The Gulf Freeway and Loop 610 were shut down to accommodate the President's entourage, causing an enormous traffic nightmare
By Howie Katz
President Biden and the First Lady visited Houston Friday ostensibly to see firsthand the suffering caused by the recent winter storm.
Air Fore One landed at Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base in South Houston, necessitating the closure of the Gulf Freeway in order to accommodate the President's entourage.
Biden stopped of at the Harris County
Office of Emergency Management, the Houston Food Bank and the FEMA Covid
vaccination site at NRG Park, the latter visit also necessitating the
closure of Loop 610.
Biden spent most of the visit at the Houston Food Bank where he spoke with and told the workers they were "doing God's work."
At the federal vaccination site, Biden gave a speech on the importance of everyone getting vaccinated.
Had Biden not come to Texas, federal disaster relief aid for the people who lost
power and clean water, and had their homes damaged or destroyed by
broken water pipes, still would have been forthcoming.
