New York City motorists don’t appreciate having their cars towed to make way for a presidential motorcade.
But President Barack Obama appreciates having a clear path in New York traffic.
Obama met with a traffic enforcement agent who tows cars whenever the president is in town to thank him personally.
The Daily News reports that traffic agent Clarence Baugh got to meet Obama on Tuesday when the president was in New York to address the United Nations.
The News said Baugh got a text message from the Secret Service to be outside the Waldorf Astoria at 3:30 p.m.
When he arrived, he was told the president wanted to meet him inside.
Baugh says Obama told him, “Clarence, I appreciate everything you’re doing.”
Baugh says the experience was “awesome.”

Of course it was awesome “Muhtza min es mino” Obama would have made a perfect NYC traffic agent. What a shame he got another job first.
