It seems that the global-warming induced rain in California (don’t get mad at us … Bill Nye said it’s because of global warming) has forced Air Force One along with passenger Barack and Michelle Obama to land in Riverside, CA and not in Palm Springs where the two planned to have a post-presidential vacation.
Liz Kreutz from ABC News reports:
Obama's plane has been circling over Palm Springs airport for over 20 min because of the weather

Cop at Palm Springs airport just came by to say Obama's plane diverted to Riverside (March air base)

So, do they take Uber to Palm Springs or what?
Hardest hit are the Obama supporters still in Palm Springs:

Editor’s note: Yes, we know it’s not called Air Force One:

And this is funnier because we’ve mocked President Obama for golfing in Palm Springs while the state was experiencing a severe drought. And now his golf vacay is rained out?
Obama off to Palm Springs for Valentine's Day weekend. Reminder: There's still a drought in CA, so no golf, right? http://t.co/s1xwB9CLt2
