Change and congestion
President-elect Barack Obama has won over the hearts and minds of lots of Americans, but there’s one interest group he may never win over: bus drivers.
A Yeas & Nays spy was on D.C.’s No. 42 Metro bus this week when the driver called out, “Last stop for H Street!”
This took a few regular passengers by surprise, because the bus usually continued on along this route.
“Eye Street is blocked off,” the driver explained. “Blame it on the president.”
With the Obamas staying close to the White House at the Hay-Adams hotel, the entire area has become home to two U.S. presidents — present and future — and a small army of Secret Service agents.
