President Obama flew to Minneapolis today, and the flight gave him the opportunity to take in the US/Germany World Cup match:

@markknoller @vj44 @dougmillsnyt Are those chips on the table Michelle Obama approved? I don't think the meet the healthy initiative.

Air Force One is obviously not held to Michelle Obama’s school lunch regs.
At the Minneapolis airport, flights were delayed to accommodate Obama’s plane, as travelers noted:

I suppose Air Force 1 being on the runway is a decent reason for a delayed landing.

Delayed travelers should be comforted by the fact that Obama can, with a flick of the remote, also check up on what John Kerry is doing at any given moment:
