President Obama is in Denver this afternoon and traffic could come to a standstill as the presidential motorcade makes it way around the city.

After addressing graduates of the U.S. Air Force Academy this morning, the president lands at Buckley Air Force Base at about 2 p.m. and is then scheduled to speak at a political campaign fund raiser in Denver at about 3:30 p.m.

After the Democratic fundraiser at the Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center, Obama is scheduled to be back at Buckley to depart Colorado at about 4:45 p.m.

Drivers in Denver and the southeast metro area, especially around Buckley, this afternoon could experience traffic stops and tie-ups associated with the president’s visit.
