlawn Avenue was 'cleared' of parked cars, relocated on side streets by a battalion of City of Chicago tow trucks. Secret Service were everywhere!

I guess this was before he became president, and was still campaigning but why did the uploader put this video up, after he became president?
