OBAMA DROPS BY FOR A VISIT

A FORMER SIOUX CITY RESIDENT GOT A SUPRISE TUESDAY WHEN PRESIDENT OBAMA SHOWED UP OUTSIDE HER DOOR.

BECKY RIEDESEL AND HER FAMILY MOVED TO CEDAR RAPIDS IN THE SPRING AFTER HER HUSBAND GOT A NEW JOB THERE.

FIRST THE SECRET SERVICE SHOWED UP IN THE MORNING TO TELL HER THAT THE PRESIDENT WOULD BE VISITING A NEIGHBOR'S HOME LATER IN THE DAY:

THE AGENTS TOLD HER FAMILY THAT THEY SHOULD STAY INDOORS DURING THE PRESIDENT'S VISIT, AND NOT EVEN COME OUT ON THEIR FRONT PORCH:

RIEDESEL SAYS SHE EVEN HAD TO KEEP HER 9TH GRADE SON HOME FROM BASEBALL PRACTICE. PRESIDENT OBAMA SPENT AROUND 25 MINUTES AT HER NEIGHBORS, BUT AS HE LEFT, HE SAW THE FAMILY LOOKING OUT THEIR WINDOW:

OBAMA CHATTED WITH THE FAMILY AND A FEW NEIGHBORS AND THEN DEPARTED. 
RIEDESEL SAYS IT WAS A CHANCE OF A LIFETIME TO MEET THE PRESIDENT AND MADE UP FOR THE INCONVENIENCE THE NEIGHBORHOOD WENT THROUGH PRIOR TO HIS VISIT.
