President Obama in Atherton Today
Traffic alert--expect road closures and protests.
By Bay City News Service
President Barack Obama will be in Atherton today to attend two benefits for the Democratic National Committee.
The first will be a $32,000-a-head brunch at the home of Liz Simons and Mark Heising. The president will then visit the home of Marcia and John Goldman. The cheapest tickets to that event cost $1,000.
Activists opposing the Keystone XL pipeline, including local favorites the Raging Grannies, will also be in Atherton, and plan to hold an 8:15 a.m. rally on Valparaiso Avenue, near Alameda de las Pulgas.
The president arrived at SFO last evening and attended two fundraisers in San Francisco last night. He was met by protestors there, too.
Obama will depart from SFO this afternoon. His last visit to the Bay Area was in October during his presidential campaign.
